[Gmsh] Save options file upon exit automatically?

[Christophe Henrard]

Hello,
Thanks Goerdie for your reply. I tried your idea. Even though I had gone 
through all the option parameters, it seemed I had skipped that one. 
Anyway, it partially works: some general options are saved in the 
"OptionFileName" and some others in "SessionFileName". Unfortunately, it 
only saves a very small number of options. I thought it was only the 
"modified options" (since you can change that in a dialog box when you 
manually save options) but it's not even that. In particular, the camera 
view (General.RotationX/Y, ScaleX/Y/Z, TranslationX/Y, Trackball), and 
Graphics windows and clipping planes are not saved. Any idea how to save 
all the options?

Thanks again,
Christophe
