I just did a little research on what is referenced in settings.xml
(aka debug settings).
I scanned the source code for "gsavedsettings." and then pulled out
the name of what was being accessed.
There are some faults in this approach:
1) some source code lines are split, so with my simple approach
I have been struggling with this on StarLight as well. My design approach was
to incorporate many of the debug settings that people seemed to like while also
keeping a fairly simple approach. The skill seems to be in allocating them
into
a sensible form - so in the end I settled for sub-tabs

Perhaps the experimental/developer-related debug settings should be accessible
from the Developer menu (further removing it from casual users). Then an
'Advanced Preferences' floater could be made available from the Advanced Menu.
This would allow for an effort to seriously streamline the main
Also keep in mind most debug preferences were written by coders who want
to provide the functionality to debug features and provide QA with the
tools to test features. The debug options themselves often are not
formalized / well tested / well supported.
This would be providing more formal suppo
There are approximately 1,100 entries in settings.xml, which is the
list you see in the Debug Settings floater (perhaps it should be
renamed to just Settings). I don't see any practical way of having
all those available in any kind of sane preferences menu system.
It would be good to generate a l
