Walt, after looking further into this point, the Tools/options tick box has nothing to do with making it persistent so that it always stays ticked. It is so that it uses the full database of songs in the database (currently around 340,000 entries) and growing bigger every month. This is why it takes a long time to load each time you open with this enabled. If you un-tick this box and then tick the box in the edit screen only, it will be a lot faster as it is using a much smaller data base that in most cases would be enough.
I don't think it will be made persistent because it slows the function of the edit dialog down and is not necessary for most of the edit functions.
