A custom default configuration would be a huge time saver.
For instance, there is a .PPC file saved for a printout in a project, but if
you try to load this into another project, it is an 'unknown' file. There
should be a way to save and load printout configurations between projects.
I only do a couple of different printouts and I have to set them up manually
over and over for each PCB. Big waste of time.
