excluding some settings when saving?

(1/3) > >>

psycho_maniac:
what do you guys think of excluding some settings when you save? really the only settings im talking about is the settings in the quick menu as thats what its for and maybe the volume. what do you think?

Llorean:
If you'd like settings to always reset to a default value on boot, simply use fixed.cfg.

psycho_maniac:
im talking about when switching configles quickly. i suppose i could just take them settings out manually each time i save.

Llorean:
Yes, you should remove values from the config file that you don't want changed.

Many people have a config file for "line out" for example that turns off any sound altering settings (equalizer, bass, treble) and adjusts the volume to 0dB. In these cases, you'd explicitly want the volume saved.

JdGordon:
this is sort of something I've been thinking about doing for a while. you could easily create a plugin which lets you choose which settings to write to a config, the problem is some have cryptic names and because there is no structure in the order of the settings (they follow the order in settings_list.c), and also because there is no translation in plugins (yet) it would be hard to use...

that said, if someone wanted to do it, look at settings_dumper (or something) for how to enumerate the settings from a plugin, and disk tidy for an example of how to do a "checkbox" list
