import/export [g|d]conf settings to a file #292

It's more about import/export (in the pref window) because load/save implies that we move away from gconf/dconf which isn't such a great idea. |

Agree |
gsemet
changed the title

What about simply adding |
|
Not sure it will work, conf is stored in gconf |
|
Ah ok, so backing up gconf |
|
i.e. is this correct? BackupRestore |
|
Give a try. I test it next week |
Doesn't work with Ubuntu 18.04 :( |

Guake now use dconf and no more gconf |
|
Nowadays, with dconf, I have be resolved with this: backup_guake () {
dconf dump /apps/guake/ > ${HOME}/Dropbox/backup_of_my_guake_settings
}
restore_guake () {
dconf reset -f /apps/guake/
dconf load /apps/guake/ < ${HOME}/Dropbox/backup_of_my_guake_settings
}... but I guess it isn't a perfect solution yet |

seems legit :) I would love to have it integrated in the preference panel :) |
Tilda was being a bit of a pain. The original reason for switching away from guake was no way to configure as code. Discovered a workaround: Guake/guake#292 (comment) Against tilda: - Using tilda required hacking the desktop file to point to the config we want. - Tilda had to be closed for any config changes made directly to the config file, otherwise would be overwritten when tilda closed. - Tilda didn't have an easy way to switch between a light and dark theme which is important for working at night vs working outside at a cafe.

This should be done by #1517 (using dconf) |
Use case: store settings in a file to easily backup to github repository
