Description
The functionality to extract a teaser of a post - aka "trimmed verion" - should be configurable on a per node-type base. This will take care of a lot of bug reports we got and feature requests in #drupal-support..
So, in short we move the option "Length of trimmed post" from 'admin/node/configure' to 'admin/node/configure/types/$node->type'..

i think this would be handy. moving to the right version...
note, in the current HEAD (pre 4.8), the global settings are on admin/content/node-settings (the link is called "post settings") and we should move them to the edit page for each node type under admin/content/types ... other than the length of the teaser, the only other things on the node-settings page are # of posts on the front page and if preview should be required or not. clearly, the # of posts needs to be global, but perhaps required vs. optional preview should be per-node-type, too? if both of those moved out, it'd make node-settings a pretty dumb page, and we should find a new home for the # of posts on the front page.

What about keeping the global page as it is? administer->settings->posts can hold global settings, and administer->settings->content types can hold override settings ("Length of trimmed posts" and possibly "Preview post") for each node type.
I don't like the idea of removing these global settings. If you want to change the length of trimmed posts globally with 30 node types and there's no global setting, then you have to make the same change 30 times.
Theme settings take advantage of this global/local concept.

sure, global vs. per-type over-ride sounds fine. feel free to write a patch for it. ;) i've got no time these days for something like this, and i don't actually need it for any of the sites i deal with.

Moving out of the "x.y.z" queue to a real queue.

This is the oldest issue, and should be the active. All the others are duplicate of this.

This is something that I'm interested in. For example, if I have an image with tags, I want to set a post setting for Tag results specifically (Taxonomy [terms][vocabulary]).
The problem is that if I set the global post settings to three (3) for the front page, then when clicking/viewing a taxonomy term (tag), it is also set to that global setting and I have no way to allow more postings to show for the taxonomy/term.
Optimum config for me would be to have a post setting for the Front Page RSS feed and then a post setting for the Taxonomy (Tags) RSS feed.
