Mainmenu

Rework of main page. Added Button, but without function yet.

If we can't think of a killer function behind this new button we can always make it the "About" button.

[fuchsmich]

This, or "saved playlists" would be a good default.

Just tested on my tablet, about button works fine.

I'm starting to transfer settings from c++ to qml. Should I think about how to transfer settings from old to new location, or do we just tell the user to reconfigure his app? There's now easy solution for automatic transfer, which comes to my mind yet.

Are you talking about /home/nemo/.config/harbour-smpc/harbour-smpc.conf? That wouldn't need a new location would it?

[fuchsmich]

That's the location, which qt uses natively. But Sailfish uses dconf, which wasn't available back then. I'd like to use the new approach, because it's much easier to maintain.

[a-dekker]

As far as I remember dconf was available from the beginning, but I think you are talking about the import of Nemo.Configuration in qml.

I still use the conf file most of the time in qml. For that, I use a simple wrapper, see for example https://github.com/a-dekker/acid-pass/blob/master/src/settings.cpp

The use is pretty much like in c++: https://github.com/a-dekker/acid-pass/blob/master/qml/pages/PasswordPage.qml#L32

That would avoid the need for migration settings, but if you are strongly in favor of dconf settings I wouldn't mind.

[fuchsmich]

I like the implementation of Nemo.Configuration. You bind the value to a property

someProperty: settings.value

and somewhere else in the app you change the setting

settings.value = "cooool"

and settings.value gets saved and someProperty is updated as well.

[fuchsmich]

I guess you are right, we should stay with QSettings.

Will close this, as parts of this pull request are merged and further development on this draft is stopped.
