yo, sorry to drop in. let me just add a little note about the state saving of netpd: it turned out, that it was a mistake to cover both tasks, collecting/setting states and reading/writing data from/to files, in the same system. some people got frustrated, because this system didn't allow them to save their presets in the way/format they wanted. we decided to redo all the state saving stuff and just skip file IO handling part, so that people can choose themselves, what they are going to do with this data. for flexibility's sake, i think the route that SSSAD is following totally makes sense, at least in my opinion.
Interesting. I shall have another look at netpd's state handling again, maybe we can unify our approaches.
those are actually only plans and most likely not going to be implemented until i will have finished school (next summer), except if someone else wants to do the work, of course. please don't look at it right now ;-). unifying approaches is definitely a good idea. i will certainly have a closer look at SSSAD, before i start. i think, an important advantage of unifying approaches is that backends could be used for both systems.
