Hi Mik, if you're not using Condacam I don't think it is very likely this setting will do anything useful for you.

It's not so much the programming for the UI that bothers me, it's more about having a gigantic amount of UI being harder to use.

Some options may only be useful to just one person. For something like that it's not good for all users to pay the price of having a more difficult UI to navigate through.

If I were to require that every single setting must have some UI for it in the Options dialog, it would probably mean that I would have to avoid putting in settings that only helped out one single person.

If I see a pattern start to develop with the setting being needed by more people, then that's when I would want to set up UI for it in Options.

This is one of the ways to help avoid the problem of "bloat" with a program getting more and more difficult to use over time simply by having more stuff jammed into the UI all over.
