You mean, like plain markdown (bug 160734), HTML, RTF, and other formats we
support saving to?

And if I save to a text file, that means I don't want to retain information
about pages and footnotes.

On the contrary. Much of the time, it is arbitrary data that LibreOffice forces
into files, which the users did not want nor intend to place in it.

Additionally, if this is information that documents "inherently rely on", it
would not be stored as application settings, but as aspects of the content or
the styles. Not to mention the fact, that application configuration is, by
definition, application-specific. Open your ODTs in another application, and
they would often/typically be ignored.

It doesn't work that way. My request is UNCONFIRMED; you mistakenly marked it
as WONTFIX, without justifying such an action. And - an edit is not an edit
war.

I am not focusing on individual settings, this bug requests the option of not
saving application settings at all.

I have, however, pre-split the matter of application settings and view
settings.
