--- Quote from: shvarz ---I think there is no need to overload the program with options. At some point we should just decide on the best idea and go with it. A logical approach for me would be to load default settings on start-up as this is sort of the point of having default settings. The only time I would want last used settings is if a program crashes. And I would want a reminder at startup that the settings that were loaded are "last used".
What do you think?

Personally, I prefer it to load default.set each time it starts
And good point, what is the point in default settings if you don't use them?
Anyone disagree with that?
shvarz:
The reason for loading "last used" settings after crash is two-fold. One, it is easier to track bugs that way and two - I like to tweak settings a lot step by step and I don't like saving them after each tweak just to make sure that I have them in case of crash.
Numsgil:
I really prefer the load last settings. It makes numerous things much easier for me, as there tends to be alot of coherence between simulations I run.
Default.set is useful to load if you ever get a weird GUI setting somewhere and want to start from a known good setting. Also, occassionally (rarely) something screwy happens and lastexit.set might not get loaded.
It wouldn't be hard to create some kind of ini file for the program that stores these sort of long reaching preferences. We could add a "show splash screen at start" toggle as well.
shvarz:
The sanpshot routine is messed up in this version too. It makes files with incorrect formatting.

Ouch, I'm getting tons of errors coming up when I try to load Eric's ex nihlo sim file, ending in a program-crashing overflow
It gives the following errors:
"Error while loading sim. Invalid procedure call or argument"
"File already open. Path: C:\...\Alga_Minimalis.txt is not a valid robot"
Sim starts, but a couple of seconds later ...
"Error. Overflow. Saving sim in saves directory as error.sim"
"Error while loading sim. Object variable or With block variable not set"
"Error while loading sim. ."
"Error while loading sim. Resume without error"
The sim resumes, but is frozen and I can't get it to unpause
If I click the cycle button ...
"Run-time error '6': Overflow"
Program spontaneously exits
