Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/2475

State: closed
Merged: Yes

Summary of the Pull Request

This is more trouble than it's worth. We had code before to re-serialize settings when they changed, to try and gracefully migrate settings from old schemas to new ones. This is good in theory, but with #754 coming soon, this is going to become a minefield. In the future we'll just always be providing a base schema that's reasonable, so this won't matter so much. Keys that users have that aren't understood will just be ignored, and that's fine.

PR Checklist

  • Related to #754.
  • I've discussed this with core contributors already.

Validation Steps Performed

I tried changing "acrylicOpacity" to 0.9. When re-serialized, 0.9 becomes 0.8999grabage. This would have caused a re-format before, but no longer does :)
