[Refactor] Discuss the structure of the test.settings file

Open ferpasri opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Right now, every time we change between protocols user needs to customize all settings again. Because settings are protocol specific.

  1. Maybe divide the test.settings into two different files:
  • main.settings
  • protocol.settings The protocol can be the priority and override the main file.
  1. Maybe add a list, text, or table panel to the GUI that loads all the settings.

Possible idea for settings formatting:

  • Current settings file might contain too much explanatory text (we can reduce text)
  • Plain text may not be suitable for more complicated nested settings structures (e.g., a more advanced abstraction based on types of widgets); a different format, such as YAML or another markup language, could provide more flexibility.
