I am not quite sure I understand the rationale for not simply including all these config items (settings, macro functions, extra files) in GSAK.ini and as extension of existing functionality with regard to that file. From the perspective of someone coming to this issue without any past knowledge, it must seem very obtuse and complex to have a separate configuration that is mostly just hidden from certain users, but it is not clear why this merits so much complexity when in so many other areas of program development KISS seems to be the guiding principle. In other words, why not simply add another pane in Tools, Options called "other" and have it show when we give the magic handshake? (If you did mention this already, please just point me to the discussion.) |
I have already mentioned the rationale behind the decision to place these options in this file rather than the hand held GUI - from the original post in this thread:

These are the types of features that I believe that the new/average user should not be confused with (or find daunting) and hence they are deliberately somewhat hidden. For this reason I will probably never make this a turn key solution with an elaborate GUI and help system. |
However, those that do want to avail themselves already have a quick and easy method to access them - "Tools=>Open ConfigOther.txt"
