+Title: Dialog Defaults

+Summary: FIXME
+
+Until fairly recently GIMP didn't do a very good job of remembering all the settings. If you applied a 
filter to an image and liked the combination of options that you used, there was no way you could save that 
combination for a later use. If you carefully chose selection stroking options, the next time you had to 
stroke a selection, you had to define settings all over again.
+
+Upcoming v2.10 has some major improvements in that department.
+
+Early in the current development cycle we started porting existing GIMP filters to GEGL operations and using 
GEGL tool. This made it possible to . If you've been using v2.9.2 or v2.9.4, you most likely benefit from 
that already.
+
+The second part of improvements started with reviewing a patch submitted by Benoit Touchette. The 
contributor came up with a clever idea to simplify adding new masks: clicking on layers' previews. Various 
modifier keys would additionally define whether you apply and remove the mask or just drop the mask entirely.

+
+The difficult part was to come up with a way to remember the last used mask initiation setting not just 
within one session, but across sessions. So instead of creating a special case for just the _Add Layer Mask_ 
dialog, Michael Natterer
+
+A lot of the new code lives in app/config/gimpdialogconfig.c/h files, and settings are all stored in the 
_gimprc_ configuration file.
+
+dialogs like New File, New Channel, Feather Selection, Stroke Path and others.
+
+This also closed bugs [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63610](#63610), 
[https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120829](#120829), and 
[https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599573](#599573), filed in 2001, 2003, and 2009 respectively. We 
always get there, eventually :)
