Stein,

for whatever reason the very options setting is not stored in the
ImageJ-preferences file and the setting is always reset with every start
of ImageJ.

If the setting were stored, you could change the entry to the
preferences file...

In short, I've no idea of how to change the situation, except by
adapting the Java code of ImageJ.

Best

Herbie
