I agree that what I am seeing is a design issue, not a bug. But to a user it has six legs and runs around on the floor. ;-) What I want is that type of setting to "default" to what I last used. So, yes, I want it to do the same action every time I do that task, until I tell it to do a different action. What it is doing now IS remembering a setting (always the same one no matter what I do) -- what it is remembering happens to be _never_ what I want to do. :-( It seems to me to be more useful to remember what the user does rather than some setting that the user never uses. Imagine if you had to sharpen a pencil EVERY time you wanted to use it. And every time you set it back down on the desk the point completely disappeared. ;-) Jay _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
