[Genome] GB save function?

Hi,
In the interests of improving the Genome Browser's function and
utility....
I spend a lot of time creating particular profiles of track settings
- tracks of interest on or off, specific custom tracks, specific
genome coordinates, etc. Once I have spent time on a view and have
everything the way I want it, when I close my browser or go home for
the day, I lose all those settings. (I know that cookies, etc.
remember my last settings, but that only saves one view, and isn't
very good at recreating coordinates.) There is no way (that I know
of) to save a particular customized view, so all the time I spent
customizing the view is wasted.
Could you please consider implementing a Save function that can store
(either on my local machine or on the server) all the parameters for
custumized genome browser shots? Ideally this would include all
custom tracks currently loaded, all other track settings, genome
coordinates, etc. That way I could load up a view I have spent time
creating and wouldn't have to recreate it each time I want to
investigate a particular research question.
This would be really helpful.
Thanks for considering!
Tim
