Note that having an insane amount of settings in a single place also makes them
effectively inaccessible.
I don't think that we must put the settings to too many different placed;
however, I do believe that the settings should be accessible at the place where
they are used. I believe that having the settings in a central place on a
dedicated "filter settings" tab *could* be a nice thing; but at the same time,
I disagree that a button on a dialog that allows user to open *that*
configuration from a usage site counts as "scattering" the settings: they are
still in the same central place, and you only have a shortcut.
So IMO, if there's a need to have the settings in Options, then they must be
arranged in such a manner that they be available through a shortcut (ideally in
a limited way, i.e. the shortcut only shows the relevant subset/tab).
The problem usually is not having the settings in different places; the problem
is not having a system in that.</pre>
