Hmmm. I guess there may be a bug (or feature, depending on your point of view) where file plug-ins don't maintain their last setting in the gimprc file. Also, the file-format specific file plug-ins are the place where preferences of this nature must be set. It's a trade off for how versatile plug-ins can be (supporting another format means dropping in another plug-in instead of recompiling all of GIMP). What probably needs to be addressed is how well (or even if) file plug-ins (which are kind of special plug-ins from a developers perspective) save their last set configurations. I haven't checked if there is a bug written against this issue. It is probably worth while to write such a bug report if there isn't one yet since it's a reasonable request and a useful feature for future releases. Of course, this feature may already exist for the PS file plug-in but its just not being used correctly. I haven't verified that possibility yet (I don't use the PS output format much). -- Michael J.
