Kexi/Configuration
< Kexi
Configuration
Configuration requirements define entities of the program(s) that are configurable.
Requirements: good defaults, ie. expected, easy to remeber by user, typical.
Kexi settings are currently (up to 2.4) accessible via kexirc configuration file. No GUI is available.
Formal documentation. Current settings are documented in the source code tree, kexi/doc/dev/settings.txt. There is advantage of having formal notation for settings documentation: they can be used for automatic generation of the handbook page(s), manual page(s), --help messages, What's this and Tool tips in the GUI. All this with less maintenance overhead. So it makes sense to keep the documentation of settings in the version control system.
