Import DisplayMode

[sbaer]

Can this be implemented please? It is possible to export and import displaymodes manually, so please just
add it so it can be scripted or macro'ed.

How can I install displaymodes to V5? I want to do this automatically, thorugh a script, or an installer if
there are any that are very easy to use.

(I need it for Holomark2 to do some thorough tests)

-Jørgen

I don't think it's possible (perhaps with Python?)... It might have
been scriptable if there were some additional options in: -Options
_Appearance _AdvancedSettings

Right now, all you can access this way is... nothing, actually...

You get ( Wireframe Shaded Rendered RenderedShadows Ghosted XRay
Technical FlatShaded ), but the links don't work... So it's completely
useless.

If we got rid of the useless links and replaced them with something like
(ImportDisplayMode ExportDisplayMode), one could then give a filename
and path for the .ini file and actually import or export a display mode
via macro or script (by scripting the Rhino.Command). For the non-dash
version of the command, the user would get a file open/save dialog, of
course...

Then one could imagine that one could also directly install a display
mode via script by first writing a temp .ini file (just text) to a
specific location on the disk and then retrieving it by scripting the
command as above...
