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,
