Hi,
we have a historically grown common file format and agreement on the range of items for saving/loading defaults from/to GUI and other programs.
I would like to see the range of items extended, namely
- aux settings
- armedtimewarning
- servosettings
What do you think?
How should we address this extending the range of items? Would it be ok, if as a first step the GUI was modified to write/read additional items?
How should/would other programs/apps learn about it?
(From what I understand the file layout was setup to support backwards compatibility. But some import implementations might not?)
Comments?

Re: Defaults MWI Format (DMF) - extend range of items?
I would be happy to change the WinGUI to use a common format for saving settings. I think what we have to agree is the schema dfinition for each settings. Since the file format is XML, parsers simply could ignore items that are not implemented in the given GUI.
If a parameter could be set in the GUI, then it must be in the saved file.
Can somebody take care the schema definition for the setting file ?

This is very good idea. If it be done I will implement it in my app.
Just thinking what will be the best way to save aux settings.
