April 6, 2020 at 12:46 pm #2191NielsKeymasterHi Herbert – glad you had a nice surprise there! 😉
Our plan is to have some control over your lines for the next large upgrade (6.0). I am not thinking like spline nodes and tangents, that would not be fitting for Animation Papers sort of “analogue” style. But some kind of nudging would be great I believe. So you can fix less precise lines or do close in-betweens and such by just pushing/adjusting existing lines a little. (again without any degradation of the line).
The requests you listed at the end is all planned for. Especially when we get to do Preferences, there will be room for much of it. And the ability to tear off the X-sheet for another display – you convinced me of that already! 🙂
We are using multithreaded a couple of places, but more important places are possible and will come. In general we have room for optimisations all over the place. So you should hopefully feel the improvements in speed as we get them done.
Thanks very much again!
In reply to: Allow sliding multiple frames
April 6, 2020 at 9:49 am #2188NielsKeymasterOK, I see.
Slide Mode is for doing that (T to toggle between Add Clones mode and Slide mode). But as it is in the current alpha, you can only slide one original at a time. But it works as you say, by not affecting what comes later down the timeline.
We will do support for sliding a whole selection at the same time for one of the next alphas.
Thank you, Pharan!

In reply to: I can’t draw
April 6, 2020 at 9:36 am #2186NielsKeymasterI’ll investigate and get back to you here, Max!
In reply to: Tested out the program with this stream-of-consciousness scribble. Very fun!
April 6, 2020 at 9:22 am #2184NielsKeymasterHaha! 🙂 That’s great 🙂 Thanks a lot for showing, Nick.

April 6, 2020 at 9:20 am #2183NielsKeymasterWow, thank you very much Nick for those excellent points! I love all of them. I’ll do my best to try to implement them in a fitting manner. Well, not me exactly – Frederik my lead programmer! He’s the man!
In reply to: Alt+F not working
April 6, 2020 at 9:09 am #2182NielsKeymasterOK, thanks. It aught to work. I’ll check up on it and put it on our bugs list…
In reply to: I love the new Animation Paper alpha!
April 6, 2020 at 8:55 am #2175NielsKeymasterThanks a lot Jerry! Yeah, the cursor is a bit too transparent – others have said that too. We’ll fix that for the next update.
In reply to: X-sheet layers
April 6, 2020 at 8:52 am #2174NielsKeymasterThanks Craig. Yes, Rodney is correct! (Thanks Rodney)
Here’s a pic to show the buttons to grab – drag left/right to reorder layers…
In reply to: Windows – Not Creating New Layers on Timeline?
April 6, 2020 at 8:27 am #2170NielsKeymasterYeah, I agree it could be clearer. But I’m very glad you found out. Layers go horizontal in the X-Sheet – Drawings (Frames) go vertical. Drawings in sequence is what make the animation. But I know you get that 🙂
Anyway thanks for your messages!
In reply to: Variable Pen Pressure?
April 5, 2020 at 10:42 pm #2150NielsKeymasterVery strange! We’ll investigate – and maybe come back to you Alain with questions to try to figure this one out. Thanks!
In reply to: will not draw
April 5, 2020 at 10:38 pm #2149NielsKeymasterThat’s great! Thanks Michael!
In reply to: I can’t draw
April 5, 2020 at 10:25 pm #2148NielsKeymasterHi Max. Sorry to hear you are having problems. It does work with Huion tablets. But people with various hardware report similar stories to yours.
Did you see this? Please try it and write back if it helped or not. Thank you!!
In reply to: First Thoughts
April 5, 2020 at 7:51 pm #2143NielsKeymasterAs soon as we get customizing the tool bar and speed-dials done – you will be able to chose witch functions (icons) should be in there and where. This will make life much easier for you I’m sure. 🙂
I do get you point about all the layers. I will see if we can do some kind of folder structure. Thanks for convincing me. 🙂
A Paint Layer will be a layer that is suitable for 24 bit coloring (plus 8 bit alpha of course). Right now the layers are designed for linework and as such only 8 bit (256 shades of the chosen layer color). Paint Layers will work very similarly to line layers, but you can use any color, stroke for stroke, and when filling areas, – like you can in any normal paint app.
About the floating selection turning off when stamping: We should consider an alternative way of stamping that stamps it but keeps it floating too. Noted.
