Define content structure of ".option" files. It should contain information about property mappings and customizer. Yardo, please help us with this task.
Well, the problem with .option file is that it can (should) contain content of more than one .settings file. As such it would have big problems when moving the storage of the file between layers (Tools/Options/<</and move) because we would not know which .settings file to move. I am not sure how to solve this problem. Maybe we will not be able to use .options files at all!?
Petr Hrebejk is working on a declarative specification of components in a customizer.
I think that this issue is obsolete now, as a new Options Dialog will use different architecture. But feel free to change it, if you disagree. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 58412 ***
