I am having an issue with the tool options whenever I start Gimp.

I want black and white to be the FG/BG colors when I start, but recently Gimp is loading with the last colors I had before I last closed Gimp.


I unchecked save tool options on exit.  I remembered saving the tool options with black and white FG/BG.  I tried it again to make sure.  But still, Gimp loads with the last setting when I closed last.

I am using the 2.10.4 appimage
It has changed slightly from Gimp 2.8 one more hurdle to jump in 2.10

Get everything the way you want it.

In Edit -> Preferences -> Tool Options As well as:
untick Save tool options on exit
and click Save Tool options Now

Also required in Edit -> Preferences -> Input Devices (down at the bottom of the list)
untick Save input device settings on exit
and click Save Input Device Settings Now

OK and restart Gimp to check.
Seem to recall someone have problems with FG/BG tool icons. You might have to do a tool options reset.

Thanks!  This has been driving me crazy for awhile
