Dear Christian, I fear that this minted issue is a very well constructed case. At the moment there is no way you can risk something if not manually going through changing preferences. On the contrary, other features simply require a left click with the mouse to cause danger. It is really surprising that these features are not considered harmful while minted support is. But I am not surprised, because these are called FUD strategies and have always been used to muddy the waters and confound people. -- Enrico
