lp:~encukou/picard/options-autoui
Now, when a developer wants to add (or remove) configuration options from Picard, the change must be done in two places:
- the code with the list of options (picard/
- the Qt UI file (ui/options_*.ui)
And the pyuic tool must be re-run as well.
Disadvantages of this approach:
- resulting diffs look ugly (the .ui file, and the .py that's autogenerated from it, change depending on the version of PyQt tools, hiding the actial changes)
- the resulting UI is not as clean as it could be (bad tab ordering, different margins/spacing on different pages)
- common code for loading/saving options must be repeated over and over again
- the developer needs extra tools (Qt Designer, pyuic)
So, I've started on a rewrite where all information is right in the list of options, and the UI gets generated from that.
The disadvantage of this approach is that the option list is not as clear as before, but the fact that it's all in one place and easily edited should outweigh that.
