Summary0000638: player based 'default' ctrl values
DescriptionId like some way to set ctrl screen values that are loaded between games - ideally, setting a default someplace in the menus, then when loading a game it defaults to that, etc.

Not so ideally, id accept a text file with 'groupmove=0' or 1 for all of the control checkboxes..

Previously, you could do this with a build template.. now theres no way.
TagsNo tags attached.

For 5.003:

* Courtesy of the current 0000001 on the mantis vote tallies: Added "Copy To Disk" and "Copy From Disk" buttons to bottom of the controls screen.
** Copy To File creates a copy of your global controls (excluding per-planet stuff, but including ship designs) as "copiedGlobalControlSet.dat" in your RuntimeData directory.
** Copy From File prompts you to confirm first, and if you confirm it overwrites all your global control (excluding per-planet stuff, but including ship designs) from what's in "copiedGlobalControlSet.dat" in your RuntimeData directory. If you don't actually have such a file it doesn't do anything when you confirm.


There's obviously other things that could be asked for (being able to specify the filename to save or load, saving/loading a particular planet's per-planet settings to/from a specified filename, specifying a filename that gets loaded automatically when starting a new game, etc) but those would have taken more time than I had available and it's typically best to start with the core of the request and move from there.
