Alex_M Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Hi, There is a problem with undoing the first brush stroke in a mask in Affinity V2. Undoing it causes the whole mask layer to be deleted which shouldn't happen. There's no such issue in Photo V1. Please check the video comparison below.

Frozen Death Knight Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 @Alex_M Deactivate the option "Automatically undo and redo assistant actions" (added in V2). It will solve the problem for you. Alex_M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_M Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 That did it. Thanks! Why would this be the default though? It feels counterintuitive.

I guess it's because people asked for it? The Assistant is pretty unconventional to other similar softwares, so any default would feel a bit weird I believe.

Staff MEB Posted November 15, 2022 Staff Share Posted November 15, 2022 Thanks for the report @Alex_M. I'm logging this to be looked at. Not sure that should be the solution @Frozen Death Knight. The mask layer was created by the OP manually, not the Assistant. What if i just want to remake the first brush stroke until it's right? Do I have to create a mask again every single time?

Frozen Death Knight Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 @MEB I think the reason why the Assistant considers this an "Assistant action" is because of this: So because of the wording, it means undoing anything on this list will undo simple stuff like adding a mask as well. An unintended consequence perhaps, but it is doing what it's supposed to. Perhaps allowing people to uncheck this option for each individually to give users more control would be more desirable? Or rewrite the wording of this and make an exception would be preferable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 15, 2022 Staff Share Posted November 15, 2022 Another colleague logged this already some time ago. It's definitely weird/unexpected. I've updated/bumped the report to bring it up to devs attention. Thanks both for your feedback.
