GIMP: Set All New Images to Default Transparent Background?

6

Is there a way in GIMP to set an option so that all new images are created with a transparent background?

Currently, when I Ctrl+N (New Image), I have to click "Advanced Options", then open the dialogue "Fill" box and select "Transparent". A real timewaster.

Any help?

To change the Default for new images open up GIMP and go to Edit → Preferences. Select Default Image and change Fill with: to Transparency.
