Indeed.  This would actually be preferable as it also needs to remember
plugin filters and they may be uninstalled between runs of the program.
At least if the name is stored we can default to a sensible choice (e.g.
the default) if the relevant filter doesn't actually exist rather than
some random filter (presumably the next one in the list).

We do store some filter related things in the Xar data (export hint
record, export options for slicing, etc).  I don't think these store the
internal filter ID but there is a chance they might.

Ah OK. That could be cured by writing the filter name out instead.
I take it that's just in the preferences (not in the .xar file).
