So, if one doesn't want other_dir to be saved automatically (like me), how 
do you propose to achieve this if the current behavior is modified such 
that it is excluded from panel autosave option? Introduce yet another 
micro-option specifically for other_dir?


Right now, it's quite straightforward: you either get all or nothing. You 
like the state being carried over? Enable autosave, which is available as 
an option, but not on by default. You don't want this? Keep it off.


You propose to decouple this for some chosen option, that is other_dir, 
and then we'll surely get someone complaining that he wants to be able to 
turn it off, so now we'll have to introduce yet another option ("carry 
over other_dir" and "carry over all other state").


How about just enabling autosave and letting it be? Or else, try mc^2 ;-)

 Is there any chance this can be set as default, its no use having these
 default settings to be wrong.

Well, I don't :) but I get your point.

So, to be sure... you're arguing that other_dir should be an exception and
should always be saved, even if the other options aren't?

Hi,

I personally prefer it being disabled. This way I can quickly change any
setting (e.g. panel listing format) knowing it won't persist and my config
won't be overwritten. Otherwise I'd eventually end up with a config that
slowly, step by step diverges very far away from my original preference, or
it would take a significant amount of ongoing effort to manually revert
everything that I change just for a couple of seconds.

What makes you think the default setting is "wrong"? I don't think there's
an objective truth which vaule is the "good" and which is the "wrong". It's
a matter of personal taste, and that's why it's configurable.

I don't see a solid reason to set one value or the other as the default,
and as such, I'd personally prefer to keep it unchanged from the value
that's been the default in the last couple of years.

cheers,
egmont
