I'd like to start having a look at how I can organize the preferences for pcbnew, having mostly finished in eeschema. (A few things remain to be tweaked and will probably be done at the same time as pcbnew, to keep things in sync).
The problem of legacy preferences vs GAL preferences needs to be addressed. How do we want to handle that? At this point, I'm not sure what the timeline is for actual removal of legacy - should I wait until we do that? If not, I want to try to merge options as much as possible. There are some things that are duplicated between the two, which I'd like to fix. But the bigger question is: how should we present to the user things that are only available in one or the other? I could simply make sections on the preferences pages: "Legacy canvas only", "OpenGL or Cairo canvas only". That's ugly and makes me cringe, but I can't think of anything better. Two separate, parallel preferences systems like we have right now just won't do.
