I would like to see considered an xml sidecar file written (prefs toggle is good) with the same file base_name containing something like:
vendor/app_name/parameter_name/value
however is least likely to collide with any other potential use of the sidecar file.
For users that don’t want this sidecar file I presume not a big deal to default it off in Prefs.
For example, in the 04/30 Wolfson webinar, Joel used (understandably based on necessity) a kludgy work-around of putting the param values in the file-name. Ugh.
It would be great to have a better method of storing this data so it can potentially be read and re-used or for reference (documentation) of what settings were used.
