    Default Is there a registry setting for default export image?

    When ever I export a bitmap, Xara's default is True Color + Alpha. About 90% of the time I need a True Color image.

    Is there a registry setting that changes the default image export color depth setting?

    Oh how many times have I wished for this. Just a small button "Set as Default Export". How much time would it save?

    How long would this take Xara programmer's to fix? 1 day?

    would that it were that simple

    @Gary/Egg - as I recall the UI remembers the last setting - in the case of export resolution just for the session, but for the colour depth it remembers from last time when you reopen the program; can't check that right now though

    Indeed HD you are correct, that is the case with exports.

    However I think Gary (and I) mean Arrange/Create a Bitmap Copy. Our bad. Whenever you do this it defaults to True Color + Alpha and every subsequent operation defaults to the same, requiring a reset to True Color.

    ok

    since I usualy do shift+ctrl+C for bitmap copy with left hand, I hit down arrow immediately afterwards with right hand - not quite as quick as single keystroke, but close
