Hi,
Other applications have unified setting centers like firefox when you
enter about:config in the URL bar. But this is in addition to the
settings dialog(s) which is/are still offered. Are you thinking about
something like this? A simple config value editor, like regedit?
Or is the aim of this project a unified config dialog, where plugins
register their own tab (or list entry or whatsoever)? In this case,
would it be a new dialog "Plugin Options" which would act as container
for all options? Or opening up the "Options" dialog for registering
additional tabs? IMO the first one has the drawback of brandmarking
plugins as 3rd-party, not fully integrated, while the second one has
the drawback/risk of cluttering this dialog.
Talking about this, I recently did a similar thing for the vector layer
properties (add the possibility to add a new tab for plugins. POC
implemented in form of layer specific globe settings, not yet merged)
Cheers
Matthias
