Attached find a patch to add the "-nozip" option...As someone who is more of a user, I'd think that if I give any options they would override the defaults, and it would be hard for me to debug if there were other default options that took effect when I gave options. If you keep the default options when specific options are used, it would be helpful to at least give a warning that the other options were used.Bill
Consider carefully the case I gave of default_save_options = "-binary"; save -zip test.mat xWhat is the default file format in this case? The reason to create the defaults_save_options argument was so that we didn't need two global variables for the file format and its options. So if it is implemented as you suggest we are left with a hard coded file format...
Sorry I think I prefer the complementary options due to this point alone... D. -- David Bateman address@hiddenMotorola Labs - Paris +33 1 69 35 48 04 (Ph) Parc Les Algorithmes, Commune de St Aubin +33 1 69 35 77 01 (Fax) 91193 Gif-Sur-Yvette FRANCE
