The prefs widgets aims to aid with the implementation of
preference/configuration windows/UI elements in Elementary-based
applications (think of Enlightenment configuration dialogs,
elementary_config, etc).
Prefs is a widget that populates its view with widgets
bound to data types (following the instructions of a ".epb" file that
describes a set of items) and handles the storage/restoration of such
data on a configuration file automatically.
There's also the prefs_data handle, which is the one dealing with
user saved data for a given epb defaults set.
The documentation on the new widget is rich (we have examples and even
an EPC reference) and there's a new test entry for it.
I'm blogging about it soon, with screeshots and more details.
Enjoy.
ps.: This is a team work by Murilo Belluzzo, Ricardo de Almeida and me.
