debbru Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Can anyone tell me if there's a way to move presets into categories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Which “presets”, which “categories”, and what do you mean by “move”? If you can give us a specific example of what you are trying to do then someone might be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 It sounds like you are using the Photo application, and the Crop Tool within that application. Is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbru Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 Can you explain? What is the photo application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 This forum is for the Affinity suite of applications. Photo is one of those applications. Are you using Affinity Photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbru Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 Yes, I'm using Affinity Photo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 If you are using the Crop Tool of Photo, you can click the ‘Cog’ button on the Context Toolbar to see the Presets pop-up. In that pop-up there is a ‘hamburger’ menu button (three little horizontal lines) at the top-right. Press it and choose the “Manage Presets…” option. You should then be able to drag your presets around between the Categories, and do other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly, I can drag any of the built-in (& not removable) Resample presets into different Resample categories, for instance moving one of the "Photographic paper @300 ppi" ones into the "ISO paper sizes (@300 ppi)" category to get something like this: Anybody else seeing the same thing? That seems like a bug or at least a potential source of confusion.

That seems like a bug or at least a potential source of confusion. As confirmed by Garry above I'm able to replicate this on Windows and although I understand the user having control of the order of the preset categories, or the order of the crop preset within the category itself, I wouldn't expect these presets to be move-able between categories, therefore I'm getting this logged with our development team now. I'm also raising the fact that the Crop Preset Manager shows an empty, non-removable or renamable category at the top of the preset category list, which I do not believe should be included shown by default (see below)- I hope this helps R C-R and GarryP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct, but I would personally expect the app to 'hide' this category when not in use - as an empty, non-user controllable category at the top of the list can be off-putting at best and confusing for the user at worst. If you then add a new preset using the '<None>' category option, the unnamed preset category should be shown, with the users preset inside. This is technically By Design within the Preset Manager at this time, so I'll be logging this as a suggestion for our dev team instead I've also updated the above post to be a little clearer in this regard - thanks!
