add "save/load history" in File menu

[alixdamman]

And replace "Open/Save" by "Import/Export Arrays"?

@gdementen Implement this via magic function %save and %load, right?

Now I'm thinking of that, we could use this new functionality to write and load "test" scripts (but we still need a monkey to test the filters and menus ;) )

To be complete, opening/saving a session via the menu File -> Open/Save should run a command like Session(<filepath>)/current_session.save(<filepath>)

Yes, if that works (I have personally never used %load so I don't know what it does).

To be complete, opening/saving a session via the menu File -> Open/Save should run a command like Session()/current_session.save()

Having all menus in the GUI available via commands is indeed the goal, but I don't think we can do that in the short term. For example, sessions currently do not know what file they come from, make it impossible to display the filename in the window title. All such little details will make it hard to only execute a command. But let us keep this in mind as a long term goal.

I'm not sure what the option -n does.

I indeed wrote my second comment as reminder.

Reminder:

• test and release "Load Script" + add explanation (press Enter twice) somewhere
• add tooltips
• use a QComboBox with previously saved/loaded scripts instead of a QLineEdit for the filepath.
