Remember last used SVG / SVGZ save and export settings (Responsive and others)
We often need SVG and SVGZ that are NOT responsive to the web area (we need to control the viewable font size for psychometrics purposes).
Illustrator default switches to Responsive being checked after every Illustrator restart. It would be great if every time I restart Illustrator the check box for "Responsive" remembered that I want it UNchecked (our workaround is to create a new SVGZ file immediately after every restart and uncheck the Responsive box, and if we don't remember to do that task our work must be tediously re-exported).

Guys, what do you say about having Edit > SVG Presets dialog (similar to presets for PDF there)? How often do we need to change several parameters at once and to juggle them exporting files for different tasks? I personally stick to a single set of values, but perhaps someone needs to have different ones regularly?

It seems like latest Bets builds (starting with 29.5 52) now remember these options and keep them it between sessions. At least they stick for me when I try. Please try to test it to see if it works as expected for you and comment back.

Please allow us to store SVG saving options as defaults. Too often I forget about "more options" in the SVG saving dialogue. The options are hidden by default and especially the number of decimals is being overlooked. My illustrations get saved as ugly SVG icons with distorted shapes and ugly white space between objects. A simple "set as default" option in this dialogue box would already be very useful if you'd ask me.

When saving a lot of SVG files that use the same settings, it would be great if Illustrator remembered the last used setttings after you have quit the app and restarted it the next day.
I have attached a screenshot showing the desired settings. However, Illustrator does not remember the SVG font subsetting, image location and 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' options.
The SVGs are saved using the Save As… dialogue window with 'Use Artboards' selected.
I am using Illustrator 27.8 on Mac OS 12.7.2.

We develop an image set of currently 42,000 SVG files for our software.
It is important that the file format is 1.1 Tiny, not 1.1.
When creating and editing files illustrator keeps resetting to 1.1 in the save dialogue. Also when I open a file, edit and click save, sometimes it is also saves as 1.1. This is causing lots of problems.
Is there or can you add a way to make the 1.1 tiny profile default? or even remove the other profiles completely?
