Hello and happy Christmas holidays to everyone! 🎄

I would like to report a possible bug. I am referring to version 2.3.0 of Affinity Designer for Windows.

In the pixel brush panel I no longer see the option to rename brushes. As you can see from the screenshot, other options are also disabled. For other brush categories the options are available, so I don't understand what this is due to...

I have always used the option to rename, because I copy-paste to remember the name of the brush used 😁

Thanks in advance

 

Bye!

The options are available for other brushes, but not for this particular set, so I would assume that it isn't a bug, it's just down to something Frankentoon have done to stop their brushes being renamed.

Or, possibly, it is not available for brush packs installed from the Affinity Store, as that one was. 

You could probably Copy the brush to a category of your own, and rename it there.

I think you're right, it's not just Frankentoon, several other sets of brushes from the store are the same. (I haven't checked all of them!)

Thanks for the answers.

I don't think it's due to a Frankentoon setting, as I've been using their brush sets for a long time and have always renamed them. I'm sure something happened after the last AD update.

However, I tried importing the Splat Tones brush set by downloading it to my hard disk. And so the options work again!
There is something I am missing in the icons next to the brush set....

However, for now I have solved it this way. Thanks again for the help :)

The icon for the one you've marked in red indicates it was installed from the Store via the Account dialog. The green one says you imported it manually, and it's linked with the other applications.

Ah, well, thank you very much! Importing the brush sets manually solves the problem.
