Lost all brushes

Post by JoseConseco » Wed Jan 25, 2017 10:24 pm

I tried to import new brushes with option - 'replace'. New brushes were imported, but everything else, in all categories was deleted. Not cool... had quite a bit of cutom presets.

Yes, this function replaces whole brushes library... Paintstorm shows a warning message:

Better to export all brushes from time to time.

Well yes, but 'replace' word suggest the old brush will be replaced with new one for example if the name of brush is the same.
I would change thew way it works by adding two options:
- delete all - clears all brush settings.
- replace - would not delete all brushes -> just replace old brush if name is the same.

It's harder system... for example, you have some brush with name "MyBrush", and download brush pack of your friend and he also calls one of his brush "MyBrush"... For Paintstorm it's a different brushes... any brush has a random id like 364653784, and the name don not matter. You can import a same category several times
