Verve custom brushes

Sadly for me at least I am unable to use custom brushes created in Verve. I realize this is a experimental feature. Unfortunately when I open and use saved custom brushes and try to save a PNG from a project I created with them I get the dreaded windows exception error.

Taron I hope you will consider making the custom brushes work a priority in future updates. In my opinion its the most powerful feature the program could have.

Right now it is to frustrating to work on a project for hours only to see the program crash on saving.

Here is a image I created not directly with a custom brush but I painted with the brush and turned it into a custom canvas texture. I was trying to create a brush effect like powder dropped on the canvas.

I think you would agree you can not make a effect like this with the standard Verve brushes.

What crash? How... that's completely strange to me. The only experimental thing about image brushes is the GUI and the limited options. Saving should never be a problem, let alone crash!?!? If there was trouble, and I will check, this should be an easy fix!
So, never assume that I would be fine with a crash for any reason! Please, explain to me exactly the steps you make to run into a crash like that! :shock:
Looks great, by the way! :ob

Hi Taron
First you are a genius. Thanks for fixing this. I am in Mexico so I am up all night with this problem. That's how important it is for me. I downloaded the new version I did a test worked great. I then saved a project file with my favorite settings and tried to save a png from the project file using the custom brushes crashed again!

Then I went back to the new version I downloaded and did another test it worked again!

So the problem seems to be saving a png from a project file I had saved. It would be great if I could save a png from a project file, but at least it works in the default download version.

I saw your answer from another post I made about this problem where you mentioned fixing something else should I download it again?

Yeah, not sure when you downloaded it, but it's a good idea to download it again and test! I'll also test what you've said, of course, but I'd be a little surprised, if the latest version still did such a crash.

Yeah, no such troubles here, but remember that saving PNG of larger image size will take a while. If it looks like Verve is hanging, just wait unless an error message came up. I still need to figure out how I can make a progress bar during PNG saving procedures. :shrug:
...but, yeah, no crash here after loading a project and saving a png of it.

It was not hanging, the black box saying saving png did not show up at all on saving, just the windows error. I will download it again though. Thanks again! :rock:

Hi Taron
I downloaded Verve again and now it seems to be able to save a png from a project file. You must have fixed something else! :bounce:

Yeah, I believe, I have found the problem and solved it. It's actually a leftover from prior changes, which I have missed. :oops:
Thanks for catching it! :ob :beer:
