Proposal
The contextual menu of the vector brushes has uniquely the functions to change the values of design parameters.
 
When I call the editor from the brush dock the Contextual is complete and is possible to create a new brush, but if you are working in the Brush Vector Editor is not possible to create or duplicate it.
 
I propose to have a Contextual Menu more complete and interactive similar to the options that we have in Brush Dock Dialogue

 +
[3] To raster kind, an example, instead in Elliptical, Feathered... "Create an elliptical brush with feathered edges" > "Create a .gbr raster elliptic brush with feathered edges. "
 +

[4] To Custom Brush, we need to create a new script to create custom raster brushes. IMO, this script must be capable of creating an empty .xcf archive with a feature to set the size layer, the layer number, if is grayscale or RGB, transparent or white background.

Parametric Brushes

Current Editor

Editor with irregular polygon shape and additional fields

Vector-brush-editor-with-irregular-polygon.jpg

Additional Irregular Polygon Shape

Add the shape of an irregular polygon into the settings of parametric brushes linked to a Library. The Library of the polygons could be in .svg following a precise format (dimension and colour). Another idea could be to use the Path Tool to create a small library to use in this editor as an irregular shape.
The button irregular polygon imports these shapes on the editor where is possible to modify radius, hardness, aspect ratio and spacing.

Additional Fields

Add fields to Author, License, Tags and Comments (The Figure does not present the 'Comments' field, I will update it soon).

Proposal

Use the two levels in a way to organize the tasks between creation and interaction to edit, duplicate and delete them.

Contextual Menu - Brushes

First Level

Brushes Menu [1] 	  >
Parametric... 		  [2]

Custom Brush...		  [4]

Messages and Scripts In each message box of [2] and [3] options, when we have mouseover, we need to write or repeat the kind of brush that will be created, for instance: [2] To parametric kind, "Create .vbr parametric brush." [3] To raster kind, an example, instead in Elliptical, Feathered... "Create an elliptical brush with feathered edges" > "Create a .gbr raster elliptic brush with feathered edges. " To dialogue of windows of the scripts, we need to identify the kind of brush that we are creating, raster or parametric. [4] To Custom Brush, we need to create a new script to create custom raster brushes. IMO, this script must be capable of creating an empty .xcf archive with a feature to set the size layer, the layer number, if is grayscale or RGB, transparent or white background. The message of the 'mouseover' option could be: "Create a custom raster brush."


Second Level Brushes Menu [1] > \_Edit Brush [5] --- \_Duplicate Brush \_Copy Brush Location \_Show in File Manager \_Delete Brush --- Refresh Brushes

[5] a conditional option: if is parametric send it to Parametric Editor, if is raster open the archive as an image.

The ideal naming of the second-level options is to have the name of asset in the each voice, for instance: instead to have a simple '\_Edit Brush' to have \_Edit 'Brush Name #1' In this way, we can avoid making wrong choices.
