Please consider making the option in the "Page Layout" tab appear in the "General" tab to boost productivity. It doesn't need to be changed in any way, just give it some space on the existing General Tab ... 

Adobe Reader already does this and makes a lot of sense, since we can rapidly change the number of pages printed in a single sheet of paper. This is also eco-friendly !!! ;)

Another cool feature would be to have these configurations be saved inside some XML of the document so when it opens again the "default" could be the last used configuration, as long as the "printing changes the document" button is pressed, I suppose. 

Thanks

No, the Page Layout tab belongs on a configuration tab of its own. 

Attempting to move it onto the General tab would require it be collapsed, as with the "Details" for the printer now, and still woould make a crowded dialog more crowed.

There is not quick print function in LO, meaning we will always open the Print dialog, as the dialog will always be opened we gain nothing by crowding the default general tab.

Leave it alone.
