Description

Is it an idea to store all the settings variables in a file? Now we use navit.xml mostly for layout and design, but also for settings some variables. If we put those variables in a second file (settings.xml/txt) you can easaly save settings and. Now a lot of variables are from source.

If you use gui_internal, navit reads commands from gui_internal.txt on start up. It even stores some settings made in internal gui, into that file.

Pleaase clarify your suggestion.

Only thing that is stored right now is the active layout. Would be nice to have more "options" that can be saved.

some sugestions:

  • Save current state at quit so Navit launches with same settings as last exit.
  • 2d/3d
  • Day/night
  • Zoomlevel
  • Active (map)layers
  • Define zoomlevels-speed for auto_zoom

I short: Use navit.xml for layout and core settings, use gui_internal for (more)"custom" settings.
