Enhancement Request for making snapshots

I have a very simple yet important enhancement request.
File | Create Snapshot: fill in all the information and click "Create Snapshot".
Result: All the information you just entered (with the exception of the "Create In" field) gets cleared and you have to re-enter all that information again if you want to make a different snapshot!
This is very time consuming. I work off one server and have about 35 different databases. When I need to make a few snapshots, I have to re-enter the server and user name and password each and every time!
Can you please change the program to save the server information by default? Thank you!

I have created a feature request for that (SC-6195). Would it be okay if we simply didn't dismiss the Create New Snapshot dialog after the snapshot has been created, keeping the previously entered fields?
In the meantime, could you try using SQL Snapper, which is a freely distributable tool that creates snapshots:
Mine is here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Red Gate\SQL Compare 10\RedGate.SQLSnapper.exe

Thanks for considering the suggestion.
And I will check out that Snapper tool!
