MR Description
This MR fixes a GUI issue by restoring the previous tool after using a filter, preventing user confusion.
Changes
- Restore Previous Tool After Filter Use:
- Added code to retrieve the previous tool from the context.
- After a filter dialog closes (whether committed or canceled), the previous tool is restored using
gimp_context_set_tool.
Benefit
- Ensures the user’s previous tool is restored after using a filter, providing a more intuitive and seamless experience in the tool palette.
