Export, to save settings or not

Export, to save settings or not was created by Jmantysalo
When exporting a survey to queXML PDF the options are saved and there is a Reset now -button (which does not work in Firefox because of broken html). When exporting responses the options are not saved.

Is this an intentional design decision? If not, should we make one?
Note: If I asked something and forgot to say version, I am using LS 5.x.

OK, it has not been an intentional decision. But I can not make a bug report until I know which one is the bug, and which is the desired behaviour. That's what we should discuss, or you shoud decide.

Maybe I was not clear enought. If we forget the bug, then we still have an highly illogical (IMO) behaviour where two different exports have different functionality.

I don't understand ?

QueXML export button are shown only after survey is submitted by default.

It's in admin part ?

Sorry, too less sleep or something. So...

Take a LS 4 installation. Log in as survey administrator. Go to the main admin page of any survey. Press Display/Export. Click queXML PDF export. Press Export. Now you are in a page that contains "Reset now" -button. That button is needed, as the system remembers choices you make when exporting the survey.

Now activate the survey and make a response to it. Click Responses. Press Export / Export responses. Now you are in a page that does not remember choices and hence has no "Reset now" -button.

Now the question is: Do we want choices to be remembered or not?
