The problem with "S => C,F" compared to "S => F" is that you may have saved a set of parameters that does something stupid (e.g. select black on black text for the default font). Being able to load such values and edit them before saving them is very useful. I don't know if "S =>" imply that we actually read the values from the custom-file (e.g. .emacs) or if it just restores the value that was initially read from that file, or the last value that was written by this emacs to that file. If it implies reading from the file, this could be used to load values from a diffent custom-file (to see what they are) before actually using them. > Perhaps we should ask the users which one they prefer. I prefer "S => F" with a message in the echo area telling the user to use "Set All" to apply the values. -- Kim F.
