Mike Swartzbeck Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 When double-clicking a brush on the Brush palette to adjust its size, I get a spinning rainbow beach ball, Photo v2 goes for a lie-down, and I have to Force Quit. Ouch, that's gonna leave a mark. Maybe take care of this after they do something about that non-detachable Toolbar problem...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I double-clicked the top brush in the "sprays and spatters" palette, in order to widen the spread on one of the spray brush tips. Nothing out of the ordinary, just wanting to edit an eraser brush tip. I double-checked on this by going back and doing the same thing in V1 with no problems. Photo V2 seems seriously flawed overall; on top of some really poor UI decisions and sloppy execution — they still haven't dealt with palettes obscuring dialog boxes — this good old-fashioned screeching lock-up when attempting to execute a simple double-click to edit a brush tip has made it a non-starter at this point. So, I'm kinda stuck going back to V1 if I want to be able to edit brush tips, but that's not a real solution. I mean, c'mon; they're gonna fix that, right...?

That's on MacBookPro mid-2012 runing Catalina, with an "obsolete" Wacom tablet using hacked drivers… So it needs more details on your part.

OK, thanks for the info; I'll induce that "freeze" in v2 and choose the Crash Report option this time. Sorry, can't find the DIagnosticReports. What location is your tilde indicating? My (username) folder? The top level of the hard drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Swartzbeck Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 OK, more poop on the Brush Tip Double-Click Rainbow Beach Ball Lockup issue. I just now tried this with a different brush; I went to the "Basic" brush palette, double-clicked a brush tip to edit it, and presto, I got a brush tip adjustment dialog just fine. I haven't tried any of the other brushes yet. ...but when I try the same thing to edit one of the spatter/airbrush tips, it's Lie-Down Time. If you're using Photo V2, try this. I'm getting this in AF Photo V2 v2.0.3, MacOS Monterey v12.6.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, OK; I knew that, just wondering exactly where "home" was in this case. I actually still get confused sometimes about which "Library" folder I'm in.
