here: design notes
readme: end-user instructions
Rationale. AKA "why not config files?"
-> unify code to configure uzbl and to accept incoming commands
-> no more code needed for config file parsing/handling
-> runtime changing of configuration
issues
-> new instances (open link etc) need same config/state
solutions?
- serialize all state structs -> some libs available, could work. but:
- binary format not very user friendly
- not that easy (C has no introspection etc)
- iterate over state structs and generate appropriate commands to bring an instance in this state.
- plaintext :)
- user editable
- also useful for saving state if we need to update/shutdown/..
-> all of this is overkill. for now we just decided to live with the fact we pass on '--config' flags,
it's up to the user to tweak his setup so it works.
