UI improvements
Posted: Sun Jul 09, 2017 7:07 pm
Congratulations, wonderful brush engine! I'm about to switch to PSS. The only thing holding me back is some shortcomings in the UI. In order of importance:
1. Text (brush name)-only "Brushes" panel view (a third click on the bottom right icon... The current realistic color icons are distracting visual noise, and brushstroke strips are useless).
2. Temporary tool switch a la Photoshop (ex: when working with a brush, hold the E key switches to the eraser. Erase, then release the key to go back to the previous tool).
3. Transparency "third color", like Clip Studio Paint. Assignable to any brush, responding to that brush parameters.
4. Keyboard shortcuts to toggle show/hide panels individually (one shortcut per panel).
5. Text tabs for categories, like Clip Studio Paint (ex: the categories in the "Brushes" panel).
6. Keyboard shortcuts to navigate up-down the layer list.
7. Brush properties panel scrollbar (to keep all the subpanels expanded...)
8. Tooltip balloons everywhere.
9. Shift-Space could be replaced by "Tab twice", like in Photoshop. Third tab = back to full UI.
Ciao!
