Can you explain why this wouldn't be usable?
Because you will end up with an ever-growing file, that will be a PITA to
deal with. Consider it after 10k+ changes. (yes, I can see that happening.
You know how some people use GUIs) Or 100k. The problem does not happen at
100 lines...
I don't think even 100k lines would be a problem. And there should be a
penalty if someone would have automated settings to be written
permanently.
I can see the solution with a single file with them all in, but it needs to
be able to overwrite them IMHO.
Why? If you want to strip down the file you can just postprocess it.
Either a tool or even a little sed-script could do. And you would
save the records for reference.
+1 for Aidans idea.
