Hi Mark, The .ini file stores all Spyder settings. When Spyder is started for the very first time (or if the .ini file was removed), this configuration file is generated with default settings (with default values hard-coded all around Spyder's code) - that's why this file is not in the GoogleCode source repository. During the session and after closing the application, user settings are also stored in it. On next startup, the application read the contents of this file and apply the stored settings.
Removing the configuration file forces Spyder to regenerate it from scratch (resetting all application parameters to defaults).
