The Device Status Dialog
The Device dialog will show you the status of your input devices. This is (only) useful if you have a drawing tablet. If you do have then you will be able to see and adjust what tool, color, brush, pattern and gradient you have assigned to your different pens (i.e input devices). To alter the context each device has you simply drag and drop brushes, tools etc. with the middle mouse button from the respective dialog (e.g you drag and drop tools from the tool box). It can be very wise to set up a standard context for all your tools and save it (and disable saving of device status on exit in the preference dialog). By doing so you will always have the same settings of the tools each time you start Gimp. ### Additional Information For further information see The Gimp User's Manual page XXXX and the Gimp User's Tutorial page YYYY Shortcut Key Modifier Drag and Drop Xinput ----DEV---- Index (/dialogs/device_status.html) Sorry but the help file for device_status is not yet done. /Karin & Olof
