Persistent settings on tools

Post by Steerpike »

I'm new to XnView, trying to find a replacement for IrfanView on Mac.

I love the fact I can add a simple Border to a screenshot from the clipboard - simply use 'Effect' -> 'Effect ...' -> (Misc Section) Border. I can define up to 4 borders, with different widths and colors - great!

But the next time I come to the tool, it's showing the default of 10 pixels white. I want 4 pixels black, every time (most times). I see that I can save my settings as a 'preset', but when I return to the tool, I have to 'choose' that preset from the dropdown. I'd like to be able to have it remember the 'last used' setting each time, so my black 4 point border is always there, by default.

Is there any way to do that?

Also - while I'm here - is there any way to re-map keyboard shortcuts?

Thanks!

Currently no way to use 'last used' preset as default
