MacPyMOL does not save "preferences"

I've started using PyMOL (MacPyMOL to be more precise) more frequently, and what bugs me is that it does not save my settings (Window size, render area background color, hidden top panel). Is this the expected behavior or am I missing something? Is there a workaround?

I'm using the free student version, don't know if that is important.

Preferences

You need to create a .pymolrc file to save your preferences.

Here is mine:

# set orthoscopic, rather than perspective as the default
set orthoscopic, 1

# set size of graphics window
viewport 1024,640

Thanks, that works, although

Thanks, that works, although not to the extent one would love to see from a Mac application. :)
