Use a Config File Instead of Common for Some Settings #5

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
There are several settings in the Common class that I would rather see in a 
config file. Like host names and what not. This will allow them to be changed 
on the fly without needing a recompile.

This is purely for my benefit since all users are morons.

The Common class is gone.

The version data has been abstracted into build time filtering.

The remaining functionality has been parceled out to other classes.

A new settings file has been created. Currently, it contains settings to 
control:

 * The location of the names.txt file.
 * The location of the server_names.txt file.
 * The location of the filter.txt file.
 * The location of the browsers.txt file (contains the names of some common browsers in Linux for handling external links in the chat logs).
 * The maximum number of conversations to display in the main chat window (this may be deprecated in favor of size of all conversations, since with the swapping of strangers after a stranger has disconnected, conversations can be quite long).
 * Keyboard shortcuts.
 * The default view to use (either standard or expert).

Outstanding tasks:

 * Wiring the application to fetch the configured data from the configuration manager.

A separate issue will be written for the creation of a frontend to modify the 
settings.

Setup the configuration for initial settings. The task of adding further 
configuration points will be tacked on to the relevant issue.
