Retain/remember status / settings of “Backlinks in document”

[calvinwyoung]

Hi all, I also ran into this problem and ended up building a plugin to solve it:

New plugin: Save Backlink Settings

Hi all! Just wanted to share a simple plugin that lets you save default settings for the backlinks view at the bottom of documents. Why I made this: I use backlinks extensively and found it annoying that it didn’t preserve my preferences for the collapsed state / sort order. Instead, I had to manually update those settings each time I viewed the backlinks at the bottom of a document. What it does: This plugin lets you specify your preferred backlink settings globally, and then reapplies them…

The plugin lets you save preferred settings for sort order, collapsing backlinks, and showing more context.

Hope folks find this useful!
