Allow different teaser length and preview post settings for each content type [#108185]

I don't grasp, why Post Settings is separated from what it is related to. In other words, why is this not integrated with content types?

For more info, please view my forum post [ http://drupal.org/node/107898 ].

My feature request would be:

Change Post Settings to offer the following options:
- "global default"
- "individually define per content type"
Add Main page setting cat, as found in Post Settings, to Content Type settings

Better title and moving to 6.x.

Proposing a move of teaser length and preview button options to the content type page for each type. This would leave the "Number of posts on main page" field which should probably be moved to a more applicable place or separated out into "Number of posts on front page" and "Number of posts on the category listing pages", etc. (That belongs in another issue though.)

We wouldn't need a global default IMO. Just have hardcoded variable_get() defaults for any new content types, then admins can change them at will.
