Hm, it seems I'm not making myself clear.

I'm not saving the data as input settings at the beginning
of the file.
In a seperate file, I'm saving all input settings, and then
compare these input settings to the ones formerly saved.
If they are the same, and if the file exists, it will just
be loaded.

This makes it possible to use the system for all kinds of
files, may it be meshes as pure vector-data, or the meshes
plus triangles themselves, or CSG etc etc.
