VLC Issues Update And Version Request

1) Firstly any ideas on when VLC will resolve the following issues: a) Not saving settings like having "sepia" mode and then when clicking next in the playlist it goes back to normal non-sepia. If i close vlc after making the Sepia setting and then play/add a folder to vlc the first one or two videos would be sepia but then goes back to normal. b) Also the latest version of VLC does not remember to stretch 4;3 videos to 16;9. Can someone comfort how im supposed to do this just in case i got it wrong. The other issue which has been around a long time is that play files randomly does not really play them randomly at all

2) Also while i wait can some one advise me on a previous version that does remember to stretch 4;3 videos AND remember as well as have the "sepia" options and remembers it when going to the next file after playing a folder?

Thanks

There's a special way to make sure that VLC plays a file with the correct aspect-ratio. It's easy. If you're familiar with creating shortcut files on your system, just create a shortcut with the proper MRL path options for VLC, then append the "--aspect-ratio=16:9" option. Voila! The file will now automagically open with the proper AR whenever you click it. It seems kind of hard, but it is reliable.

Report a VLC2 bug. It really does not use the global (forced) aspect ratio (--aspect-ratio=16:9) with next playlist items. VLC1 O.K.

Also any ideas which verion is could use that streches videos to 16;9 INDEFINATLY and still has sepia. One possability could i install two versions of VLC one on C drive which streches videos and the otehr that has sepia?
