Restore PCAN-View filter settings from previous session

Hi

I am using PCAN-View 4.3.4.615 (latest version at time of writing).

When PCAN-View starts, it shows the Connect dialog box.

It remembers my previous session settings and highlights my last-used PCAN-USB device and CANbus settings.

But, it doesn't remember the Filter settings (highlighted in picture), and always reverts to selecting Standard, even though in my last session I set it to Extended (and this is what all our company's CANbus-based products use)

Please modify PCAN-View so that it saves the Filter settings between sessions. This would make it more user-friendly and save users like me a lot of time by not having to always click on Extended every time. Maybe you could add a simple "Default filter" button that would set up the filter masks to 000 to 7FF if Standard option is selected, or 00000000 to 1FFFFFFF if the Extended option is selected.

Thanks
Jason
