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.
