How about, for the time being, you enable auto-save and create a simple

In my opinion, this is really where mc^2 shines. If

This could always be overridden by unchecking it and saving settings. But
no one will ever complain about having this back because no one complained

We're talking about default fresh install settings. I don't like mc
saving settings unless I tell it, also. But to make things easy for new

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,

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