A few minor changes from debian packaging fun

Open keith-packard opened this issue 8 months ago • 5 comments

I'm packaging this for debian and have a few minor changes that I've made:

  1. Use QSettings(org, app) instead of QSettings(filename). This lets Qt pick how to store settings, rather than storing them in the same directory as the application binary (which doesn't work on a multi-user system).
  2. Use default settings if none were stored. I just used the code in frmsettings.cpp.
  3. Allow any filename on the command line. My gcode files have a lot of random extensions.

Thanks for a really useful app; I'm no longer dependent on a Windows VM to drive my laser and router.

Hello, I have version 1.2b, I don't know anything about computers, but I've read that you're creating some patches or you already have them created .Will your patches also work for version 1.2b?

I don't know; I didn't try applying them to the development version.

I'm updating the NixOS package for Candle. Storing the application settings in the usual place is crucial for packaging Candle.
