Yes, I do. Sorry if the previous post seemed a little unclear there.

The ones that I personally would like to keep saved for all my graphs (as my
'personal defaults') are:
- Zoom
Keep them the same
Preserve their ratio
Zoom lock
- Magnify
Keep them the same
Preserve their ratio
- Cross
Crosshairs on/off

I am not so sure about the 'horizontal/vertical/step' numbers, I hardly
touch them myself, but one might want this saved as a preference ?
- Magnify
Same goes for the numbers on 'width/height/x/y/horizontal/vertical' magnify
; I hardly change these ones myself, but maybe others would like these saved
as a preference.
- Origin
Also not sure about 'sequence number origin', personally I change this a lot
myself (so not worth saving), but one might want this saved as a preference.

Well as you already mentioned, "graph type" is one thing not worth saving
(except maybe for the 'init-on-change' button?), and others might be:
- Zoom
In/Out
- Origin
Time Origin (beginning of this tcp session vs beginning of capture).
