| Summary | 0013248: choose preferences directory from the command line | ||||
| Description | we have a --prefs argument that seems to point to a preferences file. i gave it a test and it does not seem to be working (correctly). it would be more useful to modify it to point to a directory that (will) contain(s) the scribus preferences. it should work in the same way as scribus works with the .scribus directory in the home. | ||||

if there is an agreement, that this would be a useful change, i'm willing to work on it. it could be useful for kunda's efforts in setting up a regression testing environment. |
|
|
The --prefs command line options works with scribusXXX.rc files which stores scribus preferences. The prefsXXX.xml contains mostly GUI state data. |
|
|
well, it would be nice to see the files to be rename those file to match what their content is :-) scribusXXX.rc to preferencesXXX.xml prefsXXX.xml to ????.xml (sessionXXX.xml?) my goal is to be able to start in a known state (and this might need both a given preferences and session file...). what's the goal of the --prefs command as it is implemented now? |
|
|
+1 on this |
|
|
actually the scribus rc files were supposed to move to the xml file but it didnt all move over. There should only be one file really. |
|
|
how does one start a new prefs file location ? When i just enter a random named prefs file in to the CLI i get Preferences directory /home/user/.scribus-test/ does not exist, aborting. |

|
@cbradney where is the documentation on the --prefs flag ? |
