So perhaps we could just start with making those tool > presets usable? The biggest problem I have with the current tool preset UI is that Save and Restore look almost identical, but Save is destructive. More than once, I've clicked on Save intending to choose (Restore) one of my presets. A menu pops up with a list of the current settings, so I choose the one I want -- and I end up overwriting that setting. And there's no Undo, so now I have to stop what I'm doing, go figure out what those settings were, set them by hand, Save them again, and finally I can get on with editing the image. I finally learned never to click either of those buttons without first hovering over it and waiting for the tooltip, to make sure it's absolutely positively the right button. Without any real redesign, it would help a lot to have a heading on that menu that says "Save options" in bold -- so it's possible to tell that you're about to overwrite something before you do so. ...Akkana _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
