save_settings is a prototype implementation to save all settings with non-default values to a file.

By default settings will be stored to ~/.pymolrc-settings.py which is automatically recognised and loaded by PyMOL on startup. You have to manually delete the file if you no more want those settings to be loaded.

This answers a feature request on sourceforge.

Usage

save_settings [ filename ]
