Also keep in mind most debug preferences were written by coders who want to provide the functionality to debug features and provide QA with the tools to test features. The debug options themselves often are not formalized / well tested / well supported.
This would be providing more formal support for untested features. Certainly there's an argument that some specific options have been around long enough and are stable enough that they should be upgraded to supported options. We've moved a few of these into the advanced and develop menus. There are multiple classes of debug options here: some that are stable and would do better with bigger visibility, some that are incredibly useful but require more debugging and QA time to be upgraded, and some that probably aren't useful enough to justify the effort. -Nyx On 01/24/2011 01:05 PM, Jonathan Welch wrote: > There are approximately 1,100 entries in settings.xml, which is the > list you see in the Debug Settings floater (perhaps it should be > renamed to just Settings).
