The following bug was reported to Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/427961


From: Keith Hellman khellman@mcprogramming.com

I seem to learn more about Xfig each time I use it, but I haven't seen this feature. Allow a user to take the current set of toggled on depths and save them as 'depth profile' with a meaningful name. Allow the user to restore this list as well.

For complex drawings, this will allow a user to make sure they have all the correct 27 out of 63 depths turned on, and probably be faster as well.

Of course, the most useful feature would be allowing fig2dev to use the names:
fig2dev -D algorithm_stage_1
in Makefiles and other automated scripts.
