My initial thought was to add this preference to the top-level 'User Interface' pane, but its already pretty crowded there and I wasn't sure if it really belonged there anyway. I always thought the RTP player group with one item in it looked a bit odd. I don't know what other preferences may be added there - I suppose options relating to codec plugins might belong there one day. Taps that have options are currently configured using controls within the windows themselves, e.g. 'Name Resolution' or 'Limit to Display Filter' checkboxes. I suppose 'Name Resolution' is common to several different tap windows, and a common default for all taps could be added, but the general 'Name Resolution' preference setting is likely to be a good default.here (not sure if this is being done - I very seldom use name resolution). Would renaming 'Taps/Statistics' to 'Statistics' help? At least this matches the menu item under which all of the affected windows are launched. Or can someone think of a better organisation?
