The format must support tree-like structures. From improving the current format we will get either something similar to XML (and IMO it is better to use real XML then) or something ugly, like: layout1.sidebar1.InfoPane1.title="Basic Exif" layout1.sidebar1.InfoPane1.InfoEntry1.title="Lens" layout1.sidebar1.InfoPane1.InfoEntry1.key="formatted.lens" layout1.sidebar1.InfoPane1.InfoEntry2.title="ISO" ...
