I think that may be sufficient to add section [gal] to .pro file as usual
project setting. In this way you can avoid the next .kicad_pcb format
version change.


I'm not terribly thrilled about that idea. One of the things we have changed over the years is to move board specific settings out of the project file and into the board file. This makes the board file more portable. If you put board configuration information in the project file, you will loose it when
you try to use the board file as a stand alone board. Ultimately, the
project file should only contain settings that have project wide scope. All board and schematic specific configuration should be saved in the appropriate
file.
Is on a kicad roadmap multi-board projecting ? If no, there's no much difference where one board settings are stored, regardlessly of how much work was done…


The idea of a 'Standalone' board design app is puzzling to me. If there is anything in the project file that has project-wide scope, it seems to me that trying to use the pcbnew application without that information would be problematic. Maybe I am missing the concept?
