I'm attaching an xls file with an annotated list of "set" elements we have today, taken from lib/src/libset.c (actually there are a few more, but IMO it wouldn't make sense to treat those like the others in this context). Column "group" contains a tentative grouping of variables by subject: 22 variables are way too many to fit in 1 dialog, so I guess we'll have to use a tabbed window (hence the groupings). Some variables (10 out of 22) are already settable through an existing GUI element, so it's just a matter of moving code from one place to another. For the other, I added what GUI element should be used. This is not a complete blueprint like Allin had in mind, but it's a start. Ideally, the list of variables that can be "set" could be kept in an xml file, with a record for each variable and fields like the ones you'll find in the attached spreadsheet, plus more (eg, string to display).
