Start up script

I've read a feature request post from a forum member asking to keep the settings of AS within the file you load so you can have different settings with different anme files . It is a very nice feature request, I think.

From now, there are only some settings reminded:
-The ones from the Preferences dialog.
-The disposition of the windows (although it is not completely achieved)
-The project settings.

As far as I know, none of first two listed settings are accessible by script interface. And the project settings are available partially.

But what if the user want to, for instance, enable the grid by default? or have the video safe zones always visible?

It would be awesome that those kind of settings were open to script interface.

To perform those start-up operations will be so easy. Just insert a menu entry called "start-up" that does nothing itself. But put the main start up actions in the "IsEnabled" function member. It is always performed when you run start up Anime Studio ;).

Yes...that would be very handy to have. I have a lot of default settings that I wish you could set up permanently in a file.
