Before starting a thread on github, I guess is better first post here in the forum and see what they think :)

What you think about "guide lines + snap", this is a feature in GravitDesigner, check how works, I think is pretty cool :)

the selection tool is not accurate to select pixels, so if we want to select for example, parts of a sprite, we'll have to do two things
1. select the desired pixels
2. deselect unwanted pixels, that are added by the way the selection tool treats the corners of selected pixels.
Smoothed?

https://i.ibb.co/GnV7nyj/x-lazpaint-selection.gif
In this gif I finish selecting only the left part of the sprite.
while the right side that's already selected, I also did the second step before, deselect the pixels of the corners.
Then when pasting the image we can see how the curves create partial selections.

I guess that "smoothed" kind of selection can be nice in certain cases, but in other as this is a bit uncomfortable.

Yep. If the width of the pen is one, using CTRL will align to pixels and you get full pixels selection.

I will add the aliasing option in next version for you.

Even with ctrl the aliasing is there, but yes with the option to disable must be enough :)
btw, please add disable aliasing option for shape tools too.

I've added your request:

Is harder in Spanish because one thinks is anti alisado when in fact is anti afilado.

I see.

I wonder about the etymology of this.

On Wikipedia, it is written that aliasing comes from alias that means "differently" and so that aliasing means getting something different from what was expected.

So I presume it is that when trying to draw a line, you get unwanted steps, which are unexpected and gives a different appearance that what was intended.

Well maye I was wrong, I found now that in Spanish is 'antiplegamiento' that has less sense to me. But the reason of my confusion was that when I was younger I see that word 'antiafilado' in a nvidia videocard box  :-[ I presume wrong translation or there was no other translation in that time. Please check if in lazpaint is correctly translated into 'antiplegamiento' or better use anti-aliasing that's widely known.

Hmm ok.

I found another translation: antisolapamiento. Does it sound better?

You were right the first time: the more correct translation (in this context) to Spanish is "anti afilado"*, but it's mostly left untranslated nowadays, as so many other computer terms.

The problem is that too literal translations to Spanish often result in strange or "funny" terms being used; for example, "buffer" is often translated to "tampón" but the more common uses of that word are for a kind of feminine higiene product or for an inkpad ...

And frankly, "anti-plegamiento" sounds more like a geological process ;)


* Of course that leaves us either without a word for "sharpening" or with a context-dependent translation. But we don't worry much about it: it happens quite often which is why "latin" languages are so rich for jokes and riddles. :D

GIMP use "Afilar".
It's been ages since the last time I applied filters to something that I can't recognize the spanish's filter names  :o
ETA: though I don't know if afilar is the antialiasing or if it is sharpening

@garlar: no estoy seguro de que este "afilar" es a propocito de antialiasing.

Cuando se trace una ruta, es escrito anti-alias:

Context is everything :) In this case, of course, it refers to "sharpen": note that it mentions specifically the "unsharp mask" filter.

In your image "anti-aliasing" is translated as "Alisado", which must be new: older versions used "antialias" there.
