Follow-up Comment #13, bug #55855 (project octave): Ok, I see I was reading the XDG_CONFIG_HOME thing backwards. I think it would help to comment that, something like "Look for settings in the legacy qt-settings file, but only if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set". That would help explain why settings may not migrate for some particular user. For the copying keys, I was really looking for something like "m_default_settings->merge (other_qsettings_object)", but there doesn't seem to be any method for copying or merging one QSettings into another. I thought that would be safer than directly editing the file on disk. How safe is QSettings when the .ini file is changed under it? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55855> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
