It would be nice to have a message appear after package installation: 'A new preferences has been added , would you like to review them now' and if user answers yes - show him only those which is added.
I'm not sure it is a good idea to change something in package installation.
Its just a convenience measure. Say, if i just installed new package, i'd like to know if there any preferences i can play with.
Preferences have to remain as simple as possible. sure. But this is more about integration with Pharo as a consistent dev environment, which should show nice and friendly messages to user. You can keep preferences package clean, but make a separate one, like Pharo-Preferences-integration, where this stuff will live.
I don't know if there's exists a system-wide event, like 'new package just installed', then any who willing to hook into it could react on such event.
The preference tool can offer a way to view preferences by package.
Yes, this would be nice to group/filter preferences by package.
also, for unification - i think it is fine to treat an author settings (initials) as preference. Then if you submit any code - system could check if this preference is set and request it to be filled.
yes , one can have also fonts, display depth, display color, display gradient in. So, what about Settings or Parameters as a package name instead of Preferences ?
don't see real difference..
