Talk:Applet Preferences Dialog

From AWN Wiki

I am having trouble understanding the third argument. Could examples be provided for each case:

- showPref A B A
- showPref A B B
- showPref A B C

In other words, where the applet name is the same as the first or second, and where it is neither?

Several applets only use timestamp based naming conventions where the need is for multiple separately configured applets... stacks for example.

Other applets use a timestamp based approach where they append the timestamp to their applet name.

One applet (webapplet) uses both a timestamp based approach plus using a baseconf.

It is convention that separate (timestamped) instances are not needed then the applet will name based on their applet name... but this is just a convention.

An example of the first one would be shinyswitcher. instance=shinyswitcher, baseconf=<nil>, name=shinyswitcher

An example of the second situation would be using this with stacks (assuming it was converted config client): instance=<a timestamp> baseconf=<nil> name=stacks
