[Qgis-developer] Housekeeping in the (Qgs)Settings

Tue Mar 7 00:38:49 PST 2017

Hi Ale,

yep agreed! And now (while most users do not have real 3.0 
configs/settings) is the only time to do this...
as people will loose all connections etc etc

I would even be ok, to use python style names, so no capitals and use of 
underscores:

/BetterAttributeTable/geometry
becomes
better_attribute_table/geometry

etc etc

Let's clean up :-)

Regards,

Richard
