read command parameters from config sections #240
Conversation

When this gets merged I suggest cutting a 0.6.1 release, since a fully working config file is definitely a worthy bugfix to push to users. Don't forget to bump the version number. |

I would probably separate the two possibilities a bit stronger. Maybe a comma (,) or (en‐)hyphen (–) before the or?

As in, '"XDG...", or "HOME" if'?

Shouldn't this be INI? There's nothing Python specific about the configuration file, just standard INI file syntax, no?

I was trying to figure out what format would be appropriate and gave up after some searching through github's massive file-type highlighting database.

Joe, please don't push changes to my personal development branches-- I'll rebase onto master while the PR is still open. I'm not even sure how you had the permissions to push to my personal repository... |
Sorry, did that with best intentions (to solve a merge conflict).
I haven't done anything fancy at all: just used GitHub's website. In this discussion I found a "resolve conflicts" button which, after being pressed, opened a file editor showing the file affected by the conflict: then I edited it to solve the conflict. Finally GitHub asked me to merge the aforementioned change (which I did; that went to your fork). To be frank that's something which left me surprised too. |

Yeah it's a reasonable thing to do in general, it just bugs me to have someone pushing to my personal repo (because the way I find out is by having a |

I think this line has a typo: newline-deliniated -> newline-delineated.

Btw, re: committing to branches, you, @RecursiveForest, should see an option to disallow this—both when creating the PR to begin with, but also after the PR has been made. See https://help.github.com/articles/allowing-changes-to-a-pull-request-branch-created-from-a-fork/ for one way to toggle this repository/fork-wide. I couldn't find information about the per-PR option, but if you look for "Allow edits from maintainers." on this PR you should find a checkbox. There should be one at the time of PR creation too, but I can't remember for sure right now. |
|
Yeah there is at PR creation time. |
|
If it's completed, I'd like to merge it. 😉 |
|
I don't think any changes have been requested and both Freso and Merlijn have signed off, so I'd say go for it. |

Note that configuration sections now begin with
whipperinstead ofripto correspond to their command line invocation. e.g.,whipper cd ripoptions go into section[whipper.cd.rip],whipper drive analyzeinto[whipper.drive.analyze], etc.
