Feature Request: Re-run with previous/default settings

When making minor adjustments to POPs/QPF/etc. it would be nice to have an "autopilot" option to just go ahead and re-run FB through the whole process - ideally saving the same settings (showers vs stratiform, snow/rain numbers, prob vs. coverage, etc.) without needing to answer the prompts. If it's not possible to remember the previous settings, at least having an autopilot option to run through steps 4-6 with the default settings would make rapid updates easier.

This is a great suggestion, Joe. However, in talking with the developer, Andy Just, it appears that it would take a rewrite of the code and add another layer of complication to pull off what you describe. Hopefully you can click through the options you had set previously fairly quickly just not quite as optimized as you would like. Thanks for the suggestion we will keep it in mind should a rewrite to the code be on the docket at a future date.
