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.
(In reply to comment #2) > Additional info: It seems to automatically select a transparent PNG (good) > but only saves it at a low resolution. 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.

(In reply to QA Administrators from comment #5) > *Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version > of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later) I just tested this issue under LibreOffice 4.4.2 under Linux and it is still present. Interlaced setting is remembered and "Save Transparency" is not being remembered. (It is also not remembering the export format, but that is a different bug report). It is not inherited from OpenOffice, because OpenOffice had no "Save Transparency" option in PNG.
Don't see this as an enhancement but an ordinary bug. User settings should be saved as it is the fact for Interlaced. No further input from UX needed.
