I wasn't aware that .ini was deprecated by Microsoft. What's
their
touted replacement for it?
XML
Also, I know that there are applications out there that use the
.ini
format, even though they aren't specific to Windows. To choose
a random
example, the Opera web browser (I use the Linux version, and
its config
file is in .ini format).
Yep, I can not say it is Windows specific either. It may not be a
format recommended, but nor is csv. ini files allow for nice key
value pairs, like many conf files in linux.
Another example is git.
So I think this might be something useful to have in Phobos.
Just my
$0.02.
Agreed.
