Assets Panel Should Remember Last Used Assets Category

[- S -]

It is not possible to import assets (*.afassets) directly into the "Default" category in the Assets panel.  Therefore, when importing assets they are placed in their own category beneath it.

The problem is whenever Affinity Photo is restarted, it always defaults back to the "Default" category – which is permanently blank as I have no use for this category.  The only category I use is the assets imported from file (My Assets.afassets) and add new assets to that category.

If the "Default" category is deleted so that only "My Assets" are listed, then instead of "My Assets" becoming the new default, Affinity Photo just adds another "Default" category when restarted and defaults straight back to it again.

I would like the "My Assets" category to be open whenever the Assets panel is opened, instead of it keep changing back to the "Default" category.

Therefore, I think the Affinity Photo Assets panel should open to the last category the user had open, instead of keep reverting back to "Default".

Simple workaround, while you wait: Name your category _My Assets so it sorts first in the list.

Thanks for the tip!

Named them "- My Assets" and the Assets panel now opens to them by default.
