P: Custom brushes organization/sub-menus

This solves your problem: http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/phot...

I agree with the brush system being revamped but another thing that I hope adobe tweek up is the amount of undos that you can make. I find it really a pain in the arse to be limited to only one undo and constantly going back to the history palet in order to go back a few steps.

What do you guys think about it?

Cheers!

Hi David, the menus here are meant as an example and are at the smallest size thus looking a bit cluttered. In practice the same Stroke mode window would look something like this

That is why i suggest resizing and autofold options. It looks quite tidy to me and folders are a simple and long needed addition.

Dont get me wrong I love gavriils ideas and a filtering system would be great, im just trying to be realistic as to how many new windows, panels and functions we can realistically request.

Additionally I have a bit of an issue with the tagging system, though it is great it will force users to go through a long, slow process of accurately tagging every single brush for them to show up in the filters

Reuse the same shortcuts saved to different Workspaces. Or the same basic Workspace named according to the shortcuts saved with it. Try it. It works fine.

These changes need to happen! Adobe, hear us out!! I fully support you guys!!

More and mode, I think that a Pie-type contextual menu, where you have 8 choices around, that you could select with the mouse, or using a number in the keypad, giving you another sub-menu or a different brush/preset. Going to the menus is further and further away with the screen resolutions soon switching to 4K, and the keyboard shortcuts are almost all taken. Close to the mouse, so we stay focused on the work!

Chris, could right-click be used as a modifier?

Here is some of the images from my blog post; please to see the description of each read the 'longer' explanation there : http://www.hexeract.net/blog/2014/2/6...

They key point is to avoid useless menus and cluster-looking entities, I feel some of the other options provided present too much visual noise.

Because all the shortcuts are already in use, and selecting a brush means something in the brush palette (so multi-select, or drag and drop don't really work).
