Create a new brush button disappeared

Hi, how can I get the create a new brush button back? I made a brush yesterday, and today it has disappeared, and I can't find anything on youtube about this. There are 4 buttons at the bottom, the first one saying "save tool preset", the next "restore tool preset", the next "delete tool preset", and the last "reset to default values". I pressed the last one, and nothing happened.

Thanks!

Mixing up creating a brush preset with creating a new brush?

The screenshots have the docks side-by-side to save space but they are there on your Gimp, maybe in different places.

This is in the *** Tool Options *** dock

1. The brush presets assign characteristics to an existing brush. see: https://i.imgur.com/Xw0sen9.jpg

New tool preset (1) brings up the preset editor, give the preset a name (2) check the tick boxes and save (3)

2. Need to restore a preset: https://i.imgur.com/D6iBYLg.jpg click the icon for a menu.

New Brush is in the *** Brushes *** dock

3. Click on Create a new brush, https://i.imgur.com/yftdQN5.jpg will bring up the parametric brush editor. A parametric brush is some-name.vbr

Give it a name so you can find it again, Adjust the values to suit. Click on refresh brushes and it will be there. https://i.imgur.com/UisppDJ.jpg

Other Types of brushes

4. A some-name.gbr is a bitmap brush, can be grayscale or colour. You can edit one, open as an image, edit, *** export *** with the .gbr filename suffix. https://i.imgur.com/PpAZ1hb.jpg If you have the brush editor (vbr) editor open the parameters are grayed out, they do not apply to this type of brush.

5. A some-name.gih is a Gimp image-hose, an animated brush. Briefly a layered image, grayscale or colour. *** Export *** with filename suffix .gih. https://i.imgur.com/bhPJIIF.jpg

That explains the types of brush but does not ask the question, Why a New Brush?

If it is a matter of brush size, and shape you should should be using the sliders for size, aspect ratio, angle in the Brush Tool Options dialogue and not creating a new brush.

You are looking at Tools Settings dialog. You should be looking at Brushes dialog.

It was in a different dockable dialog the entire time :)
