[Notion-general] Handling changes in the default configuration

[Arnout E. <ar...@bz...>]

Hello,

I think a good out-of-the-box experience (i.e. good default settings) is
hugely important.
On the other hand, a stable, hassle-free upgrade path for existing users is
equally essential.

As an example, Dima recently contributed an option to only update the
focuslist when a window has had the focus for some time
('focuslist_insert_delay'). We've left this feature 'off' by default in
order not to affect existing users, but in fact this seems like something
most users would benefit from.

Is anyone aware of any applications that solve this tension gracefully?
I.e. by prompting users on upgrade, perhaps telling them what changed and
asking them whether they want to accept that change in their configuration?

I can imagine some interesting approaches, but would like to learn from
what others are already doing, too.


Kind regards,

Arnout
