Hi,
Ideally there could be one single source for all the settings - easily
to translate and also with all the metadata necessary to build the
options dialogue (both in its current GUI and with the tree widget).
Ideally, the search functionality would work with both the traditional
GUI and the tree view.
I would be willing to work on a german/english translation and on
adding tags for a "fuzzy search" but unfortunately don't know enough how
to integrate such search functionality and the new tree view idea.

Hi,
See my reply inline.
Where do you get the list of properties from? Could tags and
descriptive
text be added to these settings?
Actually they are read from the settings file / registry by
QSettings.
So anything not in the user's setting does not show up.
ok
Anything more complex such as you mention would require a csv or
xml
file with description and tags for each settings key.
A csv file would be easier to write and maintain, but an xml file
would be easier to parse I guess. Unless someone can point me to
a handy xml editor or csv-to-xml tool.
Ok - we would also need multi-language titles and tags and it should
be
easily translatable. Can we re-use some existing file for that
purpose
and extend it with the tags for the fuzzy search?
Actually looking at the existing code, it's based on QTreeWidget so
any searching functionality would require re-writing it with a
QTreeView and model, a bit more involved.
I have made some adjustments to the code at [1] (to add support for
boll, int and double types), I was wondering if I should make a pull
request or merge it as it is so other devs can have a look?

Another thing that would be nice would be the possible values that
a
setting can take, in a dictionnary (key=value pairs) style.
(e.g. 0="value1";1="value2")
yes - it should also be possible to manually add/change settings
that
one could read/write per python script.
