This is really extremely dangerous, since numerical accuracy will be lost when saving in this format (but not when saving in others). It happened to me many times, because I forgot to remove that *%&/(! checkmark... I have seen that there was a discussion in the past about this behavior. I still cannot see why it makes that much sense and think the potential danger outweighs by far the benefits for some people, but would not like to start that discussion again. However, I think that a) it should be possible to turn off this behavior globally somewhere. All people working in the scientific domain will probably do this b) at the very least the dialog should remember the last setting, so that one does not have to uncheck this box again and again and again until one forgets to do it and looses data.
