Description eliotJ 2015-01-16 21:11:07 UTC 
Painting tools (Freehand Brush, Multibrush, Dynamic) don't work in Vector Layer. GUI just doesn't give it clear. Currently it looks like bug... While tries painting on Vector Layer cursor going to freeze... These action should give floating message "This tool doesn't work on Vector Layer". This will work like when you try painting on not visible Painting Layer - GUI gives floating message in left up corner "Layer is invisible".

Reproducible: Always

I talked with Eliot about this. The problem is coming up when he is trying to use painting tools on a vector layer. It isn't giving any type of notification that you can't do that.

Solution: when trying to paint on a vector layer, have a floating message stating that you cannot paint on a vector layer. (or something similar to that)

+1 for floating message when using brush tools on vector layer, many users ask that the brush doesn't work while in reality they are working on vector layer. Encountered quiet a few questions about this.

There are actually two ways of solving this issue: we can add the floating message, or make the freehand brush tool work on vector layers.

ohh making freehand brush tool working in vector layer sound very impressive. don't know how much work it will be though :)
