I do not mean opening/not opening of the image, but autozooming it. Anyway, I will submit a patch for that, together with some other stuff.
Maybe I will understand better what you want to say with the patch.
1. I came across the following issue: when I select an area , then invert selection, it is possible to do Crop to selection. What actually happens is that the initially selected area is deleted. I do wonder if in such cases Crop to selection should not be disabled?
I tried Gimp (an old version) , in the same case Cropping does not get disabled, and yet it does nothing when selected. Maybe someone can tell how Photoshop behaves?
Personally I think it is a good thing that the non selected area is deleted in this case.
2. When Save As is selected from the menu, the default filter shown is All file types (*.*).
Actually if no extension is written, the file is save as BMP.
Nope it is PNG.
IMHO, default extension should be the one of the edited file itself. Anyway if it stays BMP, then it would be much better if instead of All file types (*.*), to show Bitmap (*.bmp). What to you think?
I can take care for that issue.
Currently the default extension is PNG. In the dialog box, I think it is ok that the format is not defined. I think that then when we save, the default format should be PNG if there is no layer and LZP if there are layers.
If there is any the current extension of the file, it is a good idea to set this as the extension in the dialog box, unless it is already set to something. For example, we can open a series of file in BMP format and save them in TIFF, and I would not want to change to TIFF extension each time I do "save as".
3. I'd like to ask @Circular, if he has plans when the next version of LazPaint shall be released?
I am waiting to have more feedback to know if there are quick fixes to apply in priority. Until now, there does not seem to by any serious issue, so I guess we can soon start to progress towards a new version. A new version may be released in December for example. There is no hurry as the published version seems satisfactory. It depends also if we have much ideas and time to do it.
I have already noted the following things to do in the next version:
- reduce zoom if the image is too big when opening with File > Open
- add more filters
- save image browser size in configuration
- take into account DPI resolution of images
- display somewhere information about the image (size, number of colors)
- correct a bug when typing the size of the brush
- make it easier to change brush size and text size
- propose quick colours that have been used recently
- fix a bug with 3d rendering (normal vector becoming zero)
- handle custom normals for vertices
Cheers
