Dear Victor, Thanks for your first try to improve the preferences. In fact, we rather planned to develop a preferences dialogue, with tabs for the different option groups (plus explanations). On the other hand, one global preferences file should be fine for the moment; I do not think that we need the far-going kind of granularity that you propose. That said: being able to save the preferences to some user-specified file would probably be nice.
