</blockquote></div><br>The default preset button really should be in the bottom left corner (like in branch 2), that KDE standard and used in other places in Krita too.<br><br>I also think that the remove button isn't placed very logical, it should be together with the list and not with the save button. Choosing a preset only sets the values in the settings, but you are not working in the preset you choose. In my opinion it would be better to put on the right side of the preset list and use just an icon like in the other choosers.<br>
<br>I would prefer branch 3 with default and remove button at the bottom. For me at would be the most logical seperation between preset management and the editing of the paintop settings.<br>
