[Bf-funboard] More than one default.blend

[Reiner]

Blender stores all its settings in the default.blend in the appdata 
path. All settings are stored here. Even the complete scene and its 
content gets saved with ctrl+u , which is sometimes a bit nasty when you 
shoot down your setup by activating a plugin. You don`t always think of 
saving your scene and restart Blender first so that you do the changing 
in the default state.

Sometimes it would be very handy to have some completely different 
settings. Be it because two people are working with the same blender but 
are using different hotkeys and setup. Be it that the one project 
requires a completely different plugin environment or other hotkeys and 
layout. Be it just for the sake to load a blender version with all 
activated plugins, and the next time a blender version just with the 
standard plugins.

We had a discussion at the german Blender forum how to deal with this 
cases. And that`s where this idea gots introduced. Give us a way to deal 
with several default.blend files so that we can create different setup 
versions. Something like the dropdown box for the different screen 
layouts. But not for the layout, but choosing another default.blend 
here. And the current active is the one that gets used to create a new 
scene then.

You can of course manually handle this. By backing up the default.blend 
files with different setups, and work with this different versions then. 
But that`s cumbersome and not really faultproof. You easily overwrite an 
important version of your default.blend that way. So a Blender internal 
solution would be better here :)
