Also, the perennially not working "keep using this answer..." still does not work. ?
By design, this is a per-session preference. (it will prompt you again each time you quit and load up MC)
However, I
only get that prompt when I hold down the CTRL key now - I'm directed to the video's page if I just click on a video link, even if I set MC to remember that I want to download videos automatically.
I think better behavior would be to have MC prompt the first time you watch a video, and if you ask MC to remember your preference, it would stick for good.
A preference in the Options window, and retaining the ability to hold down CTRL to be prompted for options would make this work.
And I just wanted to comment on the new refresh rate features - they seem like very nice usability improvements. (and thanks for the Windows 8 fix)
