No.

The beauty of tweaks is that I don't have to care.

There are...

372 instances of tweak in History.txt.
937 keys in XYplorer.ini.
1,802 results for 'tweak' in the forum.
2,080 results on Google for 'tweak site:xyplorer.com/xyfc'.

I chose to tackle number 2, but feel free to pick a different one and go at it...

Indeed this might not be the quickest route, but I feel it will give us the best understanding.

Are you open to cleaning up the tweak comments if we identify the missing ones and create better descriptions?

Or at least sticking to a format, if we come up with one, for future tweaks?

Please?

But as a developer, you obviously know what keys you intended for us as users to modify and which ones we shouldn't touch...all that's being asked is what keys fall into the first group...we can most likely come up with description and usage and such...

I believe that you know the reason why every one of the 900+- keys was created (or may have known at one point) like I did for all variables in my COBOL pgrms...we're just trying to help ourselves and others by identifying those which we can legitimately use as tweaks from those that were never intended as such...and by doing so, it may well help you as well because we can then better reply here to questions without your time, ok?

Hm, don't you have anything better to do? Really, is the weather so bad? This is your life. Don't waste it on tweaks. Go out and play!
