RFC: DiscFerret configuration files

Philip Pemberton wrote: How much of that config is likely to change on a regular basis, and how much of it is a case of "set it once then forget about it" (modulo an occasional tweak)? I'm sure Lua's great and everything - but is it overkill for something like this? For anyone not familiar with the language, won't they spend far longer learning it than they would have done simply editing lines in a text file? My assumption - quite possibly incorrect - is that most folk will have several different drives hooked up to the discferret; yes there'll be some commonality in drive entries, but won't a lot of the parameters be set on a per-drive basis? For configs that are very dynamic and involve a lot of repetition, a powerful scripting language might be sensible - but does that fit this particular situation? cheers Jules
