I see, no idea why the the search didn't find anything and seeing that this topic was brought up several times already seems to indicate that there won't be any change soon... *sigh* Anyway, thanks.

For me it's only logical to have the last used tool selected, no matter which document, but anyway, having no tool selected is just frustrating when you work with a load of images. I agree though that having more options is never a bad idea.

Hey! first of all, I was searching the forum for this specific topic, but I didn't find anything which I find rather weird, I can't believe I'm the only one missing this simple, yet really handy function. I'm working with a lot of images and do lots of little touch ups, mostly using the same tools, but everytime I open a new image (not even closing affinity) I have to click on a tool or hit the specific button to select that tool. It would be so much easier and faster if the last used tool was just kept selected. I was looking through the settings, and as I said searched the forum, but I can't find anything about it. It's such a simple function, coming from photoshop I'm really used to it and I'd never had thought I'd miss it so much.

To add a bit weight to the conversation: I'm currently using the testversion of Affinity Photo, I'm trying to integrate it into my dayly workflow because I really like it so far and I was kinda expecting to buy it, but not being able to save in the original folder is REALLY annoying, especially if you work with a lot of images from a lot of different folders like I do. TBH if this issue didn't exist, I'd have bought the software already, but seeing that this thread here is going for years now with no reaction from the developers is... let's say alarming, and I'm not sure if this is the right software for me anymore.
