Or, all configuration files could use a binary format, and only one tool to
edit them all. There could be advantages, like being impossible to make
syntax mistakes, and with some work, the universal config file editor (COFEE
8^) could provide a tree structure to see settings for all programs, swap
them quickly for testing purposes, take care to notify applications that use
them, and functions to copy and paste blocks, automate backups and the like.
Now, if someone thinks I'm talking Windows registry here, perhaps that's the
idea, only better. What do you think?
See ya!
