Release id #122077 : Pixcen
Hi all!
I'm opening this forum for Pixcen. Please post your feature requests and bug reports here if possible to keep the comment section clean(er).
As of this weekend (2013/10/12) I have hopefully fixed a crash (as reported by Dr.Science & Bamse), changed some menu items and implemented mirror/flip, shift and rotate on selected areas. To be uploaded. |

One issue that Lavazza brought to my attention today. It's not really a bug but it's frustrating enough.
If you try to paste a full image into an empty Pixcen image (multi-color in this case) you might get unnecessary color overflows or color truncation if the source image have a different background color.
Fix this by first unlocking the background color in the cell window before pasting. This will allow Pixcen to change the background color as needed. It got some smart algorithms to change the global image colors as needed but it will only do so if it's allowed to.
Once done, it's good practice to lock the background color again to avoid surprises when pixeling.
Check the cell window section in the manual pages for more info. I should probably add more descriptive info about this there. |

A late update, there was a bug fix revision uploaded a few days ago. Pixcen should have nagged you about it by now or next time you start it.
r57
* Fixed for issue 29, format identification issue for non standard Koala.
* Fix for issue 28, wrong mask with multi-color sprites.
Sprite multi-color bit masks are now correct but if you have some old gpx files with sprite projects, they might look funny. I hope no-one gets these issues. |

Thanx!
A bug that occurs on my XP-install is when using fill, Pixcen won't update the fill in the preview window before using the fill again or another tool. |

Guess you haven't seen my comment on the entry, therefore here it is again:
"It would then be cool if there would be a predefined 160x200 (or 320x200) pixel selection window, which you can move over the larger converted image to choose which part to save as Koala. Great tool btw, but I think you have heard this before. :-)"
Or did I just miss this option? |

Thanx! But one more thing - it irritates me that the the fill (now) only works once and you go back to normal painting mode straight after. If I want to fill several areas, I should be allowed to without pressing G all the time.
Also, I would really like a total colour-replace fill! Plleeeeeaaaaase! :) |

bugjam: Saw you comment/request some time ago but forgot to reply. This is planned at some point together with improved import features.
grasstust: The current fill is a hack since it was a very popular request. The plan is to have a tool window with pen, brushes, fill, shapes and proper cursor icons for the tool selected.
At some point after X2014 I hope to give Pixcen my full attention again.
Edit: Meanwhile, I hope to meet and chat with some of you at X2014. I'd love to get more input first hand. |

I actually found this tool just recently to be very helpful,
from doing a rather big scrolling image, visible on X this year
(Despite all the fantastic features of the still awkward Timanthes (atleast for me)
which handles it all perfectly safe).
However, what might annoy me is that there are no tools, such as lines,
circles, arches, dither fill or the most simplest,
to let one actually change color of the char-/pixel- grid?
If one would to implement such an easy task, it would be the latter.
One cannot say when drawing with dark gray, where one char stops and the other begins. |

Hi Joe,
All fair requests!
The next big update will target higher level drawing tools among other things.
The grid needs some customization options or I can probably make it adjust the grid brightness automatically.
I'm going to have to spend some month of my life after X bringing Pixcen up a level. I call it a low level pixel editor but in time I hope it will have all the higher level drawing features you would expect.
See you at X? |
