Selecting Fill Texture from the Preview Window

When in the "Fill" menu i think it would be more intuitive to selectt the fill texture from the upper preview window and the "Select Fill" button. Swamping between "stroke" and "fill" would switch whether you are accessing the stamp or texture menu from the preview. Right now you can select the stroke from the button and the preview. I think it would be better if that was consistent

    When the preview is clicked, the stroke and texture catalog will directly open.

    We also added a button to open the options panel.

    Adding my comment from the other post:

    • When Stroke is checked we could show all Path Assets containing a Stroke

    • When Fill is checked, we show all Path Assets having a Fill set and Textures.

    • When both are checked we show all Path Assets and Textures.

    Add an Asset type filter to filter Path Assets and Textures


    With this we could remove the Stroke and Fill catalog selector in the Stroke & Fill options, which would simplify the Tool UI

    The Path Asset can contain a Stroke and a Fill, so the upper preview let's you select preset Path Assets that could contain both a stroke and a fill.

      Philipp: that makes sense. But from a consistency stand point the way to adjust the stroke and fill are different with this in place. Might just be something we have to get used to but I wanted to point it out. I find myself clicking the preview to change the fill and being confused for a second why the stamp catalog opened. The standard brush tool reinforces this tendency as it works by hitting the preview to change the texture.
