I posted this on a pre-1.8 thread, since that's where the problem was posted by another user. There the problem was acknowledged as caused by a software glitch. If that's still true, the bug persists in the latest Affinity Photo version--so here's its description again. I have Wacom Intuos pen tablet PTH-651 with newest Wacom driver 6.3.38-3, newest Catalina 10.15.3 Mac OS, and newest Affinity Photo 1.8.1. The adjustment layer presets do not respond at all to my Wacom pen, except one preset that twice turned my document red all over, with no functioning alternatives. The preset thumbnails do respond to my clicking with my Bluetooth mouse, but not to anything I do with the Wacom pen. I bought Affinity after the Catalina upgrade trashed my Photoshop CS6. I removed and then upgraded Wacom's driver so it would play nice with the latest iMac upgrade. That helped. But the threesome of Affinity, Catalina, and Wacom still have the functionality issue described above. Is the malfunction due to unresolved incompatibility between the OS, Wacom, and Affinity software? If so, will Affinity resolve it, maybe in tandem with Wacom designers? Apple upgrades may have caused the glitches experienced by Wacom and Affinity, but Apple seems only to shrug off the messes it makes of nonproprietary apps, shifting the burden of functionality onto the app designers. If I'm experiencing the result of a software bug, I look forward to Affinity and/or Wacom upgrades that make everything work as intended. If what I'm encountering user error, please advise how to correct it. Thank you for your help!

Coming from Audio Production with Logic Pro I often move from Laptop to MacPro and vice versa. Making changes to Plugins and settings in creative work is common and essential. Saving these as presets is important for the workflow. They can be easily found in the Plugins Folders, copied and transferred and sometimes shared with other musicians. Same happens to Affintiy Products: I have the Affinity-files in dropbox and change my working location to a different computer - but now I have to dig deep to find my just made presets in the hidden Library and copy them over. And then vice versa when I made new presets on the new machine. What do you think about including such a great feature like in professional Audio Production to Affinity products? Would add a great feature for workflow and presets could be also shared with the community.
