    I believe the logical structure Miles first suggested
    (essentially the first
    one above) with the enhancement above with a single "Get
    All"-button is the
    best. It gives the possibility to preview the values before
    setting them.

I agree (obviously).

I could live with the second set of buttons, except that they all _set_ the
current value, so they should be called Set All *, which produces confusion
with F => C.

         Set All          (F => C)
         Save All         (F => C,S)
         Reset to Saved (S => F,C)
         Get All
           Standard       (D => F)
           Saved          (S => F)
           Current        (C => F)

No; I think we should avoid Reset to Saved.

First, because it uses the confusing term "Reset" (which means other things
in many preference editors). Second, it is simply Get All Saved followed by
Set All, which is just two clicks and is much clearer. I don't see the
disadvantage of the first group above. Why is F => C,S helpful/needed?
