Brush Names: Need a tooltip to know which brush


Recommended Posts

Hi, I just wanted to share something that may go unnoticed, but it's time consuming.

1.  When you select a brush > it highlights in the list

2.  Click inside the canvas > highlight removes. 

3.  Then you don't know which brush was selected.  You have to hover over the brushes list again. 

When there are similar styles, many brushes can look the same in the list.  I would suggest a setting in brushes panel to turn on/off a "BRUSH TOOLTIP".  When activating the tooltip, on the canvas it goes away, then hovering on the pasteboard, the tooltip shows again - giving  the name of the activated brush.

Hope this makes some headway in the wishlist.  I have a heck of a time seeing each and every brush image.  

 

(Haha, I just noticed it's doing right now in this editor when I'm not typing :-)  When I move my mouse the tooltip is showing me where I am.  LOL)

Thanks - G.J.

Hi

This issue does annoy me, I am new to Affinity and there are so many brushes I forget the names of them and the brush list does lose highlight especially when using keyboard shortcuts. Pressing more brings up the brush editor, but this doesn't have the brush name either.

I would suggest that there should be some way of permanently highlighting or marking which brush is selected.
