Hi, Can you make it possible to choose a default development setting on import?

While importing, it is possible to choose a development setting (i.e. Sharpening, noise-reduction etc.) with you own custom name to automatically apply to all your imported pictures.  However, each time you do an import, you always have to select this setting from all your presets.  I see 3 options:

 

1) From the preference menu make a setting like "Remember last settings on import" or something like that

2) Add the option in the import menu itself like "Want to import with previous settings? checkbox"

3) In the dropdown menu of your presets to apply on import a Checkbox with "Make this de default setting" 

 

It's a small thing but very helpfull if you have do this manually each and every time.  Thank you!

BTW, the option to apply a preset on all imports is also already available. Right-click on the preset.

Ok! I will try that.  A different approach but indeed even better.  Thanks!

AFAIK, Lightroom Classic should already remember the last used preset. You can also define a preset as camera default in Preferences - Presets. That is even better, because that means you can set a different preset for each camera.
