Description crxssi 2013-07-30 21:15:39 UTC
When you use the export function with PNG format, it will remember the previously selected state (from a previous export) of the option called "Mode: Interlaced" but it will not remember the state of "Drawing Objects: Save transparency."

Steps to reproduce:

* File-> Export 
* Choose PNG, name and OK
* In Options box, uncheck "Interlaced" and "Save Transparency"
* Export it (OK)
* Repeat the above and notice in Options, only "Interlaced" remained unchecked.

Both options should be remembered.

I can confirm this problem in Draw on Ubuntu GNU/Linux version 13.04 in version 4.1.04 of LO. There is currently no way to produce a reasonable sized PNG file from Draw.

Additional info: It seems to automatically select a transparent PNG (good) but only saves it at a low resolution.

I confirm it on 4.1.0.4 and 4.1.1.2 under Win7 64bit
the "save transparency" flag status is not remembered. 
"interlaced" status is instead remembered

the "save transparency" option was introduced in 4.1.x since I do not see it in 4.0.x releases.

I will point out that it is not "good" that it automatically selects the transparent option every time.  It should remember the previous selection of the user.  There are times you want it to be non-transparent and if you have to export several things, having to turn it off each time is annoying.

If it remembers "mode" it should remember "transparency".

I believe it is a good default to have it selected "on" the first time ever used, however.
