Message #41354
Re: Pcbnew file format
I do have one suggestion. Rather than prefix all of the default
settings with "default_", why not just create a default section and use
tokens without the "default_" prefix. It would be more organized and a
bit less verbose. It would also be a useful place to store other
default settings.
