Well, sort of. But that setting doesn't work the way it used to, and in some cases it doesn't work at all. First, "Save Tool Options Now" used to save the active tool, as well as the options for all the tools. Now it (both 2.10 and 2.99) always saves the active tool at exit, even if you have "save tool options at exit" un-checked and you've explicitly done a "save now" to set the tool you want selected whenever you start gimp. To see that, start with a fresh profile (rename your current one), then: Start gimp. Click on the Crop tool. Edit-Preferences Tool Options Click Save Tool Options now. Un-check "Save tool options on exit" (in 2.99 it's un-checked by default, in 2.10 it's checked by default). Dismiss Preferences Click on the Paintbrush tool. Exit gimp. Start gimp. The active tool is now Paintbrush, not Crop. With the gimp 2.10.22 from the Ubuntu repos, that I use for everyday gimping, I've had worse problems, where actual tool options, like the brush for Paintbrush and Fixed size or aspect for Crop, are also saved on exit even when the preference isn't checked. But I haven't been able to reproduce that with a fresh profile, or on 2.99, so I suspect some some strange interaction it's having with my existing configuration. That's why I never filed a bug on this even though it's been annoying me for at least a year. But the bit about not saving the active tool is reproducible with both 2.10 and 2.99, so I should probably file a bug on that part. In 2.8 and earlier 2.10 versions, the active tool was reliably saved when you clicked "save tool options now", and was never saved at exit if you un-checked the "save on exit" preference, and it's hard to imagine that anyone who would un-check that preference would want the active tool saved at exit. ...Akkana _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
