Bogdan Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hello, Is it possible for Affinity Photo to remember the previous settings for the tools I'm using? For example: Pen tool: I always use a Cyan stroke of 1pt and Smart Mode. Each time I start Affinity Photo or open a new file, I have to make these settings again. Thank you!

R C-R Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 You can set most (but not all) settings as object defaults using the defaults system built into the Affinity apps. See for example https://affinity.help/photo/en-US.lproj/pages/DesignAids/objectDefaults.html.

ynnek Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I am also getting this issue. I select the pen tool and set stroke and fill colours. I draw my shape. I draw a second shape and all appears to be well until I make my second click and the fill colour disappears to blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the right end of the Pen Tool's context toolbar there is a "Use Fill" checkbox. (If your window is too narrow to display it, you may have to click on the ">>" icon at the right end of that toolbar to see it.) Is there a tick in that checkbox?

ynnek Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Ah fantastic, got it. Thank you for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogdan Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 Thank you @R C-R! Useful thing. For the Pen everything gets saved with the exception of the Mode. Which is actually kind of a pity because the Smart Mode is The Best ! (maybe as a future development?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogdan Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 How do I put it on the wish list? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
