<br>
Thanks again for your answer. I totally agree with you: it's
sometimes hard to find a scripting equivalent to some of the GUI
commands. I do something very similar to you in terms of saving
options and restarting with a script that reloads them. And I must
say that I'm quite happy with it so far. <br>
But in order to be even more efficient, I wanted gmsh to
automatically save the options upon exit (as if I had done it with
the menus) and then, my script would ask me if I want to keep
these options or not for next time. It might be available in one
of the next releases ;-)<br>

<pre wrap="">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?

No, sorry, I'm out of ideas.
I do have to address this issue quite often, as I'll want to make a
set of images with exactly the same viewpoint etc. What I do is set
the first up manually in the GUI, manually save the options file, and
then use that saved options file for the rest.
Sometimes I find that there are things that can be done easily enough
in the GUI but don't have obvious scripting equivalents. Here saving
the options is one. Another earlier this year

`Tools/Plugins/New view'. Gmsh does have a nice GUI as GUIs go, but I
prefer scripting wherever possible. Hopefully someone else will have
hit on the answer and will post it here.
