smplayer.ini File has both configuration and user data

[sarvagyab]

Hi,
I was looking through the configuration files and one thing which looked a little odd to me was that smplayer.ini file which seems to hold most of the configurations for the player also holds user data (eg. latest_dir, [history] recents). Is there a specific reason for keeping these together?

I'm just starting out in development so just want to learn different point of views as I always thought configuration and data should remain separate for separation of concerns.

Thank you
