The name will be displayed as a bubblehelp when hovering over the preset. Let go the mouse button and a new preset will be created, appearing in the plugin's window.įor easy identification each preset has an identification name and a color. With a tool active, and its settings changed to your liking, simply select the tool's icon in the Attribute Manager and drag it on top of the + icon of the ToolPresets' window.
