Congratulations  :)

Thank you very much for your effort.

Well, I want first the program to be tested before I release it as a binary, because after that, it will be spread over the Internet, and I want the first version of layered LazPaint to be sufficiently stable. So please try to make the program explode !

The Layer Window is not visible by default because it is a bit complicated. I do not want to frighten users. On the other side, maybe the could think that layers cannot be used. That's why I added a button in the tool bar to show the layer window. Do you suggest that it is not obvious enough?

Paint.NET has layers defaulted to visible too so i think its safe for most people to see the layers window

That's why I added a button in the tool bar to show the layer window. Do you suggest that it is not obvious enough?

maybe adding a tooltip with text that says "Layers Window" can make it more obvious

btw if you want more feature suggestion i can suggest having text outline thickness setting, and yes the text tool also has an error it says "Access Violation", im using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit i compiled LazPaint 5.0 with this lazarus-1.0.6-fpc-2.6.0-win32.exe

the layers window is acting fine and nice that you added "Blending Modes" on it thats really cool  :D

Alright, let it be visible from the beggining.

Oh, maybe the action list replaced it, ok that's fixed.

Yes, it's on my todo list

Even with latest BGRABitmap?

Alright, can you tell me where the error occurs ?

To do this, you need to :
- switch to debug mode for LazPaint (this is in the top left toolbar when you open this project)
- and to change compilation options of BGRABitmapPack :
   - open package, click Options
   - in Code generation, set Level 1 optimization (-O1) and uncheck register variables (-Or)
   - in Linking, click the first check box to generate debugger info

Then try to produce the bug, and the line should be highlighted.

Here is version 5.1 :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazpaint/files/src/

- when layer is invisible, layer cannot be edited
- text tool : text alignment, pressing return key go to next line
- checking for newer version online using LNet
- safe limits for image size and undo
- less memory usage

This version seems ok for me, so tell me if there is still some change to be applied before it is published as a binary. Note that missing translations are appreciated.

View->Layers:
  • Checked: layers invisible
  • Unchecked: layers visible
Sounds reversed to me

I understand. The check is the current state. When you click on the menu, you change that state.

Yes, so it should be made uniform with other windows: checked -> visible, unchecked -> invisible

good progression
just a small suggestion , if you could make the layers movements just like photoshop , the background frame should be fixed (zoom in/out  only) and the layers move over it .

the layer blending mode could be just a drop listbox so you just select instead of popup another window.

good work

I don't understand

They are added to the combobox when they are selected in the popup window. My idea was that when you don't know what blending modes are, you can preview them. There are too much blending modes to put them automatically in the combobox to my opinion.

i did not understand this line but i set the rest accordingly and i got this error message
assembler debug window pops up and shows this
Code: [Select]

  • Checked: layers invisible
  • Unchecked: layers visible

  • Checked: layers visible
  • Unchecked: layers invisible

@j0x:

well I can't do anything with that, there's no debug info here other than pure cpu state. here is what I was talking about :
