Bug 320390

copy/pasted the discussion we had about it as a log to help show what's been discussed already.

15:14:56 - Bollebib: i was wondering bout krita's brush system
15:14:56 - Bollebib: i love the many options ofcourse
15:14:56 - Bollebib: but often times I'm working with a brush,and the settings I have are all fine,but I just wanna add one particularsetting,and I can't,because that's a different brush system...
15:15:06 - Bollebib: unless I'm missing something
15:15:35 - Bollebib: for example if I got a great pixel brush,and I want to smudge with those settings,is there a way to do that?
15:15:36 - boud: yes, that's possible
15:15:45 - boud: eeks
15:15:54 - boud: I was too like typing enter, that was meant for your preview question
15:15:59 - boud: no, it's not possible
15:16:31 - Bollebib: *sadface*
15:17:17 - Bollebib: Maybe there should be one masterbrushsystem....that emulates common settings from different brush systems =D
15:17:26 - boud: best make a wish in bko, then it's at least registered
15:17:40 - boud: well, yes, but it also makes it really hard to add new brush system, if everything has to be in the same system
15:17:47 - boud: that's the problem with corel painter
15:18:09 - Bollebib: well the value of the seperate brush systems is it's selfcontained easier to find
15:18:11 - boud: but it won't be too hard to copy a bunch of settings from one engine to another, as long as those settings are supported in the other one
15:20:23 - Bollebib: the different systems still would have their purpose,imo,because they would be probably better at that function,because it's more focussed
15:20:23 - Bollebib: but I see value in being able to add some of the best settings of those brush settings 

15:24:06 - dmitryK: boud: probably, Bollebib wants only to copy the brush tip settings? Bollebib is it so or you want something more complex?
15:25:38 - Bollebib: mmmh,it's hard to say
15:25:38 - Bollebib: but I assume if brush tips,brush size and other settings would carry over to another brush system that would help
15:25:38 - Bollebib: but I can see it not working due to some systems not certain settings
15:26:30 - Bollebib: but wouldn't that also be more difficult then just to copy some settings over?
15:26:44 - Bollebib: cause I just mean a few common ones like smudge
15:27:10 - Bollebib: the grid and dyna brush and so on,don't think you CAN add those settings to a normal brush
15:27:17 - Bollebib: but smudhe is so common
15:28:28 - Bollebib: Spray seems like it could also be useful to apply to normal brushes
15:28:52 - Bollebib: also "common" feature
15:29:15 - Bollebib: so I dunno what would be the best solution...
15:29:56 - Bollebib: in my mind,adding good options to a m""master" brush system seems like the simplest option

15:33:41 - dmitryK: Bollebib: well, make sharing of the Brush Tip settings is not very difficult. Although it might need some UI design a bit

15:37:04 - Bollebib: that is a possibility
15:37:04 - Bollebib: and that would certainly help in some cases

15:37:45 - Bollebib: but that will not bring over custom pressure or rotation settings,no?
15:37:45 - Bollebib: or by brush tip do you mean everything related to that?
15:38:41 - boud: even the other settigns aren't hard to copy
15:38:45 - Bollebib: it's kind of like the brush modes,actually
15:38:45 - Bollebib: any brush can become an eraser,and it has the same settings
15:38:45 - Bollebib: or can paint behind
15:38:56 - boud: most brush engines use exactly the same option objects
15:39:07 - boud: it's the actual paint strategy that is different per engine

Ack... This needs some good thinking, though.

Maybe "save settings as template" and then  add a "load template" button?

Sorry, we will not in the near future get down to this, it's just not feasible with the available resources.
