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. Preferences have to remain as simple as possible. The preference tool can offer a way to view 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 ? cheers alain
