Options should be: - thrown away if useless (e.g. don't ask me to enable a feature, I have enabled the module already). - detected automatically whenever possible (and thrown away). - rationally grouped together when they must stay.
How about one more option on that list:
- Hidden, but configurable by admins
I am quite embarrassed by the current pathauto admin settings page.[1]
It is _insanely_ long. But many people have begged to have those features added so I can't just drop features.
IMO part of being a module maintainer is the task to say "no" to requested features if they aren't generally useful.
Fully agreed with Earnie & you. Also Colin, remove the length settings, or make that hidden somewhere. That's a kind of setting I forgot: the "please don't fail" option. You could also avoid the transliteration options, and always transliterate if you find the i18n-ascii.txt file. All the help stuff should be shown on mouseover or with a click. Just this should already make this settings page way narrower, without having to click everywhere to disclose fields. Then, it's your module so it's your call :) HTH, Xav
