I don't really like QSettings much, INI is a little too simple, and XML is too verbose for me. IML is, as far as I'm concerned, perfect. I just need to finish the parser :wink:

I may end up using QSettings, but only if I can't find time to finish IML.

One thing I plan to do no mater the format(s) chosen is to make an abstract interface. That way if someone wants, say JSON all you would need to do is make a new back end. Depending on how hard it is I could even make it plugible :geek: I know QT comes with stuff to facilitate this but I don't know if it would work for something like this or not, clearly I need to do some research :)

In any case cam4 comes first and I have little enough time to spend on that as it is

Well I just downloaded the latest source so I can start on the interface :)

I figure if I can write a plug-able interface for loading stat files useing some kind of WRL (Warzone Resource Locator :P ) with the current csv method as the default, different format(s) can be easily added at leisure.
