Affinity Photo: Sub Brushes settings

[iconoclast]

Hi!

I noticed an annoying problem as I tried to create brushes with a few Sub Brushes. If I create more than one Sub Brush I have to close both Brush Editors first (the one for the Sub Brushes and the main one) to get the settings for one Sub Brush saved before I can adjust the settings for the next Sub Brush. Otherwise the settings will not be saved. That causes a lot of fiddling to get the right adjustments for all the single settings of the Sub Brushes. Finally it's possible to create the brush as you like it, but it is a lot of work, if you have to close and reopen the Editors again and again. Think it's a bug.

Windows 10, Affinity Photo 1.10.5.1342

Hi @iconoclast,

Could you provide a screen recording demonstrating your issue? When trying to replicate this issue, I've found that after editing one sub brush works as expected as well as editing an additional sub brush after the first does save my changes to the second, however the blue selection box doesn't move.

Hi NathanC!

I was afraid that someone would ask me for that. I tried it some minutes ago, but it wasn't easy. At first it seemed to work as it should, but then, after I opened the Sub Editors again, some of the settings again were gone. Possibly especially the settings of Accumulation and Flow are affected.

During the last days I made several experiments with it and it happened again and again. So I was surprised that it seemed to work at first in my last test. But finally it doesn't. Seams to be somehow instable. In addition to that, it also confuses that the highlighting doesn't move and, as it seems, also the preview of the brush on top of the editor doesn't show up correctly.

Will keep an eye on it and report again later. If possible with a screen recording.

OK, I tested it once again. As I did it following a straight plan, it seemed to work as it should first. But as I tried to change some settings after that, jumping from one sub brush to another, it became very confusing. Not only because the highlighting didn't move. Hope you can see it in the video. Needs a little patience.
