Bug ID: 302927
Severity: wishlist
Version: 4.8.80
Priority: NOR
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
Summary: wish: systemsettings log changes (for use in scripts)
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux
Reporter: kde at richardneill.org
Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Component: general
Product: systemsettings
When configuring KDE systems, there are a *lot* of changes that can be made. It
would be really helpful to be able to re-apply them selectively across multiple
systems,
To this end, I'd like to be able to invoke systemsettings with "--print-cmd"
or similar, so that for every
change that it makes to the underlying files, it prints out a line like this:
kwriteconfig --file XXX --group YYY --key AAA BBB
(ideally prefixed with a comment of the module name and control name)
Then I would go through the settings GUI, spend 3 hours setting it up to taste,
and have a helpful list of commands waiting so that the next time I set up a
new KDE installation, I could just replay the ones I want.
I've used a similar process under gnome (with gconftool) to deploy multiple
similar configurations.
[It would also be useful (though perhaps harder) to support a --export mode,
which would export a list of all the settings that differ from their default
values]
Reproducible: Always
