Hi Luke, thank you! I want to confirm this on our computers, but we are away on vacation. It certainly sounds like some kind of bug. The correct behaviour is that is works like you say with the mouse too.

Thanks for your clear explanation! We’ll take a look and fix it when we are back.

Best,
Niels

Sorry, no. We might do tutorials and guides in writing for the final version, but for the alpha versions we don’t have that I’m afraid.

You might get value from looking at the various alpha release blog posts, because new stuff is described there for each release. Also check out the keyboard shortcuts descriptions.

Best,
Niels

As far as I know, Animation Paper does not run on Chromebook. I do not think any Linux apps will just install and run on ChromeOS. Have you ever succeeded in installing regular Linux software on your Chromebook?

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your suggestion! I don’t think I get it though 😉

Sorry, would you mind rephrasing your explanation? I need to understand it fully.

Thanks,
Niels

Cool! Glad it worked 🙂 I am relaxing, thanks 🙂

You should be able to just move it to the display you want to have it on. You may need to exit the full screen mode to get to the window and then just drag the window to the right display. It will remember the placement next time you open it.

If I remember correctly you can double click inside the full screen view to make it a window. Sorry I am not able to verify this – I am on vacation and only on my phone right now. 😉

Best, Niels

[Niels]

Thank you.

[Niels]

OK, thanks Christ – noted.

[Niels]

Cool! You are most welcome, Christ! And thanks for all your mentions by the way! 😉

[Niels]

Wait… Just looked again. Something weird is going on! 😀

More investigation… maybe it IS a bug…

We’ll get back to you…

[Niels]

OK, it’s not that the backlight doesn’t work. But I can’t decide if there’s a specific part/algorithm of what I intended that is flawed or not. I need to look into the details some more.

Your green layer, called “2”, has this fully opaque area at the bottom 1/4 of the frame. Also your layer opacity is set to 100%. This is why it doesn’t allow what you draw in that part of the frame to be visible. If you either turn that layer off or just lower the opacity (temporarily), you can see your drawings on top through the backlight.

This is an interesting special case. I’ll dive deeper into it soon.

Thanks,
Niels

Just got it now! Thanks Joules!

[Niels]

I haven’t received it. Strange. I checked my spam folder as well. Did you use niels@animationpaper.com?

[Niels]

Hi Joules!

First of all! Very creative use of the limited layer colours! 😉 I had to look twice to get the brown tree trunks 😀

Would you mind emailing your .ap file to me, so I can better investigate what the problem might be? Maybe you found a bug, that we need to fix! My email address is the one you got your activation key from. Thanks very much!

Best,
Niels

OK, thanks for this DD!

Can you tell me a little what you did before it happened? And was it going increasingly slower over time or did it happen suddenly – so it was fast at one undo and then suddenly slow at the next? What was it you were trying to undo?

Thanks for helping out!
