Autopano Pro Defaults???

Earlier this month I posted some question about ‘permanently’ resetting defaults in Pano2VR www.panoguide.com/forums/qna/9421/ and got very helpful responses which solved most of my problems. Now I have similar questions concerning Kolor’s AutopanoPro 2.5.
1. I drag and drop my fisheye images into the lefthand pane. So far so good. But in order to assure a 2:1 equirectangular output I must click the spanner symbol ('Group setting') then click ‘Panorama’ and change the ‘Preferred Extend’ from its default ‘Clamp to panorama content’ to ‘Maximum projection range’. After that click ‘Detect’ and the individual images are quickly converted to a partially processed equirectangular image in the righthand pane.
2. In the righthand pane I click ‘Edit’ to get a larger preview image and make whatever adjustments are necessary. Next I click the ‘Render’ symbol, and reset the Width:Height I require. My preference is 6500:3250 pixels. Next I reset the output folder default from ‘..../Desktop’ to the folder I want the rendered image to be saved in. For me this is always the folder the fisheye images came from. Then I click ‘Render’ and a minute or two later, as if by magic, my rendered equirectangular is dropped into the selected folder.
What a wonderful programme  BUT  I want to use the defaults I’ve reset for all successive sessions, both those made before closing the programme, closing and restarting and returning much later after the PC is rebooted. And that is what I need your help for please.
Mark
PS And don’t forget although the destination folder will change I always want it to be the same as the folder from which fisheye images came.

Hi Mark,
As you know most members of Panoguide use PTGui.
I'd be happier to respond to these questions about Autopano Pro on the Kolor forum if only because it's so much easier to add images to posts on that forum which makes it easier for me to illustrate my responses.
www.kolor.com/forum/
But the key to setting global defaults, as opposed to Group settings, is to use Edit/Settings from the main menu.
%i is the symbol to use in the Output folder field to have the rendered pano placed in the same folder as the source images.
But I can't see a way to set a default size for the stitched image in absolute pixel values.
