Save Graph Editor Select Menu Settings With Preferences (Maya 2017)

[Anonymous]

The new graph editor in Maya 2017 has an option in the "Select" menu for selecting anim curves that is off by default.

Current Behaviour:

If you turn it on and then close the Graph Editor (or Maya) then the next time you open the Graph Editor it will be off again. Saving your preferences while the setting is on has no effect on this.

I have tried to work around this by adding

evalDeferred("selectType -animCurve true");

to my userSetup.mel so at least the setting is turned on whenever I open a new instance of Maya, but if I ever close and re-open the GE in that Maya session the problem will return.

Expected Behaviour:
Choose the settings you like, save preferences, keep your settings intact until you change them yourself.

Good catch!  We've fixed this in the beta now for a little while and haven't seen any bugs so hopefully we can roll this out properly soon.

Thanks for the awesome idea!  We've taken this & run with it.  Check out what we put into Maya 2020.

Keep the comments & good ideas rolling in, we're listening!
