 more specific?

 admin panel settings of the theme:
 1. style css file
 2. logo image
 3. show excerpt in the home page - yes/no
 etc..
 so I use after_switch_theme action to save all this stuff, but on live
 preview event settings are not saved because this action is not called.

 I think that after such hook will be available a lot of developers will
 start to develop themes in more professional way, because now I think some
 of them just use update_option function to insert a data for knowing if
 settings were saved or not.
