[Qt-qml] Settings / State Saving proposal for QML

[João Abecasis]

Ahem,

I have a very basic working prototype for a generic Settings API for QML that I would like to bring up for discussion.

The API is pretty minimal, here's example usage:

    Rectangle {
        id: main
        height: 480
        width: 640
        color: settings.color

        Settings {
            id: settings
            property string color: "blue"
            property alias height: main.height
            property alias width: main.width
        }
    }
    
I pushed the code to a clone of the Desktop Components repository over on gitorious. There's some further information in the commit message:

    https://qt.gitorious.org/~biochimia/qt-components/biochimias-desktop/commit/c1ac32929065f24783f4d254d1786dce8202b274

While this needs further refinement and exploration (e.g., ignore the fact that it is using QSettings underneath ;-), what do people around here think of this approach?

Cheers,


João
