LazPaint (alpha-blending, antialiasing, filters)

[j0x]

can you add layers on lazPaint just like on Paint .NET? this may become a mini photoshop if it has some layer capability

and i also like to request for a zip download for the windows 4.4 version for portability

great app!!!

Thank you. Here is the zip version of it :

Adding layers is possible, but needs some work. And it needs to figure out how to do it.

Until now, there are some bugs with undo/redo and with cut'n'paste in some cases.

Congratulations for the effort to develop such a great program. I think I'll start installing it on all my customers machines (I'm in system support business) to boost it's popularity

Hello Circular, i'm at work right now was quite busy theses last days and have still no Internet at home.
But i take some time right now, to compile at least windows version.
Shouldn't we change version from 4.4 to 4.4.1 so people will get the update?

I'm changing version number to 4.4.1 so that people that had 4.4 will be informed on the update.
I will work soon on the auto-updater (with proxy options), and autocheck new version at startup option

Great work guys!!!

Some weeks ago I've installed 4.2 version and I couldn't find the text tool. Is it missing?

No the text tool is included. You find it in the tools popup second line, then when creating a text, another toolbar is shown on the right of the main toolbar.


I updated src files, moved old versions in old, put win32 zip and setup files,
updated the latest.txt file so the updater see the last version.
But i couldn't compile for gtk2 as i don't have linux in here.

I'll do as soon as i can (or if someone else can... )

Best Regards

@garlar:
Maybe text tool has been added in version 4.4.

@FabienWang:
Thanks Fabien.

Well, I just realized I had not updated BGRABitmap. Sorry.  Here is a new version 4.7.2 which is necessary to handle clipboard properly :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazpaint/files/src/

So you should do a 4.4.2 version now. Or just replace the exe file.

About Linux version, someone proposed to help me. Maybe he can do that.

Ok, i'm posting LazPaint 4.4.2 (no difference in the source code, only at compile time)

EDIT: It's done. Fabien, can you update the version number for update checker to 4.4.2 ?

[lainz]

Nice.

Also Fabien if you go compile for linux you can create a 'setup' feed with 0install?

0install download
http://0install.net/install-linux.html

packaging with 0publish-gui
http://0install.net/packaging-binaries.html

It seems to be easy but the publish program is only available on Linux, currently i've only Win32.

I 'm trying to run lazpaint and gives me an error message:
'\bgrabitmap\bgragradientscanner.pas(648,26) Error: Illegal qualifier
'
bgragradientscanner.pas(648,26) is the line with code:
  alpha := FMaskScanNext.red;

What should I do to run it?

bgrabitmap4.7.2

No problem here Lazarus 0.9.31 r32381 FPC 2.4.4 i386-win32-win32/win64

@panoss: What happens if you replace by
  alpha := FMaskScanNext().red
?
