inpainting tool brushes and other options

[barninga]

Today I suddenly found that the inpainting tool had its hardness control set at 20% and grayed out. After some investigating, I found that its brush was set to a texturing brush I used in a previous editing session. I chose the basic brush with the inpainting tool selected, and the hardness control became available again. Now, a couple of reflections about that:

1) the inpainting tool seems to remember any setting between sessions, even if affinity photo is quit and restarted. The only setting that is reset to the default for every single image apparently is the choice "current layer / current layer and below". This seems to be inconsistent, also because other tools (i.e.: che clone tool) remember the setting used last time the tool was used. This partial reset approach is confusing.

2) the brush option window that opens clicking "more" does not show the name/category of the brush. It would greatly help to immediately see what brush is active for the active tool, and even more when similar brushes are used time after time.

I hope the two point abowe will be taken into consideration by the developers. Adding other users' experience to this thread could help.

tahnk you for your attention
