there's no such choice in  lynx.cfg , which has  2  different choices:

MAKE_LINKS_FOR_ALL_IMAGES:FALSE
MAKE_PSEUDO_ALTS_FOR_INLINES:TRUE

the former creates a link for each image encountered,
the latter controls whether  [INLINE]  will be written if  ALT=  is missing;
neither appears to create the `ignore' value of `Show Images'.

there's still the further question why some Options can't be saved to disk.
it all looks like something which fell between the cracks
during step-by-step development of image-handling & Options forms.
