Yes, but because it was a manually typed list you could put anything you wanted there. Columns in the list but not in the library were ignored.

be good to have a visual clue to differentiates global and per library settings - e.g underline per library field labels - might be hard to enforce though.

The goal is to eventually move anything that references columns (usually via lookup names) or other specific library data to a per-library setting (a db setting). Things that are "general" UI settings, for example line spacing, remain as user-level settings. And yes, I recognize that the choice of where to put a setting is sometimes not obvious.

Also yes, marking db vs user settings would be a can of worms. First problem is figuring out which is what. Second problem would be maintaining the UI as the settings migrate. I don't want to go there.
