Nope. This checkbox is not a 'preference' (i.e., not stored as a cookie). It's default value is actually set directly by the plugin code, and can be changed by setting: config.macros.importTiddlers.sync=true; Normally, you would simply place this line into a tiddler named "ImportTiddlersPluginConfig", tagged with 'systemConfig' (i.e., make it a plugin). Because plugins are loaded in alphabetic order, ImportTiddlersPluginConfig will be invoked after ImportTiddlersPlugin, thereby acting as an 'overlay'. However, if you load ImportTiddlersPlugin 'on-the-fly' via a bookmarklet, the value for 'sync' will be reset to the default (=false) when that plugin code is loaded, so any change to the value that you might have made (via the ...Config overlay tiddler) is superseded. Fortuately, there is an obvious solution: in order to re-apply the custom settings, we need to ensure that ImportTiddlersPluginConfig is re-invoked after ImportTiddlersPlugin has been loaded. To accomplish this, I've made an update to TiddlyTools' [[LoadRemotePlugin]] script so that it will accept a tiddlername as an additional optional parameter. If this tiddler is present, then it will be automatically evaluated so that any JS code it contains can be re-invoked as an overlay after the remote plugin is loaded. Thus, to fix your problem: 1) create [[ImportTiddlersPluginConfig]] as described above. Note that, for this specific use, you don't actually need to tag it with systemConfig, since it will be invoked automatically when the remote plugin is loaded, but it shouldn't cause any problems if it is also tagged and invoked during document startup). 2) Drag a new copy of the "ImportTiddlers" instant bookmarklet link directly from http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#InstantBookmarklets so that the latest code is installed into your browser's toolbar (replace the existing bookmarklet). That should do it. The next time you trigger the bookmarklet to remote-load ImportTiddlersPlugin, the custom ImportTiddlersPluginConfig present in your document will also get invoked and your desired settings will then be re-applied.
