Sounds like the "project file" problem.

I introduced (optional!) project files in pcb-rnd and I recommend gschem 
join this effort, preferrably sharing the same file, that could then 
describe almost all aspects of your project.

The project file contains per tool sections. For pcb-rnd it contains the 
board file names and the arbitrary subtrees of pcb-rnd configuration. 
Both pcb-rnd and gsch2pcb-rnd work from this file (we deprecated 
gsch2pcb rc files). Gschem's section could contain a list or tree of 
schematic files and maybe some settings too (e.g. library search paths).

It's up to Roland whether he wants to adapt the idea and/or the file 
format. Maybe if there's more user demand behind the idea, it happens 
sooner.

Regards,

Igor2
