options to rungeneric

[nikohansen]

are defined in genericsettings.longoptlist and .shortoptlist. This seems to be an odd place, because there seems no way to change these settings without introducing all kind of bugs.

I agree. Since main of rungeneric.py will most likely become the sole entry point for the postprocessing (plus/minus some renaming) where these options play a role, it should go there from my viewpoint.

I can imagine that the user can or should play with settings in cocopp.genericsetting (also plus minus renaming) to adapt the desired behaviour, see e.g. #1370 (comment) with cocopp.genericsettings.background = .... But they should never change the above definitions of which options exist without changing the respective code.
