TWC's AdvancedOptions allows you to view *all* of the config.options.*
values, but only when you select "show unknown options", which displays
options that don't have a corresponding description text.
However, this interface is very rudimentary, and has usability issues;
e.g., the list of options is sorted alphabetically, so it's very difficult
to identify and configure related settings without knowing exactly which
settings they are and then finding them in a potentially very long list.
However, as you noted, some options are "plugin-type-tweaks" kinda
things....
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#AdvancedOptionsPlugin
adds the ability to extend AdvancedOptions with plugin-supplied content,
either by specifying a source -- a tiddler title or a section reference --
for the options in the plugin's "slice table":
| Options | NameOfTiddlerThatDisplaysOptionsForThisPlugin |
or
| Options | ThisTiddlerTitle##SectionName |
Note: if you include a section named "!Configuration" in your plugin, you
don't need to specify the "Options" slice value. The plugin will
automatically detect the "Configuration" section and use that as a fallback.
To see the results of this plugin, go to look at the bottom of
http://www.tiddlytools.com/#AdvancedOptions (after the standard table of
settings). The plugin-defined settings are automatically gathered together
and embedded using a tabset, where each tab contains the settings for one
plugin.
I think a similar mechanism could be added to TW5... not necessarily the
same manner of display/interface... but the *idea* of showing custom
configuration panels supplied by the plugins themselves.
