I share Tim's opinion opinion that in future it would be good to
allow
to save the placement in project file (or maybe an independent file).
While keeping the placement information in layer attributes might be
convenient for some (as commented in follow up mail from Andreas), it
has some difficulties, too:
- if a layer is used in various independent projects, the labeling
requirements might be different for each of them
- it's not very user friendly if the users need to manually add new
attributes to the layer, assign them to labeling and learn what
values
to put there
- the approach using attributes is not that flexible: things like
curved labels or any custom labeling properties would be rather hard
to represent in layer's attributes
You are right - there are arguments for both storage options.
