I was thinking about the case you work in team with someone else, then 
each time you exchange the file, the last tool settings of the other 
person are loaded. The 0% was just a joke, I was thinking the guy would 
wonder why his paint tools don't work :p (of course it would only happen 
with that file). But yeah, it's a corner case, the advantages may be 
better than disadvantage in the end. Sorry for the noise ^^.

Ahh, I was starting to accept the idea of saving in .kra, and you just 
gave me an example where saving outside the .kra file is better :p : If 
auto-saving is disabled, or set to a big time, you will still lose you 
new paintop setting in a crash. But if you save the default paintop 
setting per user, you can save it each time it's modified, or at least, 
very often (and that even works with a file you never saved :)).
