Ampersand Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 The Flood fill tool is missing from my toolbar. I am able to select the tool using the keyboard shortcut R As far as I can tell, my toolbar looks like it's still 2.0.0, although i'm using 2.3.0. I noticed this issue when I was looking for the Flood Fill tool a few weeks back, on 2.2, when I found a screenshot of the toolbar that looked different from mine In this post It also seems to me that the gradient and transparency tool are supposed to have been merged into a single toolbar item by now. The screenshot shows what my toolbar currently looks like. The issue is permanent, unrelated to files, present whenever Affinity Designer is open. I have tried restarting Designer but the issue persists. I have tried rebooting my computer but the issue persists. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 2.3.0 and the issue persists. I have also tried docking my toolbar to the side, but the issue persists. I'm using windows 10 hardware acceleration is on I'm using a Wacom 22 pen display Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ampersand Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 This worked, thank you! I was able to add this and other tools I was unaware I have been missing out on. I have never before configured my toolbox. Developers, It would make sense for a toolbox with default settings to update to the current default configuration with each new version of the software.

You have configured it, because you showed it in 2 columns, which is not the default. I cannot easily say if something else is different, but that obviously is. Whether that would be sufficient to prevent the addition of a new tool automatically (or whether it should be), I cannot say. Someone from Serif who would know might comment.

Ampersand Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 As far as I remember, I did tear it loose from the side of the application (double-click), and it became the 2 column window by default. Anyway, that was during 2.0, so it's been a while. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a double click will make it a floating 2-column toolbox, which I think is the default config in "floating mode". walt.farrell 1 Quote Serif user since 2007 on macOS and iPadOS, I focus on complex professional illustrations, seeking efficient workflows, high-quality results, and contemporary usability and user interfaces.
