That wouldn't work, as most users change the exp_level to the highest one. Even the article in the current german magazine C'T states that the first "config" to do is to change the exp_level to the highest one. > 2) introduce a pseudo config option (codec.need_reset) which defaults > to "1", but is set to "0" after the priorities have been set =0. You mean something more like a "local variable", than a config option, as it should be only used for internal use. > Maybe we could combine the two? (only reset if experience_level is low > _and_ need_reset = 1?) What's about a config-migration-path for first time running of the new xine. For this the last config file version should be saved in the config file. Using this you would be able to reset changed options in all future versions, whenever needed. Nikolaus |
