Opinions, further proposals?
I'm fine with it as long as
a.) the default is what the classes does (i.e., "always center content" is an
opt-in, not an opt-out)
Sure. We need a layout tag to tell what the class default is.
To clarify the concept of my idea:
The setting is somewhat between the the document settings and the preferences. The idea is to change
only the way NEW floats are inserted. Existing floats will not be changed by this setting.
Take for example the case that you have to write an internal research report today. You want to have
all floats containing only one image centered. So you set this in my setting and every new float is
is inserted with a centered image. You have 15 floats but one should be left-aligned (because it
contains e.g. subfigures). So you can change the alignment of that single float as usual. If you
insert afterwards new floats, you still get the desired centered floats.
Tomorrow you will have to continue to write a journal article. This class required to have all
floats right-aligned. So you set this in my setting ans start writing. For one float you might have
to align the content using an hfill so you can change the alignment as usual.
For the reason of the need to write with different document classes, the setting should the
document-dependent.
For the reason that in many cases one or a few floats needs to have another alignment than all other
floats, my setting does not change existing floats.
There can be another option where you can change the alignment for _all_ floats in your document as
you proposed. Such a setting is useful, but both features, my proposed and your proposed should be
separated.
For tabulars and algorithm floats,font size would be a further useful option.
Yes, the plan was that you can also specify a default size for the image/table in the float and the
caption position too.
