Hi, Designer owner - prospective Paint customer here. Using pixel brushes, is it possible to get the Brush Panel to display decent-sized previews of the brush texture? I am thinking of those brushes which are intended to be used as one-click stamps, rather than dragged in a stroke. In other words, in the Brushes panel, I want to view the small brush preview to the left of the stroke but at a larger scale, like the attached screencap. Is that possible? Of perhaps does Affinity use a different tool for stamps? Thanks, Epi

The blue part of some sliders are out of place

Using AfDes 1.8.3.641 on Win10 x64 When using different brushes or styles on vectors, it is not possible to find out later, what brush or style has been used. To test: Draw a few lines with various brushes, use some styles. In the panels, the currently active brush or style will be highlighted. If you select an existing vector, the panels do not switch to the brush or style that was used on that vector. As the discussion below shows, there seems to be no way to get at that information. This should be seen as a bug. See also

Hi Everyone, I am using affinity 1.7.1.404 I think that's the latest update right? I haven't used affinity for a while and had to re-install windows on my pc as it all crashed and died on me so fresh new install. I opened it and all was going well, then after adding a couple of brushes it started to crash every time I tried to add a brush set or delete one. I have reset the brushes, still the same, when I import brushes or try to delete them affinity crashes and when I open it back up they are installed or deleted but seeing as I have a ton of brushes I want to install this is going to take forever this way and surely it shouldn't be happening this way? I have tried the duplicating of the raster_brushes.propcol that I saw on another post but still no luck. I have un-installed and re-installed to no avail? Also weird, the re-install didn't ask me to activate with my serial number? I am on windows 10 (latest update available to me) 64-bit. i7 core, 16gb Ram, 3.4ghz, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB I don't suppose anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks! Billie
