Photo 'Current Layer & Below'

[keypix]

Hi

How do I prevent the clone tools from defaulting to 'Current Layer' all the time?

Hi keypix,
There's no way to prevent this currently. I'm moving this thread to the Feature Requests section.

Thanks, and I hope to add that it would be great for all tools to remember settings between sessions of Affinity Photo.

As I always want to do my inpainting non-destructive on a new layer and have to change this questionable setting I'm with the OP to change that.

For me, I don't understand why only the inpainting tool always defaults back to current layer only. The healing brush and clone stamp tool don't. I'm sure there was a reason for this decision for this, but I at least wish we had an option to have it stay or default back to current layer only.

no news about this feature?

+1 on this - have to change this every time I start up. It would be nice if all the tools would recall the last settings.

 

On Windows 10 clone and inpainting always  revert back to Current Layer.

Pen tool - is it possible to keep rubber band selected?

+1 on this. Super annoying, when it always switches back, while editing a stack of photos...

It should simply remeber it's state.

Grrrr.

+1 for this and also for the crop tool to be able to default to "original ratio" rather than "unconstrained".

Having to reset these every time is irritating to say the least!

+1000 times.

Very disappointed that the release of V2 hasn't done anything to address these basic niggles.  Although it's a fantastic program in many ways having to make the same adjusts to tools time after time is just ridiculous!

+1 for this feature. 99% of the time I am inpainting on a brand new layer to not destroy my original photo below. This tool should default to "Current Layer & Below".

Upvoting this. This is one of the most frequent clicks in Affinity Photo that I could easily live without.

Ditto.

It is perpetually annoying and inexplicable – or, at least, unexplained. I have a suggestion for a solution, but it's one part of another overarching suggestion, so I'll have to start a new post for it at some point.
