Painter preference for the standard horizontal/vertical spacing

It would be nice if there was a painter preference for the number of vertical/horizontal pixels the Jade Painter puts between controls when using the standard spacing button for vertical/horizontal respectively.

Further to this, there is frequently a larger gap used between logical groupings of controls than that which is used between controls within a group. It would therefore be nice if you could actually specify multiple 'named' standard spacing values, whether they apply to vertical/horizontal or both, and be able to specify which one of them should be the default that is used when you left click the vertical/horizontal standard spacing button. When you right click the button, it would then show a context menu of all the available 'named' spacing options so you can choose the desired non-default spacing.

    Further to this, the current default spacing setting is not an absolute pixel amount but rather a calculation based on the default font for the app context used by the painter. It would be clearer/easier if there was an option to make it an absolute pixel amount.
