[Feature Request] make "custom places" as a list #4

Closed highwindmx closed 9 years ago

highwindmx commented 10 years ago

Why I need this:

  1. custom showing name;
  2. more easily manage long path;
  3. easy to backup?

I would love to implement it in this way, however, the settings API doesn't currently support trees, and I would rather wait until the settings API can handle this than separate the settings by building my own tool (and make configuration more difficult and confusing). It does now support multi-line textboxes, so I suppose I could switch to that so you could have more room. Also, you can import and export applet settings in the 'configure' page in cinnamon settings. (The top right button opens a menu with several options like that.)

@collinss ，thanks and good improvement. what I thought was : in setting the "custom place" is a button and click this button open a file then I can input several names and path in a python dictionary way， while your way seems more effective.

The custom menu fields are now multi-line and you can set a custom name and separate paths with a comma or new-line. I'm considering this implemented as there is really not much I can do unless the API is expanded.
