It would really be nice if the CMake GUI program could save and restore configurations for whatever CMake setups the end-user uses. By this I mean the ability to save the paths to the source code and where the binaries should be built, as well as its corresponding cache information, under a user-defined name; and subsequently restore that information once the end-user chooses that user-defined name from a drop-down list of those that have been saved.

This would enable as many configurations as the end-user uses CMake for in an easily usable way using the CMake GUI program.

Another welcome improvement to the CMake GUI would be a drop-down list or combobox whenever an item has a set of values to choose from, with the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE being an example of such a field.

The CMake GUI is a great program for using CMake and I hope my suggestions can make it better.
