[Syncevolution-issues] [Bug 64176] EDS: create new address books with the right configuration

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64176 --- Comment #11 from Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly(a)gmx.de&gt; --- (In reply to comment #9) My expectation is that EDS does "the right thing" by default for each field, without some non-existent entity having to tell it what that is. By all means, let's add overrides for the default behavior in EDS, but let's keep these overrides optional. The overrides would be: - "phonebook" - enable phonebook - "no-phonebook" - disable phonebook - "pinyin" - enable pinyin - "no-pinyin" - disable pinyin And the defaults should be: - use "phonebook" for name fields (and only for name fields) in "de" and "fi" locales - use "pinyin" with Chinese Pinyin and Latin characters mixed (which is *not* the default in ICU) for all strings in Chinese It's quite likely that this knowledgebase will grow over time as more localization experts tell us about the preferences in their country. EDS might not be the best place to store such a knowledgebase, but where else can we put it? By not storing the default in the source config, we can fix the wrong default by upgrading EDS. If we were to put the setting into the config, it would be difficult to change later, because it would be uncertain whether it merely represents the old, incorrect default value or was chosen intentionally. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
