Brush '' switching '' bug
Posted: Wed Jul 20, 2016 4:42 pm
Hi
Well, lately my PStorm is displaying some weird errors regarding brush selection. So, this BUG is not happening on random as I thought initially, it's fairly easy to recreate it, all you need to do is select one brush from the brush tab, then select totally different brush from that same panel, also, manually then SWITCH to eraser mode and back to brush and you should see the bug displayed. What It does ( at least for me ) is PStorm flips the selection from LAST brush to PREVIOUS and therefore you cannot use the last brush you wanted to use, only the previous one..soo annoying. So, first thing I need to explain is that I am using eraser toggle setting, meaning, I use the same brush for painting and erasing strokes. Switch from one to another is E key. Now, when I paint, and I switch from paint mode to eraser mode and BACK to paint mode for some reason BRUSH changes ?!?!?..it just automatically switches to some random brush that is not even in the same category of my brush and it totally messes up the work flow..gets really annoying after couple of times.
I think I did however ( while I was writing this ) found a good work-a-round with this issue. You need to open '' define hotkeys '' settings from File tab and navigate to the brush section where you will have option called '' previous brush ''. This should NOT be empty, PStorm doesn't allow it to be empty for some reason, so what I did is I mapped this function to some obscure key on keyboard, key that I don't really use and re-opened PStorm. Works fine for now
I hope you guys can fix this issue, many thx in advance !
Oh, and as a P.S..When I save my brush ( random brush ) and I use that same brush to make some adjustments and '' create '' another variation of that same brush things get really really weird. What PStorm does is, it '' updates '' the FIRST brush I saved with all the changes that I have made to all the other '' variations '' of that brush. I guess it never really SAVED it in the first place, it just left it '' OPEN '' so that anything I DO to all the other brushes that '' share '' same basic brush gets '' recorded onto the state of the '' original '' brush. Wrong way to go about it in my opinion, If I save random brush I want that brush in that particular STATE locked and ready. This bug is somehow related to my custom tab panels and the fact that I had created 5 different brushes, placed them in my custom tab for easy use and then re-opened PStorm and..... tab is all twisted, icons I chose are totally different from those I picked just a moment ago, and of course, NONE of the brushes actually got '' saved '' and are totally different brushes on re-open. Felt seriously pissed after that, cuz I spent some 2 hrs making them
grr..
well, anyway, hope you guys fix this in next update
Peace !
