NAME

6       gsettings-data-convert - GConf to GSettings data migration
7

SYNOPSIS

9       gsettings-data-convert [option...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       gsettings-data-convert reads values out of the users GConf database and
13       stores them in GSettings.
14
15       The information about the mapping from GConf keys to GSettings keys is
16       taken from files in /usr/share/GConf/gsettings. Each file in that
17       directory is read as a key file, with sections for each GSettings
18       schema that is being converted. The entries in each section map
19       GSettings keys to paths in the GConf database. Currently,
20       gsettings-data-convert supports all basic GConf types as well as lists
21       of strings and lists of integers.
22
23       A simple example might look like this:
24
25           [org.gnome.fonts]
26           antialiasing = /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/antialiasing
27           dpi = /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/dpi
28           hinting = /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/hinting
29           rgba_order = /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/rgba_order
30
31       If the GSettings schema does not have a fixed path, you must specify
32       the path in the group name, separated by a colon character:
33
34           [org.gnome.fonts:/desktop/gnome/font-rendering/]
35
36       gsettings-data-convert keeps a list of the key files it has already
37       converted, so it is safe to run it repeatedly to handle newly appeared
38       key files. The expected use of this utility is to make each application
39       install a key file for the GConf keys that it wants to be migrated, and
40       run gsettings-data-convert every time a user logs in.

47           Do not make any changes, just report what would be done
48
49       --verbose
50           Show verbose messages
