Currently when you open an empty Preform build platform it asks you the material and resolution. This is pointless since there is nothing to print. Then when you import something it asks you the material and resolution again. It does not even default to your selection from 1 second ago! Then when you print it asks you the material and resolution again. Then when you close the file it does not save your material or resolution! End the madness!

Thank you FormLabs, PreForm 1.6 is smarter. It seems to default to the last selection _per computer_ which is a bit odd if you setup the file on your powerful computer and Dropbox your files to another, but I may get used to it.
