#### 7.2.1. Activating the Dialog

This dialog is a dockable dialog; see the section 2.3. szakasz - Dialogs and Docking for help on manipulating it.

You can access it:

- from the main menu: Windows → Dockable Dialogs → Tool Presets;

- from the Tab menu in any dockable dialog by clicking the tab menu button and selecting Add Tab → Tool Presets.

#### 7.2.2. Using the Tool Presets Dialog

This dialog comes with a list of predefined presets. Each of them has an icon representing the tool presets will be applied to and a name.

Presets can be tagged so that you can arrange presets display as you want. Please see 3.7. szakasz - Tagging for more information about tagging.

Double-clicking on a preset icon opens the Tool Preset Editor.

Double-clicking on preset name allows you to edit this name.

The button bar at the bottom offers the following functionality:

- Edit this tool preset: clicking on this button opens the Tool Preset Editor for the selected preset. The Tool Preset Editor is described in 7.3. szakasz - Tool Preset Editor.

- Create a new tool preset: before clicking on this button, you can either select an existing preset, or select a tool in Toolbox, for example the Healing Tool which is not in the presets list. A new preset is created at the top of the dialog and the Tool Preset Editor is opened. Please see 7.3. szakasz - Tool Preset Editor.

- Save the active tool options to this preset: this saves the current tool settings to the selected preset.

- Restore this tool preset: this restores the tool settings to the values saved in the selected preset.

- Delete this tool preset: this deletes the currently selected preset. Note that this button is disabled for the default presets that come with GIMP.

- Refresh tool presets: If you have added a preset manually to the Tool Presets folder configured in the Folders Preferences, you have to click on this button to include it in the presets list.

#### 7.2.3. The Tool Presets Dialog Context Menu

Right-clicking on the Presets Dialog opens a context menu where you find some commands already described with buttons: Edit tool preset, New tool preset, Save tool options to preset, Restore tool preset, Refresh tool presets. Additional commands are:

Duplicate Tool Preset

  Duplicate Tool Preset: this command is always disabled. It is not necessary since, as we saw above, a duplicate is automatically created when you create a new preset from an existing preset.

Copy Tool Preset Location

  Copy Tool Preset Location allows you to copy the path of the selected tool preset to the clipboard.

Show in File Manager

  Show in File Manager opens the location of the tool preset in the default File Manager on your system.
