From Trine.

Saving sessions is very important and I agree that this needs to be in Prospero.

Unfortunately, it is also a lot of work to build session saving. The amount of work is probably comparable to building a whole new module. We'll see how we do with time constraints if this feature will be in the initial release or added afterwards.

As difficult as serialising something like the Prospero stuff is, you should think about some rudimentary session saving for the first version. I just again saw a windows box going down because of maintenance. If you have a lot of surfaces etc. and have to reload everything every time windows does odd things, people will hate you.

If we run out of time to include serialising before first release then I could build in a simple importer/exporter that dumps all the h5geo files into a specified folder. At least that then saves having to re-do the data importing which is usually the annoying time-consuming part.

Well, you could also combine that approach with a .pkl file for the parameters and you are essentially there.

Session saving has been implemented and seems to work aside from a few kinks which hopefully will make themselves obvious over the next couple of weeks.
