expose the ability to hide the temperature units of the sensors about mate-sensors-applet HOT 11 CLOSED

https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-sensors-applet/blob/master/sensors-applet/active-sensor.c#L589

I can't find the gsettings key, where is it?

If I set the var hide_units to true on active-sensor.c, it works

I think it is a good idea to put a checkbox on preferences

I don't think there is a gsettings key for it, btw. i didn't find them.

I saw this:

http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/docs:mate-sensors-applet

Hide Units

The units for sensor values can also be hidden if desired by setting the boolean value /apps/sensors-applet/hide-units within the user's MateConf database. This can be achieved by the following command, where the value is specified as either true or false and is specified as the last parameter. In this case is the units will be hidden (the value is set to true):

mateconftool-2 -s /apps/sensors-applet/hide-units -t bool true

These values can also be set using the Configuration Editor.

mate-sensors-applet was migrated to gsettings with this commit: fbb7e89

from mate-sensors-applet.

more info:
in CLI:
gsettings list-relocatable-schemas
found org.mate.sensors-applet.sensor

http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/docs:gsettings

use d-conf editor to find the right path (object)
org/mate/panel/objects/object-2

get current setting
gsettings get org.mate.sensors-applet:/org/mate/panel/objects/object_2/ hide-units
(should return false)

set hide-units
gsettings set org.mate.sensors-applet:/org/mate/panel/objects/object_2/ hide-units true

restart -> not working

after applying the pull request changes:

I got the CLI wrong, here are the right ones:
gsettings get org.mate.sensors-applet:/org/mate/panel/objects/object-16/prefs/ hide-units
gsettings set org.mate.sensors-applet:/org/mate/panel/objects/object-16/prefs/ hide-units true
gsettings set org.mate.sensors-applet:/org/mate/panel/objects/object-16/prefs/ hide-units false

These work, display changes accordingly. No restart required.
It is 16, bc I have removed the '2' msa, and added a new one to the mate-panel.
(The underscore was wrong and I needed to add the prefs/ as found in d-conf editor.)

OK, so I have just checked. These CLI commands work even without the pull request changes, which makes me believe, that they have been working since the gsettings commit. (2012. Dec.)

from mate-sensors-applet.

Ok, something like this works

gsettings set org.mate.sensors-applet:/org/mate/panel/objects/object-26/prefs/ hide-units true

But the hide-unit key exists only in dconf-editor after i set it via cli.
So, this isn't very user friendly and i'd like to see the setting in preferences.
Also the key is marked with 'No scheme found` in dconf-editor for some reason.
Looks like the implementation of the key is a bit worse.

yeaaah...
see #52
That is probably bc the schema is a relocatable one.

All this keys you will see only in dconf-editor if you set them in preferences or via cli.

Not sure it's because a relocatable one.
Ie. clock-applet ships also some keys in dconf-editor prefs folder after installation.
Maybe @monsta can enlighten us about gsettings/glib stuff in m-s-a?

from mate-sensors-applet.

No I meant, 'No schema' shows up in d-conf, bc the schema is relocatable.

That is what you mean, right?
(this is the clock-applet)

But you made a good point!
clock-applet prefs are visible
That just means, that I (or sy else) have to check, why the options don't show up.
Maybe we won't need the PR after all.

https://github.com/GNOME/dconf-editor/blob/master/editor/registry-info.ui
search for 'No schema available'
it says
"No schema available. Dconf Editor can’t find a schema associated with this key. The application that installed this key may have been removed, may have stop the use of this key, or may use a relocatable schema for defining its keys."

about being able to edit configuration not set before
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755925
It is a relocatable schema problem after all. It may be fixed one day...

INFO
This lists all keys:
gsettings list-recursively org.mate.sensors-applet:/org/mate/panel/objects/object-16/prefs/

Well, after some searching, these relocatable schemas seem to be a very stupid construct...
