Re: [Stellarium-pubdevel] isolate selected flags / pick flag

[Matthew G. <mat...@gm...>]

Maybe for new versions, we should read "pick" if it exists, else "isolate", 
and when the reading is done, delete the "pick" key if one exists, and only 
save "isolate".

This way old .ini files will be quietly "upgraded".  It's simple to 
implement, but I don't know if it's a good idea from a usability point of 
view - it could confuse people.  What do you think?
