For the new uploader I'm working on[1], we want it
to remember your
previous preferences about what license to use and maybe a few other things.
Here's what I'm thinking about:
- We add a new preference for preferred license.
- If present, this prefills the upload form with a license.
- If absent, no license is prefilled.
- Whatever you pick in this form overwrites the preference. That is,
uploading a file has the side effect of storing a preference for the
next time.
My preferred behavior would be:
* If no license is selected under preferences, then it remembers what
you chose last time.
* If a license is selected under preferences, then it sticks with that
one even if you choose a different one for individual uploads.
My default preference stays the same, but for various reasons I
sometimes want or need to deviate from that. I would find it
frustrating if the preference that I set manually got changed every
time I used a different choice for a single upload.
