Compared to Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo has limited support for vector-based paths like those drawn with the Pen Tool. One of those limitations is Photo only allows you to paint with raster-based brushes like those you see in th Brushed panel.

The Texture Line Style is available in Photo in case you are working on a document edited in Designer that already has a Texture applied to one of its paths, like in this AD ink brush.afphoto file. So for example, you could change the stroke width or change it to a solid or dashed style, but you cannot create a path in Photo with any of Designer's texture brushes.

If you are interested in this kind of work, this is a great time to try out or buy Affinity Designer because all the Affinity apps are currently offered at 50% of their normal price, due to the pandemic.

This sometimes happened to me if I used a dotted / dashed line (or maybe pressure? I don't know exactly) - then I couldn't set the brush anymore. Try it on a whole new line.

In Affinity Photo, on a curve created with the Pen Tool?

I posted a reply and realised it was the wrong post so I just left a “.” this is also sometimes used to bump a post.

so, as i understand:
1. this button works only if i have editable file created in Af.Desighner ?

2. then how can i create brush path in Af.Photo? 

3. are those brushes are working also in Af. Desighner as vector brushes?

4. lets say i need create fine artwork with guache brushes, where is a lot of lines and areas created with brush path (path is created with pen as i asume) what would be right approatch?

1. Yes, as R C-R has mentioned if the path/curve has a brush texture applied in Affinity Designer and is then opened/edited in Affinity Photo the texture remains and you can edit the curve but you cannot do anything with the texture until you go back into Affinity Designer.

2. You can’t, if you are trying to work with editable vector brushes (not pixel brushes) you need Affinity Designer, then you can apply brush styles to a path/curve using a pen tool

3. Affinity has Gouache brushes and others, you can also create your own custom brushes, image below shows stock brushes available.

4. If you need editable paths/curves with brush textures you need Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo is essentially a pixel/raster image editor and pixel painting app, Affinity Designer is vector based.
