3437	RFE: positions file include camera position	Elaine Meng	Tom Goddard	"For my purposes, the positions file would be way more useful if it also included the camera position.  My use case is trying to regenerate a figure where the tool windows are important.  Session does not save any of the tool windows.  I have a script that does everything, but then I have to hand-position the structure and it is very time-consuming and difficult to find the right position.  So my idea is to save positions from the session, close session, run the script so that I have all the tool windows but then apply the positions (including camera) to get the view that is in the session.

Maybe the real problem is that all the tools (including results panels like crosslink histogram) aren't saved in the session, but who knows when THAT will happen.

Also I do see a snag in that open/save positions requires specifying models, and then it would also need an option whether to also set camera (at least on open) or ignore that part.  So maybe you would consider it not worth doing.  I thought it was worth asking, at least."	enhancement	assigned	moderate		Input/Output								all	ChimeraX
