I think it should work like the parser, i.e. use the default setting when there isn't a section specific setting. However, that is not the way it works today -- any setting not found in the section will be set to a "default" value but not the one from DEFAULT ;-) Anyway, the current desktop code wouldn't be able to separate the two values, e.g. the write_configuration function writes *all* values to the section whether it was from the section or not (i.e. a value from DEFAULT.) Also, since a new section would get its initial values from the DEFAULT section it could be difficult to separate them. > What implementation would fit you best--A second button at the end > of the local file dialog (so both browse and edit buttons)? I don't have an opinion about how it should look -- I just want the feature ;-) Pick whatever solution you think looks best. > This enough, or do also need an open/save on the editor itself. I don't see a need for such a feature... BTW, I will add my changes to the desktop code (and also some viewer changes) on Sunday evening. /Mike
