Changing default "active tool size"

[sr258]

Hi,

Up until a few days ago, the "active tool size" in Flameshot was set to a reasonable default value. The arrows and lines were fairly slim and this is fine. Now the default value of "active tool size" is very large and arrows become really big:

I haven't found any way to change the "active tool size" default value. I'm not sure if I changed it accidentally or if the new setting is the new default. Anyway, I'd like to permanently change this value. Changing it in the menu only works for the current screenshot.

I use the Snap version of Flameshot on X11:
Flameshot v12.1.0 ()
Compiled with Qt 5.15.3
linux: 5.15.0-43-generic
ubuntu-core: 20

Thanks a lot. Must have used the mouse wheel accidentally!

Just in case you haven't tested these already:

• you can change the tool size while you are drawing something. For example, while you are creating an arrow and still holding down the left mouse button, you can scroll to change the size
• you can change the size later for any object. Just deselect the active tool (if anything is active), then click on what you want to change. When selected, scroll
• you can change the size to an exact number just by typing it. For example try the following:
  1. select the arrow tool
  2. type 12 (note the size indicator at the top left of your monitor)
  3. draw an arrow

My 2 cts, in a previous version it would remember the size of arrows I use. I think it was usefull, because most of the time I use the same arrows size... so now I have to do a little extra thig, use the mouse wheel... not a big deal. But would be nice to save between snapshot the previous size for example, or have a "save as default" in "Active tool size" left menu.

It should still remember the tool size. That part has not changed. Whoch version are you using, how did you install it, and what is your OS?

Also as a side-tip, you can select a tool, and type the value you want (between 1 to 99), and the size would change. I have explained multiple methods here:

Thanks for getting back to me.
I was on linux mint latest, with default included Flamshot 12. Now I have just installe the flatpack 14.0.O and I get the same behavior.
I have setup a workaround, I added the "+" button to increase each time my arrow. I am using so much this great tool any speed up is welcome in my workflow !
