Hi GPainter,

I haven't read this entire thread, only the first few posts, so I may have missed something important.

It sounds like you were doing everything as you should. However, there's a known bug in Painter 12 that has not been fixed even with the SP1 patch installed.

The only solution is to install custom brushes in the application/program folder's > [Workspace Name] > Brushes folder, ideally in their own custom brush library.

The reason for installing custom brushes in their own custom brush library is because loading up an existing brush library with a lot of custom brush categories and brush variants can slow down Painter's performance.

It only takes a few minutes to create custom brush categories and their accompanying brush category .JPG icon image files, then create a custom brush library folder and place both the brush category folders and their (matching name) .JPG brush category icon image files inside the custom brush library.

Remember, if you place them in the User folder you'll continue to have those peculiar extra folders added by Painter and need to be cleaning them up all the time.

Hope this helps. It should, and hopefully Corel will give us another patch one of these days that will fix this, and other, bugs.
