[Qgis-developer] Housekeeping in the (Qgs)Settings

[Alessandro Pasotti]

Hi,

the current keys naming for the settings is not very consistent, what do
you guys think about cleaning it a bit?

I was thinking at:

1. adding an 'app' section to QgsSettings::Section enum, to store
namespaced settings for the application
2. remove the '/' at the beginning of the keys (it's completely unuseful)
3. enforce namespacing with the use of Sections on all keys used in the
'/src/*' folders

This is a quick grep|sort|uniq of the setting keys:
