Saving GFX settings on a character-by-character basis?

Is there a simple way to save the graphics settings on a character-by-character basis? Or more specifically, can I "permanently" change the settings for one character without affecting the defaults I've set for other characters?

Here's the problem: The "Dark Armor" power set is just ... too much. I can't even see this character when she has all her DA powers toggled on (and she's only level 27, so there are more powers to come). She's just this black cloud running around. Aside from the visibility problem, that swirling mess of smoke (or whatever it's supposed to be) is a real drag on my FPS.

The only solutions I've found are to either choose "Enabled" on the "Suppress FX When Close" option, or drag the "Max Particle Count" slider all the way down to the minimum. The problem with this solution is that I have to manually go in and change these settings when I log this character in, and then manually change them back when I play a different character.

So can I set these things for this specific character only, so that I don't have to open up the Graphics Settings window every time?

On a character that has your default options that you like for most characters:
/optionsave

This will create a file with your basic default options set. Then swap over to the character you want to have different options set at, change your options to your "low-fi" version, and type:
/optionsavefile <filename>

This will create a file with your altered options. Replace <filename> with whatever you want it to be called.

Then you can type /optionload to load your generic default options, and /optionloadfile <filename> to load your "low-fi" options.

You could also make a macro (you'd need one on every character) to load the options you want while using that character, simplifying the process to a single button press when you change characters. Those macros would be something like
/macro FX "optionload"
/macro FX "optionloadfile <filename>"

Make the one that loads your default settings a bind rather than a macro, and then save it to your default bind settings. Then, on all new characters, you'll automatically have a button you can press to load the default settings. You'll have to load the bind file on all your old characters to get that button on them though.

Or, if the existing characters have a lot of binds that you don't want to destroy by loading a full bind file, just manually add that one bind to them.
