Pen tool: «rubber band mode» default status

[n_shcherbakov]

I've written about this before in Suggestions, but since the issue "Pen/Node Tool's 'Show Orientation' checkbox is not remembered between app runs [AFD-6547]" now fixed, it seems logical to make "rubber band mode" work in the same way. It's very annoying that you can't enable this mode by default.

Really: every single day, every single working file (whether I'm opening an old file or creating a new one) starts with me getting into the Pen Tool and turning on this mode. 😔

This is yet another example of a setting where it would make more sense to default to an option that the user selects, rather than one which the developers chose to force on users!

I second this - every time I use the pen tool I start drawing and realise rubber band mode isn't enabled. I never draw without it so it would be great if the apps could remember the user's preference between app launches

1.5 years and no change. Seems like such an obvious feature, but no. Very sad.

 

UPD: It's literally two years to the day since the original post.

And even if “Synchronize tools between documents” is enabled - it still doesn't work. I still have to enable it separately in each document. It's hard to imagine how many thousands of times I've done this in all the years I've been using Affinity. 

I apologize for being emotional, but really, it's such an easy fix, but brings so much suffering

2,5 since the original post. Nothing. It's so easy to do, but no one cares. Really disappointing.
