	Has the preference file moved again? by Thomas Worthington-4 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message The Alt key has stopped working again just recently but the mapalt code seems intact. The last time this happened it was because the default location of the preference file had changed; has that happened again or do I need to start digging through the code?

The consensus (including pjrm and scislac) was that we should change this now, before we release with a version with this incorrect location that then needs to be maintained in parallel. A user note was made on the list just after it happened, but we probably should be more explicit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Inkscape-devel mailing list Inkscape-devel@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel

Was there any consensus that changing location should also lead to automatic copying of existing data like preferences, custom templates and scripts to a new location? :) Or are we dealing with "clean mind" here? :) Alexandre ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Inkscape-devel mailing list Inkscape-devel@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel

Not that I think it's a huge deal, but I see no where that would imply this is "incorrect". http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/index.html Personally, I think that the English language is pretty clear that proper nouns should have uppercased first characters :) --Ted ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Inkscape-devel mailing list Inkscape-devel@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel signature.asc (204 bytes) Download Attachment

One the few linux boxen I've checked, they're mainly all lower case. The lone exception on my main Ubuntu box is "Trolltech"... but I will try to avoid rising to the bait on that one. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Inkscape-devel mailing list Inkscape-devel@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-devel

We really need to come to a final decision on this ASAP. Upper or lower? I personally think lower is more appropriate because it then is just a change in the preferences directory location, instead of the location AND the name of the prefs dir. Additionally it really does seem that lowercase directory naming is common practice most open source apps I've run across (on linux). It seems like we have 2 votes for one way (Jon & I), and 2 for the other (Bulia & Ted)... anyone else care to chime in? Cheers, Josh P.S. I have something time sensitive I'm working on where having this finalized would be greatly useful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Are you an open source citizen?

I really have no opinion either way - it's just that I assumed that it was done by mistake, that's why I asked to revert it. If it's intentional, I can live with that :) -- bulia byak Inkscape.

Of those dozen, only one is in capital. That's the Trolltech one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Are you an open source citizen?
