As far as I'm concerned, yes. It's easier to add things to the config file than to the GUI. If added to the GUI, most have to be added to the config file saving/restoring as well anyway. It's just that the GUI is hard to deal with at present as it's all hand-coded. > For example, I'd like to see the GNIS levels configurable at a level > higher than editing source code.

Or create new GNIS files somehow? I expect it won't be long until we get into Xastir-2 discussions again, at which point we can start fighting over cool things like which back-end database(s) to support, which widget sets to support, etc. Or we can all break into separate groups and duke these things out in separate sessions. Maybe I should do some searches over the weekend, pull out some good previous discussions, and either repost them or put them up on the web somewhere (a Wiki page or three perhaps?) and we can start thinking about what we want in the future. -- Curt, WE7U.
