The variable preferred_console is used only inside register_console() and it's semantics is boolean. Make it clear.This loses the index of the preferred console. I'm not sure this is better.That index is not used anywhere. I believe the patch makes things clear.Well, with this change the name and its use is a bit misleading. Maybe changing it to something like use_selected_console is better.Thank you. I will fix this in the next version.
Ideally, the transform should be preferred_console => has_preferred selected_console => preferred_console This would match the actual use of add_preferred_console() Regards, Peter Hurley
