P: 'Include subfolders' on import is not sticky like v9

Since v10 'include subfolders' on import screen always resets to not showing subfolders, in v9 if you clicked 'show subfolders' it persisted until the checkbox was changed. Can we restore this behaviour to v9 version.

The Impoprt dialog's Include Subfolders is and it isn't sticky for me on Windows 10. Let me explain.

My starting point is opening the Import Dialog. By default, a USB memory device E: is always selected when I open the Import Dialog and the Include Subfolders is always unchecked for this. I select a folder on my internal hard drive to import from. The Include Subfolders is unchecked.

I change the state of the Include Subfolders to checked, then click Done. I expect this to save the new state of the Include Subfolders.

I open the Import Dialog again. The Include Subfolders is unchecked for my USB device E:. I select the folder to import from, as I did before. The Include Subfolders is still unchecked. I change Include Subfolders to checked and then import an image.

After importing, I open the Import Dialog again. The Include Subfolders is unchecked for my USB device E:. I select the folder I imported from before and find the Include Subfolders is now checked.

My conclusions:

The Include Subfolders always defaults to unchecked when a drive is selected, eg. E: drive.

For folders, the state of the Include Subfolders is only saved if at least one image is imported.

For folders, the state of the Include Subfolders is not saved by the Done button. It should be.
