I'm in favour of this, as it allows some (future) improvements: - hidden settings could be edited by a plugin that can use the grouping for displaying purposes - the same way could a settings plugin for Rockbox Utility work. - it makes the settings more organized ;-) As for the compatibility / updating issues you mentioned this could simply be done by using group prefixes while keeping the old names and ignoring the prefix when reading them (was this what you were referring to as "dummy grouping"?) Using ini-file like groups doesn't look like an improvement to me as the files afterwards don't have the same syntax as ini-files (if they had it would be rather easy to handle for Rockbox Utility, but with a prefix.setting: value would be quite easy too). - Dominik
