RosieH Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Since updating to 1.8 many of the brushes have disappeared including the paint brushes I use most often. This has happened with previous updates and I don't know why you insist on removing brushes. Is it possible to go back to the previous version? I also need to know if the paint brushes have also been removed from Affinity Designer before I update it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Chris B Posted March 9, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 9, 2020 RosieH, A number of people have asked us about the older brushes being removed and I've been uploading them to Dropbox so they can be downloaded. Can you recall which brush pack you needed? Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieH Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 I need the "painting brushes". I went through all this before with a previous update. Why do you think the older brushes are obsolete when people like me still use them? Am I to assume that you have removed them from Designer as well?

Staff Chris B Posted March 9, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hi RosieH, I've uploaded the legacy brushes to this Dropbox folder. This includes Photo raster brushes as well as Designer raster and vector brushes:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pbuwnln18s81vd8/AACDmy9p7qIFj57tZmqvOH6aa?dl=0 Apologies for the inconvenience.

Sygnia Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hi, I just tried to go back to previous version, because of these bugs: Sadly I figured out, that I cannot load my files I need to work with, which I saved in the 1.8. version. I undestand that it makes sense, but is there any way to bypass it? The two bugs above are giving me a lot of frustration + Windows ink influencing my express menu behavior (which may be on Wacom, but it wasn´t an issue in the previous version of Affinity), so I would like to switch back until it is resolved.

Staff Chris B Posted March 10, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hello Sygnia, It is not possible to open 1.8 files in 1.7 as there could be features that 1.7 doesn't understand and could break the document. I have been unable to reproduce the freezing issue and I have tried it countless times in the past week. As Affinity is now a Windows Ink app, it needs to be enabled for many features to function. I checked Microsoft Whiteboard that is also a Windows Ink enabled app and that suffers from the same express menu issue. I think this is something Wacom seriously need to look at addressing.

Sygnia Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Thank you for looking into it, Chris. I found a way around - not very convenient, but it is okay if there is no text and layer blending. I did save files to PSD, which can be opened in the previous version of Affinity. I understand that Affinity team is not responsible for a bug on wacom´s side, but in the end, for me as an user the previous version allows me to work more smoothly. So I will rollback for now and contact Wacom´s forums in hope that they can fix the issue. I would like to help with the freezing issue, but I also wasn´t able to notice, how to reproduce it. But I only have observed this - in 1.7.3 (or 1.7.+) when the focus problem with brush tool accured, it also froze the transformation tool. In 1.8. the tranformation freeze seems to occur independently on the brush tool problem, and also when I am staying within the app, without changing focus. It happened to me very often when I was adding photos to the scene, or copying existing layers and working with them, I would say that even as often as every 2-5 minutes. Although there probably is some pattern, it just seem to happen on random and I do not know what the steps to reproduce it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobyte Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I also go back to version 1.7.3. Please fix the tablet problem soon. This is unbearable. By the way, If you go back to 1.7.3 you've to deinstall the actual version. Cheers Jacobyte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted March 11, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 11, 2020 Hey, we have decided to add Windows Ink as a toggle option. This will be available in Preferences > Tools (I believe—haven't seen the beta build myself yet) so please keep an eye out for the next 1.8 Windows beta. carl123 and PaulAffinity 1 1 Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sygnia Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Thank you very much for this! But I need to ask, will turning it off also turn off pen pressure, or does it mean that it will just work the same way as in 1.7.3.? (pen pressure works, but it doesn´t cause problem with jumping express menu and lag on sliders etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ingram Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 The 1.8.1.610 build has now added a toggle between Windows Ink and WinTab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
