Migration request from IBusConfig to GSettings

[fujiwarat]

I'm the maintainer of IBus.
ibus-unikey uses IBusConfig and I'd ask to migrate it to GSettings and delete IBusConfig.

E.g. setup/config_utils.cpp

void read_config(void *data, UnikeyMainSetupOptions* opt)
{
    GSettings *settings_inputmethod = g_settings_new ("org.freedesktop.ibus.engine.unikey");
    if (ibus_unikey_config_get_string (settings, CONFIG_INPUTMETHOD, &str)) {
    }


...

goolean ibus_uinkey_config_get_string (GSettings *settings,
                                                                const gchar *key,
                                                                gchar** result)
{
    GVariant *value = NULL;
    value = g_settings_get_value (settings, key);
    if (value) {
        *result = g_variant_dup_string (value, NULL);
        g_variant_unref (value);
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

Thank you!

[fujiwarat]

Do you have any updates?

[tulequ]

I will try to do it soon, do you have any schedule for the next version?

[fujiwarat]

I have the plan to release 1.6 after the major IMEs migrate to GSettings.
The current status is here:
https://github.com/ibus/ibus/wiki/GSettingsMigration
Some important IMEs do finish the migration yet.

I don't think the status of ibus-unikey prevents ibus 1.6 but it would be great if you could migrate and I'd ask the current status.

Currently, I had done it (locally), you can consider this issue is closed
Now, I just want to refactor/change a lot of things (the code is nearly ten years ago)
So it will take a little time to release new version

[fujiwarat]

Thank you. I'd like to see the changes. Currently setup/dlg_main_setup.cpp uses IBusConfig at least in git master.

I just push it to dev branch, just check there

Thank you.
