GUI
Gazebo's graphical interface (not pure Ignition GUI)
help wanted
We accept pull requests!
Desired behavior
We place GUI and server configuration files under
~/.ignition/gazebo
, as explained on these tutorials:The problem is that these files may differ according to Gazebo's version, and if the user has more than one version installed, they may try to load an unsupported config. Ideally, the files should be installed in versioned folders, i.e.:
~/.ignition/gazebo/3/gui.config
~/.ignition/gazebo/4/server.config
And Gazebo should only save and load files from the current version's folder.
Alternatives considered
Instead of version numbers, we could have collection names, i.e.
citadel
,dome
.Implementation suggestion
It would be good to do this for stable releases while keeping backwards compatibility. For example, Gazebo could always look for
~/.ignition/gazebo/gui.config
first, and use that if it exists.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
