Save settings and run floppy from Finder #18

A convenient feature of emulators such as Virtual ][ is the ability to double click a disk image from Finder and run it directly with the emulator.

I've made an Automator script to perform the same with Ample:

#!/bin/zsh
cd "/Users/me/Library/Application Support/Ample"
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
	open /Users/me/bin/Ample.app
	exit 0
fi
/Applications/Ample.app/Contents/MacOS/mame64 apple2p -skip_gameinfo -nounevenstretch -window -resolution 560x384 -video soft -flop1 "$1"

However my script lacks configurability. I think a nice way to implement this would be to save the last options used with Ample (machine type, video settings...), and run the floppy with this last saved configuration.

Besides, I think an option to save the settings would be handy in the GUI, I find myself ticking the same options each time I start Ample and this wastes time compared to other emulator.

Once everything is configured to your liking, try Bookmarks -> Set Default

Very nice, that makes things a lot more convenient!

I would still suggest the ability, at some point, to run a floppy with the default settings by double clicking it directly from Finder, as Virtual ][ and others do.

How do you reset all machine settings(slots) back to default (when first installed)?
