Use configuration file to load default analysis scripts

It would make sense for lyse to have a configuration file similar to runmanager's, where you can set default analysis scripts to load when you start the program. As with runmanager, there should then be options to load/revert/save the configuration.

I noticed that under file in the menu there allready are options for loading configuration and saving them, but they do nothing at all. This proposed change would be great especially, when managing very many different special scripts and a small set of 'default scripts'

We could add something like this:

add to Lyse class:

#!python

    def save_configuration(self):
        import pprint
        save_file = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)),"config.ini")
        lyse_config = LabConfig(save_file)
        save_data = {}
        save_data['SingleShot'] = [routine.filepath for routine in self.singleshot_routinebox.routines]
        save_data['LastSingleShotFolder'] = self.singleshot_routinebox.last_opened_routine_folder
        save_data['MultiShot'] = [routine.filepath for routine in self.multishot_routinebox.routines]
        save_data['LastMultiShotFolder'] = self.multishot_routinebox.last_opened_routine_folder
        save_data['LastFileBoxFolder'] = self.filebox.last_opened_shots_folder
        for key, value in save_data.items():
            lyse_config.set('lyse_state', key, pprint.pformat(value))

    def load_configuration(self):
        import ast
        save_file = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)),"config.ini")
        lyse_config = LabConfig(save_file)
        try:
            self.singleshot_routinebox.add_rotines(ast.literal_eval(lyse_config.get('lyse_state', 'SingleShot')))
            self.singleshot_routinebox.last_opened_routine_folder = ast.literal_eval(lyse_config.get('lyse_state', 'LastSingleShotFolder'))
            self.multishot_routinebox.add_rotines(ast.literal_eval(lyse_config.get('lyse_state', 'MultiShot')))
            self.multishot_routinebox.last_opened_routine_folder = ast.literal_eval(lyse_config.get('lyse_state', 'LastMultiShotFolder'))
            self.filebox.last_opened_shots_folder = ast.literal_eval(lyse_config.get('lyse_state', 'LastFileBoxFolder'))
        except:
            pass

and to Lyse.init():

#!python

        self.ui.actionLoad_configuration.triggered.connect(self.load_configuration)
        self.ui.actionSave_configuration.triggered.connect(self.save_configuration)

and add to/modify in RoutineBox:

#!python

    def on_add_routines_clicked(self):
        routine_files = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileNames(self.ui,
                                                           'Select analysis routines',
                                                           self.last_opened_routine_folder,
                                                           "Python scripts (*.py)")
        if not routine_files:
            # User cancelled selection
            return
        # Convert to standard platform specific path, otherwise Qt likes forward slashes:
        routine_files = [os.path.abspath(routine_file) for routine_file in routine_files]

        # Save the containing folder for use next time we open the dialog box:
        self.last_opened_routine_folder = os.path.dirname(routine_files[0])

        self.add_rotines(routine_files)

    def add_rotines(self, routine_files):
        # Queue the files to be opened:
        for filepath in routine_files:
            if filepath in [routine.filepath for routine in self.routines]:
                app.output_box.output('Warning: Ignoring duplicate analysis routine %s\n'%filepath, red=True)
                continue
            routine = AnalysisRoutine(filepath, self.model, self.output_box_port)
            self.routines.append(routine)
        self.update_select_all_checkstate()
