23 * @short_description: helper interface for element presets
25 * This interface offers methods to query and manipulate parameter preset sets.
26 * A preset is a bunch of property settings, together with meta data and a name.
27 * The name of a preset serves as key for subsequent method calls to manipulate
29 * All instances of one type will share the list of presets. The list is created
30 * on demand, if presets are not used, the list is not created.
32 * The interface comes with a default implementation that serves most plugins.
33 * Wrapper plugins will override most methods to implement support for the
34 * native preset format of those wrapped plugins.
35 * One method that is useful to be overridden is gst_preset_get_property_names().
36 * With that one can control which properties are saved and in which order.
38 * The default implementation supports presets located in a system directory,
39 * application specific directory and in the users home directory. When getting
40 * a list of presets individual presets are read and overlaid in 1) system,
41 * 2) application and 3) user order. Whenever an earlier entry is newer, the
42 * later entries will be updated.
47 * - we need to avoid two instances writing the preset file
48 * -> flock(fileno()), http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~beej/guide/ipc/flock.html
50 * -> better save the new file to a tempfile and then rename?
51 * - we like to know when any other instance makes changes to the keyfile
52 * - then ui can be updated
53 * - and we make sure that we don't lose edits
54 * -> its the same problem actually, once for inside a process, once system-
56 * - can we use a lock inside a names shared memory segment?
58 * - should there be a 'preset-list' property to get the preset list
59 * (and to connect a notify:: to to listen for changes)
60 * we could use gnome_vfs_monitor_add() to monitor the user preset_file.
62 * - should there be a 'preset-name' property so that we can set a preset via
63 * gst-launch, or should we handle this with special syntax in gst-launch:
64 * gst-launch element preset:<preset-name> property=value ...
65 * - this would allow to have preset-bundles too (a preset on bins that
66 * specifies presets for children
