My understanding is that local.ini is that generated.ini. Ideally, we'd track which config setting came from which file and write to the appropriate "local" counterpart, but I'm not willing to write the necessary code for that. I'm willing to patch the read order to make sure changes get written to local.ini however. Cheers Jan --
