Oh, or alternately: if you edit an entry or comment and you change the format type, we land you on an interstitial page with, like:
$thing has been edited.
- View $thing
Format was changed to $new; would you like to set it as your default format?
Editing entries always does that anyway. Comments sometimes hit you with an interstitial (if they’re screened, if you unscreened the parent, if you logged in at the same time), could just add that as a new condition.
That way we wouldn’t need extra UI clutter, at least.
Anyway, now you’ve also got me thinking about whether we should always update the default on new posts. Especially for raw, since that’s such a “sometimes food” of a format; any time you use that, you’re probably going right back to your real default next time...
