Firstly, Awesome mod, thanks.

If you select a selector combinator as part of a blueprint it works fine.
If you then use the 'Select New Contents for this Blueprint' button, it does not copy the config of the combinator, and so when you place the blueprint it defaults to select mode not stack size.

Expected behaviour: Creating a new blueprint and updating an existing one should be consistent
Actual behavour: They're not
Steps to repro:
1. Place a selector combinator in stack size mode.
2. Create a blueprint of it (ctrl, shift, c) and put the blueprint in your hotbar.
3. Place blueprint down and verify that the combinator is set to stack size mode.
4. Edit the blueprint, and use the 'select new contents' button to recreate the blueprint with the same combinator.
5. Place it down
6. It is not in stack size mode any more

I'm guessing this is an engine limitation due to lack of events firing for that select new contents blueprint action causing problems for a lot of mods, not just this one.
