           Summary: Optionally remember settings for view object creation
           Product: kst
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist

Version:           1.3.0_devel (using KDE 3.4.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.3
OS:                SunOS (sun4u) release 5.8

Regardless of the outcome of the discussion attached to bug #129281 regarding the edition of multiple view objects a posteriori (i.e. after creation) and as discussed there already, I think it would be nice to make it easier to create a series of objects with common settings. We should therefore implement *optional* sticky settings for each type of view objects, which would make it easy to create e.g. a series of boxes with the same line color, roundedness and fill.

The default should be as it is now (don't remember the settings) but an extra "Temporary defaults" button could be added to the dialogs, with possibly a second button "Cancel temp. defaults" to revert to factory defaults (the naming may need to be improved, but I think you get the idea).
