Between users : > and maybe also different computers. : : In which case it would appear to make more sense to create commands : for exporting grouped settings, rather than for maintaining them in : separated form. It sounds good to have, but the exporting command could maybe just as well be the command that splits of a part of the settings. There are more benefits with split settings. It could maybe makes it more easy to test different configs for example. I believe this is a kind of issue that comes up when a graphic user interface is introduced. It is complicated and I guess that this issue have to be around for a while to get "ripe". - Lennart
