Bug in the Gradient tool ?

permalink

it happen to me with gimp 2.8 on win XP,
Not sure if may be replicated in other OS, before report as a bug i would like to be sure

1)start gimp, change the default gradient with something other
you may see in the toolbox the new gradient as the active gradient

2) click on the blend tool
In its dialog you will see that ignore the change, if you use it it will draw with the default gradient

3) only way to change it is from the blend tool dialog change again the gradient

In a fewer words the change of gradient if done trough the toolbox widget seems ignored, even if apparently the change is accepted

Only from the Blend tool dialog seems possible change the gradient

That become a problem not only when directly using the blend tool (where at least the problem is visible so easier to correct) but also using filters as "Gradient Map"

Quoting "Alchemie foto\grafiche" :

There is no GIMP 2.8; perhaps you mean 2.6.8?

Check your Preferences. On the Tool Options page make sure that the
"Gradients" box is checked under Paint Options Shared Between Tools.

Thank Saulgoode that solved

Usually i dislike share options between tools, but i see now that may be very
useful for the gradient
