Keep extra information in STIL or put it directly in SAP files?
pfusik: As I resisted STIL for many years, here's how I got convinced to it:
- It's very well documented.
- We have lots of existing entries.
- It wasn't hard to support it in ASAP.
- SID players require the user to locate the STIL file. If you instead search for the file automatically, it requires no user intervention to show her additional potentially interesting information.
- The information is easy to understand if you reformat it instead of showing as-is.
- Ramos was lobbying it all the time. ;)
