Multi-user support #14

Closed jacobpalm closed 6 years ago

jacobpalm commented 6 years ago

Simple multi-user support. Something where a use can be picked at launch, and with separate costa.cfg and desklink.dat.

If there's only one user, bypass user selection screen and select default.

No passwords - this is not a security feature, only a way to allow personal customizations of the GUI.

Most config files, like file associations, should remain global.

Status: Code now fully supports multiple profiles, and a profile selection window is shown when Costa is launched.

What remains to be done is implement the "Edit profile" functionality.

jacobpalm commented 6 years ago

"Edit profile" dialog implemented, needs some testing before release.

Also, a setting to automatically use last used profile should be implemented, as well as the possibility to switch profile after Costa has been started.

Icons suitable for user profiles would also be a nice touch - a girl, a boy, a man, a woman, a familiy - those sort of icons

jacobpalm commented 6 years ago

All code for this feature has been submitted - just a few icons to add and we're ready to go.
