Enhancement - comparison settings #13

Closed pete1352 closed 7 years ago

It would be great to be able to save out the categories selected for comparison between models so you could use the same custom setup on future runs.

Agreed, I've been thinking about that as well? what do you think it should be called in the User Interface to make it understandable? "Previous Settings"? (it would have a drop-down box with a named list of previous settings, like "Model Only" "Drawing Only", etc) - and you could save more...

That is really a great idea. Would it live in an XML file or similar so it could be shared with other users? Example: once I come up with a typical setting that people would use in our office, I could update a file on their computer that would have "my preferred/recommended run settings?" Obviously they could overwrite with their own settings, but it might give a starting point. What about "Previously selected categories" for a specific name?

Added a new Save dialog that lets you save your current category settings as a file. (settings files are stored in the %COMMONAPPDATA% or %USERAPPDATA%\Metamorphosis folder, depending on your permissions. Also added an entry to the regular setting.xml file if you wanted to make a particular setting name the default.

Version 1.0.7 posted.
