--novisible_click has no effect #116

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Edit config file to show visible clicks (or set it via the program settings 
menu).
2. Launch key-mon with --novisible_click.
3. Clicks are visibile by default.

This bug has been originally reported in Debian[1]. Since I am the maintainer 
of the package, I am wondering if this is either a deliberate behavior or a bug.

IMO, command line options should override configuration file settings. Rather 
than patch the package in Debian, I would like to know if you agree with my 
point of view, or if you have reasons to support the current behavior.

Yes, command line should override other preferences.  The preferences setup and 
grown organically and has a few warts because of it.

Yeah, I see. Do you think a new release, or at least a patch, might be 
available before June 30th? That is the day Debian will be frozen, it would be 
great to have a fix before it.

The attached patch seems to fix the issue, however, the option and ini parser 
are little bit confusing for me. So, this might have side-effect which I didn't 
see. IIRC, there was an issue about the overriding and a revert was made for 
the options.py.

Needs reviewing and testing.

Fixed in 1.12 by verifying that the parameter is actually passed on the command 
line instead of examining if it's different from default.

I tried the 1.12 tarball, and looks like the issue is still there, unchanged. 
Anybody can confirm that?

Thanks for testing.
I believe I've got all the issues now.

It works great now, thank you!
I will upload the updated package to Debian (and then sync to Ubuntu) today.
