I know. My question is why are we maintaining and even extending a private options storage system that is totally orthogonal to the purpose of managing finances. I think its a waste of time an resources, and Chris it right, it makes it harder for new developers to join gnucash. I had a hard time understanding the options code myself when I first started, and i wouldn't say that I understand more than 50% of it today. I believe that switching to a shared options system like gconf is the way to go. That code is used by multiple applications (17 that I use on an occasional or more frequent basis), is maintained by others, and is already a dependency of gnucash. The only downside I see is the current lack of per data file options. David
