Description Pander 2008-07-21 09:25:45 UTC 
In often used dialog windows like Image / Canvas size and Image / Scale image there are comboboxes for dimensions. Here one can select pixels, percent, etc. Often these dialog windows are used over and over again. By default pixels is selected, but one resizes all the time with percent, one has to reselect percent over and over again.

In order to improve GIMP it is desirable that the last selected item in these comboboxes is remembered and is already selected when using this dialog window again (also after closing the dialog).

Many more comboboxes and other types of settings (like checkboxes etc.) could be selected to inhibit the smart selection. Also it could be possible to have a settings in the preferences to this able the aboved described feature.

Implementing this feature will allow users to perform many of their tasks with less mouse clicks or keyboard hits, enabling to work faster and more efficient with GIMP.
