Custom Component Defaults

You know how when you pull out a perlin noise and the details is always set to 100? And variation is always 1? and how all components have slightly to completely annoying defaults?

What if we could right-click on components and it would say "Edit Default". From there we could either set a random checkbox to have it randomize all default controls, or make custom slider values.

This doesn't seem like a very hard thing to implement, right? Save all presets to a text file, and all components have a special ID that they sort through the file with and grab the compressed information from.

this has been mentioned in other forms before, betis, but i like your way of being able to edit the defaults ourselves. that would be very handy!

I really, really want this. I hate that almost every time I add a component I want to use certain settings that I've recently been using, but I have to go through and manually set them again.

What I'd suggest to make this easiest to implement would be that if you drop a component to the grid, you can edit its values and then right-click the component and select 'Use these values as defaults'.

How many times do you need a slightly blurred, squashed, orange ellipse?

And what is the reasoning behind checkboxes for switches on/off = 5/8 ?



I would even be happy with a poor mans solution like an .ini file.
