There's some code in compose.c that tries to guess some useful default values for the layers it preselects. This code could certainly be improved. I am not sure though if it makes sense to attempt to guess the compose mode from the given layer names. It's probably more useful to remember the last used mode (which is what the plug-in does already). > 2.

It doesn't seem to work very well though. We would happily accept a patch that improves this. Sven
