Default UX: Some project settings are global

"REAPER Preferences" are and should be global.

"Project Settings" should all be per project, but some are global. This is a confusing mess for the user.

Am I wrong about this? (I just set the media folder option in Project Settings and now it's present everywhere.) Perhaps they only become global once you enter information in a blank field? Very tricky and likely to lead to annoying problems down the line.

Solution: Move all global options out of Project Settings and into Reaper global prefs.

Default

You probably hit the "Save as default project settings"-button in the project settings. With them, you can set the current project-settings as default for newly created projects.
The settings are not global, when simply using the OK-button.

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't think I did but that would explain it.
