ht set default compression level for png export? - ottenm - 01-31-2025
On the "Export Image as PNG" dialog, my compression level was set to 9, causing png exports to take over 60s. If I set it to 4, about 2s. Awesome, but the next time the dialog comes up: 9. Is there a way to set this permanently to 4? (either inside gimp, or somewhere out in config/options/settings files)

With V3.0.0 RC2 the last used values are presented when exporting a png - alternatively you can save and re-load settings - so V3.0.0.RC2 would do what you want.
