Record preference settings for easier future rebuilds
Authored by: voldenuit on Dec 31, '04 07:56:57AM

I would -in a friendly way- second the opinion of those who said early on, that "hinting" to screenshoot pref-dialogs rather than backing up the pref-files once you've set them up the way you want, is probably not a hint at all.
Short of taking notes with pen and paper, I would have a hard time to figure out a clumsier method.

And stating that it is +way+ below the usually extremely high level of sophistication and usefulness is no more than constructive criticism and I am sure that Rob would be the first to say that feedback is helpful to keep the hints as good as they are.

For the sake of peace and harmony, a paragraph dealing with the question how productive applications, that tend to clobber their preferences often enough to warrant such a backup, are anyway, has been omitted.
