John’s brushes may not be set up to install with the Brush Manager. That’s precisely one of the problems I’m looking to solve with the intention of this post.

I tried to install a set of John Derry’s brushes that i got off his website and got your above message about Brush Sharing Gone Wrong Let’s Fix It. I have used your site to install both Marilyn Sholin’s brushes and Den’s Oil brushes with no problems other than after installing painter won’t open without telling me that the Brush category icon jpeg must 30 x 30 pixels but, after i close that 3 times it opens fine. Other thatn that works fine but, John Derry’s won’t open.

Hi Marcia–

The new version, starting with the first release of the 0.6 series brought the possibility to install to a completely custom location. You can set it to any location you’d like and as long as it is a location Painter recognizes, it will work. Install it and give it a go and let me know if it works the way you need it.

Chris, I have not been using your very useful tool because I do not want my external brushes loaded in the Painter Brush Folder. I have them in their own folder so that I can access them in any version of painter, especially a new version without transferring them.They are just sitting in their own folder ready to be loaded. I wonder if you could make a version of the Brush Manager where the user would select the destination?

Thanks for all the good work you do.
