Bug Description
Hi!
This is not a bug, but a request of new implementation.
When Stellarium starts, the visualization follows what you set up (for example, initial direction, constellation lines, grids, available infos on selected items, atmosphere and so on) every time you change things and press the "Save Settings" in the "Configuration" tab (F2).
That's ok...
The fact is that I use Stellarium not only in order to see the sky online (planetary mode) with a certain configuration (for example no constellation lines, expecially during the day!), but very often I need to use it as a pure sky map, without atmosphere, ground, with grids on, with constellation boundaries and so on: what I have to do is to click a lot of buttons or keyboard letters in order to obtain what I want... but sometimes forgetting some options...
what I ask is the capability to save not only a "basic" configuration (the one active when I run the program) but a couple or more (identified by other "names"), thus having the ability to switch among them, without forgetting anything.
I know that this task could be accomplished by means of scripts, but that's sometimes difficult and requires a deep knowledge of the program and it's subtleties... not for faint heart people, but for programmers!
do you think it'd be possible?
Thanks a lot!

Forgot to say that this feature is present in other programs like Starry Night Pro Plus or Sky Map and I'd like to find also in my favorite program, Stellarium!
