Custom brush category

[pixelburger]

I have a few favorite brushes in a custom category that I created. How can I make this category open as the default when selecting the brush tool?  Thanks

Hi @pixelburger

As far as I know, we cannot set default brushes on iPad. It always resets to “Acrylics” after closing the document.

If the iPad version works like the Desktop version, it shows the first category alphabetically. If so, just pick an appropriate category name, such as _My Favorites, that will sort before Acrylics.

In Affinity Designer on iPad, the Brushes Studio always defaults to the Acrylics category even though I have a category whose name begins with a ‘2’. In Affinity Photo on iPad, the Brushes Studio always defaults to the Basic category even though I have categories (including ‘Acrylics’) whose names begin with ‘A’.

Sorry for missing your reply @walt.farrell

@Alfred already explained that we’re always starting with Acrylics brushes, and that there’s no workaround for it. All the best!

Only in Affinity Designer!

This. On my iPad, the default is Basic.
