MR Description

This MR improves the usability of Tool Presets by allowing users to restore a preset’s settings with a double-click, making the preset selection more intuitive.

Changes

  1. Double-Click to Restore Active Preset:
    • Previously, clicking on an already active preset had no effect, requiring the user to select a different preset before selecting the desired one to restore its settings.
    • The gimp_container_icon_view_item_activated function was updated to call gimp_context_tool_preset_changed when a preset is double-clicked, restoring the preset’s tool options immediately.

Benefit

  • This change simplifies the process of restoring Tool Preset options, providing a more efficient workflow by eliminating unnecessary clicks. Now, double-clicking an active preset will quickly restore its saved settings, improving the overall user experience.
