<h1>Configurations dialog</h1>

Configuraitons stores the complete setup of a SDRangel instance:

  - Workspaces
  - Device sets
  - Features

It also stores the geometry of all windows and workspaces so that the entire aspect of a configuraiton of the instance can be saved and retrieved. A default configuration is saved at program exit and retrieved at the next prograp start. Use the `--scratch` command line option to skip the retrieval of the default configuration and start with an empty setup.
