--- Comment #3 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting. In general it makes sense to
remember user settings but some scenarios require the opposite.

We could add a switch, for instance an icon-only button, to let users decide
whether to store or rather apply the stored settings. This should be a pattern
and also apply on other dialogs. The option could be placed next to the frame
label (here Import, Separator Options, Other Options) to not manage every
single item.

Alternatively, we could provide an option to either use the detection or any
manually remembered "named" settings. This dropdown list would be on the very
top of the dialog and replace the automatic settings memory. It applies only in
case of the CSV dialog because of the detection feature (see also bug 152336).

Another idea is to add a reset button that allows to switch back to the factory
defaults.
