Code review comment for lp://staging/~robert-ancell/onboard/bug-982699

Thank you. Yes we would have to migrate the old settings. Snippets in particular, but other stuff, like scanner settings, would be annoying to lose too. There are quit a lot of keys overall, it's probably best to just recursively copy them all.

AFAIK there is no official plan in place for GIO to handle this, but for the majority of installations we can probably pull the old data from dconf. At least this is how I did it before on a smaller scale, see migrate_dconf_value calls in Config.py. migrate_dconf_value doesn't handle a lot of data types yet though.

If you'd like to do this, that would be great, but let's wait until we know what exactly to do, if and where to move to.
