Affinity Designer: which brush did I use?

[Sunil Wu]

I'm getting more used to Designer. It's a bumpy ride but I'm feeling increasingly empowered.

I've been doodling using pixel layers.
While I've been doodling, I've been playing with different brushes - some that I've imported from a website and one set that I imported from an older version of Designer.

Sometimes I look at an area of the canvas that I'm playing on and I like what I'm seeing.

I've obviously stroked or sketched or coloured-in with a brush. But I don't recall which brush I used.
Is there a way to interrogate the artifact on the page and discover which brush was used to create it?

Thanks.

Hi Sunil Wu,

If you still have the brush applied to the brush tool it should show highlighted in blue in the brushes panel with the brush tool selected.

Thanks

Unfortunately, no. In version 2.1, the currently selected/used brush is highlighted, but this does not say anything about previously used brushes, or perhaps the possibility of modifying their parameters. Which is of course a shame, and it is an inconsistency in the behavior of the application - with Stroke and Color, additional editing works without any problems.

@Callum Thanks for the reply.

I've been switching between brushes. 
What I'm trying to do is discover which brush I was using for a particular layer.

@Pšenda seems to be saying that this isn't possible at the moment. But I'd find it enormously helpful.

I'm pretty much a beginner when it comes to digital illustration, but I'm wondering if people more seasoned than I would find such a feature useful.
If so, could this be suggested to developers?

Thanks.
