Bug Description

It would be cool if Guvcview could remember the image control settings, at least while the webcam is still the same. Every time I boot up the computer I need to change several settings:

- Disable "Exposure, Auto Priority", as it drops the frames per second a lot.
- Set "Power Line Frequency" to "50 Hz", as otherwise the image flickers a lot.
- Lower the sharpness value. As otherwise the image is way too acute, and has some noise.

I recommend that Guvcview, instead of changing settings directly to the webcam, it stores a profile and loads it by default as long as the chosen webcam is the same.

Thanks for your attention.
