GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 777751
User-created tool presets cannot be edited
Last modified: 2018-05-24 17:22:51 UTC
Context: editing a tool preset tool settings, such as size, hardness, etc. Trigger: pressing the "Save" button on the Tool Preset Editor while editing a given tool preset. Expected outcome: the tool preset is updated to mirror the current tool settings after clicking the "Save" button. Current outcome: the tool preset is not updated to mirror the current tool settings. It keeps the tool settings assigned upon tool preset creation.

I assume you are talking about default presets, aren't you? In such a case, the problem is that default presets (as any kind of default assets) are not writable, which means you can't delete nor edit them. This is indeed a problem IMO, and should be dealt with. Could you confirm this is your case? If so, we can close as duplicate of bug 118742.
No, in this case I'm talking about user created tool presets. I will specify it in the title, thanks for noting that!
Hmmm… ok then it would be an actual bug. I can't reproduce it though. When you click on the "Save tool preset" button, it should open a list of tool preset. In this list, the default ones will be grayed-out (i.e. not clickable/editable) but your custom ones should be clickable. When you click one of yours, it should open the "tool preset editor" as a dock. There you can click the "Save" button. Isn't it what you have?
Yep - the U.I. for this is totally broken - once the preset is saved from the tool options button for the first time, all that is possible is to select whether it applies the settings (FG/BG, Brush, etc...) - i.e., only the checkboxes on the preset editor itself have an effect. I had discussed this at lenght with José Américo Gobbo. But I think bringing this to make something correct, is a separate issue than the overhauiling discussed on #768497. Even if on 2.8 it means only bringging up a notice telling "the saved values were not updated at all".
Does this work fine in master? I tend to let 2.8 start rotting when it comes to tool presets, they are broken beyond repair.
