Hi, as far as I can tell, the mode of the Pen tool (regular versus Spiro) should be remembered automatically. At least on my machine that is what happens, Windows 10, Inkscape 0.92pre5 r15287 (32 bit exe build).
- first thing to check is whether the prefs file is getting updated properly. It is at C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\preferences.xml and it should get updated every single time you close Inkscape. So check the time stamp to make sure it is up-to-date
- second thing to check is the setting freehand-mode="0" inside the prefs file. freehand-mode="0" means regular Bezier pen freehand-mode="1" means spiro pen
This setting should reflect the last usage of the pen (after you have closed Inkscape, and after the prefs file has been refreshed)
hth, Alvin
