No subject

not know in advance, what options a CMM may provide.

PPD files provide something similiar. The printer manufacturer can supply 
a PPD file and a application renders the options into a UI. Just PPD's are 
too less for a CMM I'd guess. Oh, why did I forget this nice example?
Normally a user wants to configure a printer at installation time.
The PPD can be modified to contain the printer configuration as defaults.

I see, at least in SuSE's YaST, the PPD's are not modified during 
configuration and taken as is. Together with Cyrille words, I take this as 
a policy, not to expose dynamic content in the KDE configuration panel, 
for whatever reasons.


kind regards
