| I’ve also considered if there should be some type of hierarchical structure. Like for example, subsystems could register prefixes like “gtk-” with the system, and then the system passes them the preferences with that prefix. With the function calling system, I don’t think this is necessary. Although it is a good idea for subsystems to use such a prefix to make editing the files easier. | I’ve also considered if there should be some type of hierarchical structure.

| The pointer is probably often going to be the item that should be populated with the preference value, but doesn’t have to be. It could be the general preferences structure, for example, if there’s more than one parameter that needs to be updated. | The pointer is probably often going to be the item that should be populated with the preference value, but doesn’t have to be.

This means that all preferences need to be such that changing them at any given moment doesn’t lead to disaster. However, this model also provides the flexibility that, if there isn’t such a preference, it can specify its own handler function which could take care of any of the necessary tasks to enact the change. |
