I agree with many of those remarks. 1/ How do I store many those presets ?
The correct way is to add a new group to prefs, under the calligraphic tool group, and store that stuff there.
2/ Is there a combo widget with optional icons an rename-able fields ?
Not sure on that. I guess not but I'm not a great fan of GTK and may be missing something. Can anyone comment?
Actually I think you can make it this way: have just a single button on the toolbar which, when pressed, opens a menu with a list of presets and, after a separator, the "Delete" and "Add" command. If the current parameters match those of a preset, that preset gets a checkmark in the menu and Delete applies to it; otherwise Delete is disabled. This should be easy enough to code, provide all the necessary features, and take little space on the toolbar (just one button).
3/You are welcome to propose more meaningfull presets ;)
I will once we have an easily extensible framework to add them to, instead of those fixed buttons :)
4/About the position in the toolbar, I started with buttons on the right, but they are hardly accessible, while I'm sure if we provide 4 to 7 meaningfull presets those will be use 99% of the time. And it's a bit against the workflow: a/ choose the closest preset b/ adjust the values if needed
That makes some sense too. Maybe we can put it on the left if it's just one button as described above.
