Migration request from IBusConfig to GSettings

[fujiwarat]

ibus-m17n uses IBusConfig and I'd ask to migrate it to GSettings and delete IBusConfig.

E.g. src/setup.c

    dialog->section = g_strdup_printf ("org.freedesktop.ibus.engine.m17n.%s.%s",
                                       msymbol_name (lang),
                                       msymbol_name (name));
    dialog->settings = g_settings_new (dialog->section);


static void
load_color (GSettings *settings,
                   GtkToggleButton *togglebutton,
                   GtkColorButton *colorbutton,
                   const gchar       *name,
                   guint                   defcol)
{
    value = g_settings_get_value (settings, name);
...
...
}

Do I need to create schema files for all the input methods?

[fujiwarat]

My understanding is, the differences in IME are MIM files only and I think all IME can refer the same schema file.
E.g. ibus-anthy has one schem file which includes several schemas; org.freedesktop.ibus.engine.anthy.common, org.freedesktop.ibus.engine.anthy.romaji-typing-rule, org.freedesktop.ibus.engine.anthy.shortcut.
I guess you can create all schemas of org.freedesktop.ibus.engine.m17n.$lang.$name in org.freedesktop.ibus.engine.m17n.gschema.xml file.

or you can rewrite the current structure. E.g.

GSettings *settings = g_settings_new ("org.freedesktop.ibus.engine.m17n");
gchar *key = "preedit-foreground";
gchar *engine_key = g_strdup_printf ("%s:%s", $lang, $name);
GVariantBuilder dict;
g_variant_builder_init (&dict, G_VARIANT_TYPE ("a{ss}"));
g_variant_builder_add (&dict, "ss", engine_key, "yellow");
g_settings_set_value (setting, key, g_variant_builder_end (&dict));

I think this way one key "preedit-foreground" can save all IME's values.
ibus-anthy has the dict format schemas.

Do you have any status?

I tried asking help you on IRC but I could not get your reply.

I'm not sure what you asked but I'm in ibus@freenode
