Is it possible to display name of brush preset in the history instead of same faces of “Freehand Brush Stroke”?
It quite handy in some situations. For example: after some painiting I decided to lighten up some parts with overlay brush – so I make 2 - 6 strokes, and than I wish to compare or refuse from decision and make operations in “Undo History” dock – with exact name of preset I see when I started to use overlay brush in a moment, but now I need to use trial-and-error method to find first stroke with overlay brush.
I like the idea too, has happened often enough I continued editing with the wrong brush.
While it wouldn’t always help me to undo stuff when I forgot to swap back the brush, having hundreds of “Freehand Brush Stroke” entries certainly doesn’t help much.
I wonder how hard it would be to offer more info (in a tooltip or so), like the layer, the bounds of the stroke and such, that information must already be in the undo stack in some form. I think I’ll put that on my list to do when I get bored…
The use of this feature would be to easily see how much to undo (all strokes I did with the current brush), not which brushes I used last, which is what the Brush History Docker does.
reminds me, I still got this half-done patch here that adds options to the brush history, putting the last used one always on top is one of them.
But so far I have no feedback on how/where to add the configuration UI for it, it’s only configurable by editing kritarc so far
