    Going back to an earlier part of the discussion, have you installed brush packs during the current application session? And is it just those packs you're losing? I would expect to lose them on the desktop if I did not close the application after installing, given the way that the Affinity applications work on the desktop. But I don't know how they work on the iPad. (And, for that matter, I'm not sure how I would go about "closing" the application on the iPad. I haven't figured out that process, yet.)

    I lose all that I install from my iCloud account. The through the app purchases stay.

  2. Added note: the brushes were all for my desktop that I since have installed on my iPad Air 4th gen. This may not matter but thought well I wonder if the brushes being that they're a little different in that the desktop version may have some sub brushes or something else that the iPad version cannot handle? just a thought

     

    oh and they all come from iCloud account storage.

  3. I don't believe it has anything to do with a certain pack. When all was fine, I had Frankentoon, Retrosupply, True Grit Supply, DAUB, as the main ones, plus all the ones I have purchased through the app, and others from Gumroad. The crashes seem to occur while doing virtually nothing out of the ordinary, maybe switching tools, or moving a layer to different place, I wish I could remember what happened the last time, but it was so insignificant what I did that is what I can't explain it. I will say that I am a brushes addict!  and I tend to just pile on and pile on the brushes. Like I have all the Retrosupply, all Frankentoon, all DAUB, almost all TrueGrit, so many more from the app. 

  4. I tested the stamp tool on an image and I found out that stamping on current layer is accurately stamping. While Current and Below stamping is not. I've noticed that when I stamp from current or below the stamping is always a wee bit off. Not bad at all, especially to the untrained eye, but I've noticed its always been a bit fuzzy and now I see that there is some accuracy discrepancies. I hope this gets looked into.

  5. When I created a style with a gradient on the fill and on the stroke and saved it, I thought the style would apply on my converted to curves text but it didn't. The fill gradient always applies perfect but the stroke gradient is always out in left field and I can't figure out how to get it be on the shape I want it to be on. The image attached shows just where the app wanted to put the stroke, no where near my shape.

  6. I've used VS and it's pretty amazing and I agree with you that the wait is going to be forever (It's almost getting close to 10 years after this year, 2014 is Designers birth year) and that is something that a lot of people probably can't stick around for to get features that we've been waiting patiently for. Personally, I am really at a crossroads with Affinity suite. Love it but I can't stand to see others make leaps over and over it. From UI, smart tools, sky replacements, AI tools, warping, pattern making, Text distortions, etc. we've seen all these things, some in even the seemingly smaller companies making strides-see Vectornator, Amadine, heck Polarr even has a simple AI engine. I'll get off my soapbox now. For the record I've been a loyal supporter of Affinity since the beginning and continue to be.

    It is often the case on the desktop (and possibly on iPad) that changes made to the Affinity applications (Preferences, or addition of Assets, Brushes, etc.) are not saved unless the application is closed successfully after the change is made.

    So, if you add some brushes, and then the application crashes before you have closed it successfully, I would not be surprised if the brushes disappear.

    Yes I got happy and went too far and my library of brushes disappeared. Back to stock. I will close out of the app from time to time next time I decide I want to put the effort of adding brushes AGAIN. Multi-select importing like on desktop would be so welcome here.

    Hi @evtonic3,

    Currently the only way to do this is with a keyboard connected to your iPad.  That would allow you to hold down the ALT/Option key while selecting a new brush, like you can do on desktop and keep size of the stroke.

    I'll put in an improvement request to get an ALT key added to the on screen modifiers for the Move tool, which would solve this. 

    Where are these onscreen modifiers and how do I use them?
