Why does my Darktable collections always reset to "film roll" after import?

After every new import, I always have to manually set the filters to “camera” and choose my camera, because it always resets to “film roll” which is a single folder and that’s completely useless to me.

Is there a way to stop Darktable from resetting my collections filter after import?

In the module preferences you can select to sort by film roll or folder.

@g-man :
Where (which module), exactly?
In collections, I only found these settings; that last one, sort film rolls by, only has the option to sort by folder name or import time.

@eobet : for me, if I set collections to use folder as the topmost filter, it stays that way, and is not reset to film roll (Windows, darktable 5.2).

This is what I want and I want it to remain after new imports as well:

I don’t care about sorting.
