Public bug reported:

Whenever I am creating a new title, or adding a picture/title/video to
the timeline, I am prompted for various settings, ie the default title,
or the fade time (2.00 seconds), or the default top/bottom track (2 and
1).

Instead of always reading these default values from the sourcecode .py
files, it would be really convenient if the application somehow
"remembered" the last used value for "fade time", type of fade ("Fade In
& Out"), etc... basically, shortcuts for doing repetitive operations. It
would save a tremendous amount of time when making a video with lots of
clips (my case, 5 second screenshots), lots of titles (ie
annotations/subtitles), etc. It would just "remember" what I said last
time the dialog was open so I could just press OK instead of tweaking
the items every single time. In my case, I've found that a 1 second fade
in/out is more useful for my videos, but it's annoying to have to type
in 1.00 every single time.
