Change SettingsDialog from Printing Settings Dynamically to Static
Description
Currently, the SettingsDialog uses a dynamic method to print settings from the database based on groupID. This approach has proven to be confusing and has led to issues, such as forgetting to add translations for specific settings like "protect screen." To simplify management and avoid such issues, we propose switching to a static method for handling settings.
Problem
Dynamic Printing Issues: The current dynamic approach using groupID has resulted in confusion and administrative difficulties.
Translation Oversight: Important settings like "protect screen" were missed because of the dynamic handling.
Proposed Solution
Manual Handling: Transition to manually handling each setting in the SettingsDialog to simplify administration and make it easier to manage settings and translations.
Remove Obsolete Fields: Eliminate the use of groupID, label, and setting_type as they will no longer be needed with the static approach.
Steps to Implement
Update SettingsDialog: Modify the SettingsDialog to handle settings in a static manner.
Remove Dynamic Logic: Remove or refactor the existing code that relies on dynamic groupID handling.
Update Translations: Ensure that all necessary translations are added and correctly displayed with the static settings approach.
Test Changes: Thoroughly test the updated SettingsDialog to ensure all settings are correctly displayed and managed.
Documentation: Update any relevant documentation to reflect the changes in how settings are handled.
Acceptance Criteria
The SettingsDialog displays settings statically, without relying on dynamic groupID handling.
All settings, including translations, are correctly displayed and managed.
Obsolete fields (groupID, label, setting_type) are removed from the codebase.
Additional Notes
Ensure that the transition to a static approach does not introduce new issues or confusion.
Consider any necessary adjustments to other parts of the application that interact with SettingsDialog.
Please review and provide feedback or additional suggestions for the proposed changes.
