Some of these points (like 5.) are already reported in other bug reports. Others are quite valid. However, shortcuts really are a problem -- for instance, we use some number keys for canvas rotation, not zoom, because that is standard in Blender... Yep, sorry for that - I tried to gather them in one report because they are closely related in terms of workflow. For the number keys example, I think the opacity control is far more important. The canvas has already a free rotation mode that is a great asset, and also option to rotate in 90 degrees angles. I would rather see the addition of 45 degrees to that, and free up the numbers - or a similar precise control - for opacity. For me it was very strange why there was even the addition of this control while an important one like opacity is missing. There are two main controls while painting: Size and opacity. -Size is controlled by two shortcuts, and this makes sense: It is fast and also interactive, because you are able to see what you are doing as the brush tip gets bigger or smaller. -Opacity is another story: Even if I have the panel visible, I need to see the slider every time I change the opacity, otherwise I have no way telling how opaque or transparent my stroke will be, until I apply it on the canvas. Adding this into a painting session it can be quite distracting as one has to do it all the time. Maybe another way can be found, like an instant display of the percentage above the brush tip while changing the opacity value? This is experience from my end-user perspective of course, I have no idea how hard it is to alter this. -Apologies for the long response, but I think this is a very important point for a painting program Thanks for all the hard work :) Well, opacity is controlled by 'i' and 'o' by default -- shortcuts chosen by artists for usability. Size by [ and ], lighter and darker by 'l' and 'k'. Giving more feedback on canvas for opacity is an interesting idea... We have shortcut profiles now. Some modifiers will always be different by default, but they are configurable. |
