Cobian Reflector • Why do configuration .ini files have unique identifiers and what does their repetition entail?

I know about a way to put the “Cobian Reflector.ini” and “MainList.lst” files in the installation folder in order to transfer the settings and list of tasks to a new location, but this method seems unreliable to me (after all, if the file structure changes in the new version, then the old copies will no longer be relevant).

Therefore, I decided to take a different route: edit the settings file already created by the program, changing the parameters I needed. For example

Code:

Log level=2
on

Code:

Log level=1
and so on.

But in the process of editing the configuration files, I had questions about blocks like

Code:

Mail recipients={ *§* 44b7c82c-0c85-4557-9c46-14e61eaba7ff *§* }

Code:

<§- 44b7c82c-0c85-4557-9c46-14e61eaba7ff -§>...<§§- 44b7c82c-0c85-4557-9c46-14e61eaba7ff -§§>
Why generate new identifiers every time? It would be convenient if they were static and could be found using keywords. Like

Code:

<§- Mail recipients -§>...<§§- Mail recipients -§§>
Or even in the form of .xml

Code:

<MailRecipients>...</MailRecipients>
And also found in the files

Code:

SockProxyPassword=

Code:

WebProxyPassword=
and others "*Password=", although I don't set passwords. Why aren't they initially empty?
