All application and module settings are stored in a one big GwyContainer which can be obtained by gwy_app_settings_get(). Then you can use GwyContainer functions to get and save settings.
The rest of the setting manipulating functions is normally useful only in main application.
GwyContainer* gwy_app_settings_get (void);
Gets the Gwyddion settings.
The settings are a GwyContainer automatically loaded at program startup and saved ad its exit. For storing persistent module data you should use "/module/YOUR_MODULE_NAME/" prefix.
| Returns : | The settings as a GwyContainer. |
void gwy_app_settings_free (void);
Frees Gwyddion settings.
Should not be called only by main application.
gboolean gwy_app_settings_save (const gchar *filename);
Saves the settings.
Probably useful only in the application.
Since 1.2 it saves settings in human-readable format. Use gwy_app_settings_save_bin() if you specifically require the old binary dump format.
| filename : | A filename to save the settings to. |
| Returns : | Whether it succeeded. |
gboolean gwy_app_settings_save_text (const gchar *filename);
gwy_app_settings_save_text is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Saves the settings in human-readable text format.
Probably useful only in the application. Use gwy_app_settings_get_settings_filename() to obtain a suitable default filename.
| filename : | A filename to save the settings to. |
| Returns : | Whether it succeeded. |
Since 1.2.
gboolean gwy_app_settings_save_bin (const gchar *filename);
gwy_app_settings_save_bin is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Saves the settings in old binary dump format.
Do NOT use any more.
| filename : | A filename to save the settings to. |
| Returns : | Whether it succeeded. |
gboolean gwy_app_settings_load (const gchar *filename);
Loads the old binary-dump config.
Probably useful only in the application.
Since 1.2 no longer tries to create the parent directory when it doesn't exist, and loads the human-readable (text) format.
| filename : | A filename to read the config from. |
| Returns : | Whether it succeeded. In either case you can call gwy_app_settings_get() then to obtain either the loaded settings or the old ones (if failed), or an empty GwyContainer. |
gboolean gwy_app_settings_load_text (const gchar *filename);
gwy_app_settings_load_text is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Loads the human-readable settings file.
Probably useful only in the application.
| filename : | A filename to read the config from. |
| Returns : | Whether it succeeded. In either case you can call gwy_app_settings_get() then to obtain either the loaded settings or the old ones (if failed), or an empty GwyContainer. |
Since 1.2.
gboolean gwy_app_settings_load_bin (const gchar *filename);
gwy_app_settings_load_bin is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Loads the old binary-dump config.
Probably useful only in the application, and even there only for compatibility. Do NOT use binary configs.
| filename : | A filename to read the config from. |
| Returns : | Whether it succeeded. In either case you can call gwy_app_settings_get() then to obtain either the loaded settings or the old ones (if failed), or an empty GwyContainer. |
Since 1.2.
gboolean gwy_app_settings_create_config_dir (void);
Create gwyddion config directory.
| Returns : | Whether it succeeded (also returns TRUE if the directory already exists). Since 1.3 it also creates user module directories (that themselves exist since 1.3). |
Since 1.2.
gchar** gwy_app_settings_get_module_dirs (void);
Returns a list of directories to search modules in.
| Returns : | The list of module directories as a newly allocated array of newly allocated strings, to be freed with g_str_freev() when not longer needed. |
gchar* gwy_app_settings_get_config_filename (void);
Returns a suitable (binary) configuration file name.
Note binary config is deprecated now.
| Returns : | The file name as a newly allocated string. |
gchar* gwy_app_settings_get_settings_filename (void);
Returns a suitable human-readable settings file name.
| Returns : | The file name as a newly allocated string. |
Since 1.2.
gchar* gwy_app_settings_get_log_filename (void);
Returns a suitable log file name.
| Returns : | The file name as a newly allocated string. |
gchar* gwy_app_settings_get_recent_file_list_filename (void);
Returns a suitable recent file list file name.
| Returns : | The file name as a newly allocated string. |
Since 1.5.
