if we use a config file can we store it correctly, for example, using a ".cmgui" directory. I used to dislike having a "CMGUI" file in my home directory.

Do we still have the cmgui.com start-up comfile? Anyone care to say how it is now used? We'd use that instead of a "config file"... Add some gfx command to control the setting? I don't think it makes sense to add to the API as it is standalone cmgui- specific...

Don't remove it. There is an easy compromise. By default (i.e. after first install), the "are you sure you want to quit" is enabled, but it has a checkbox "Always show this confirmation before quitting". The user then has the option. Defaults will need to be saved in a config file. I think if the user wants to re-enable confirmation, for now, they can edit the config file.

This is open to discussion. I can't speak for others but I tend to work with a comfile and work should be saved anyway. I find it annoying when you are tweaking and rerunning a comfile a lot. I would also argue that using a comfile is best practice.

I put that up in case users accidentally close the application without saving their works. I guess this has been an annoying feature to some other users too. I will remove the quit prompt.
