-The second part of improvements started with reviewing a 
[patch](https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759601) submitted by Benoit Touchette. As a professional 
photographer, he regularly works on hundreds of photos daily and has an extensive use of masks, so he needs 
to get from A to B extremely fast. So Benoit 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 added a whole new infrastructure to automatically save and load settings of dialogs.

-You may have noticed a few more new things about the _Preferences_ dialog. There is now a scrollbar on large 
pages, to make the dialog fit small screens like the still popular 1366x768 on lower-end laptops. 
Additionally, some pages now feature a reset button that restores default settings.
+You may have noticed a few more new things about the _Preferences_ dialog. There is now a scrollbar on large 
pages to make the dialog fit small screens like the still popular 1366x768 on lower-end laptops (quite a few 
GIMP users reported that _Preferences_ was getting too big). Additionally, some pages now feature a reset 
button that restores default settings.
 
 The dialog defaults feature will be available in GIMP 2.9.6 and, eventually, in GIMP 2.10.
