FH7 Export Gedcom How can I save my defaults?

Using the built in File->Import/Export->Export->Gedcom, ( Alt+FIEG) it opens with a set of pre-defined options and tick boxes. Is there anyway that I can save 'my' selections as the default, instead of having to change them each time I run it?
Same applies to the Split Tree Helper dialog?

Sorry, the answer is 'No' for both commands.

Thanks, Mike. That is what I suspected. Makes it more difficult to automate processes!

Have you tried AutoHotkey?
I have used it in the past to automate FH commands, although not recently.
The only snag is that when FH changes its commands and options the AutoHotkey script needs amending.

Advanced users can always write their own plugin or external script if they do exactly the same thing repeatedly. That's the approach I take for exporting a heavily sanitised extract of my data (no mention at all of living or private individuals, no sources, no media, no places) for subsequently importing to Ancestry. It took longer to write the script than work through a checklist of options, so it is not a time saver in the long run, but does guarantee the same extract each time.
