Gald to hear you got it working.
Yes, the preferences are persistent and it is annoying that you cannot set
these via command line (at least it appears that way).
Hopefully the public availability of the FBS SDK will help some clever people
to open these options up more.

Subject: Re: FBX batching
Brilliant, got things working, many thanks! Btw, I'm currently using the
6.1 plugin and it simply seems to grab the last used import preferences.
While providing access to most of the plugins' parameters some are
missing through scripting, like eg the frame rate. Therefore it looks
like I have to rely on the user to get the settings right before
starting a batch... silly, that this is so difficult to dig out of the
docs...
Thanks again!
