saving defaults?

[ratcreature]

Gimp used to start with the regular black foreground, white background color setting. At one point I must have done something without realizing, because now whenever I start the foreground color is set to a light pink. I want it to be black again, but I don't know how I get that reset. I tried picking black and then closing Gimp, but as soon as I start the program it switched back to the pink color. Where can I make it remember the default color selection?

I'm the owner and have read/write permission for all of them as far as I can tell. This is very odd.

Hmm. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1199162 suggests that you also need to tick the box on the Input Devices page to save settings on exit, too. It may be worth trying that, since it seemed to fix it for the person who posted that thread!

(Though for what it's worth, I don't have that option ticked and it saves just fine for me. Then again, I'm using Windows, not Linux.)

Wow, that ticky box did indeed the trick! It now saved the preferences. Though seriously, that is random and convoluted! My chicken waving icon feels quite appropriate.

The ways of the GIMP are strange and mysterious.

Glad you got it sorted though. :)
