Many different issues.

Post by illinar » Fri Nov 02, 2018 3:34 pm

I bought the program immediately for iPad since it's the most feature-complete one that I know. Would recommend to everyone if not lots of small issues and things that could be better. The program is really great and is a Photoshop killer for me because photoshop can't get basic artist features in decades of development. But Painstorm is pretty rough around the edges sometimes. Other suggestions will be in a separate thread.

- My Tools panel just disappeared and would never appear when enabled. It's not transparent, it's just gone.
- My previous post on this forum was never posted, no reason why was given.
- My buttons move all the time. Two of them currently (brush size and erase toggle) are always moved when the tablet is flipped to landscape and back.
- The low memory warning is constantly there as a bright useless red box (after enabling "panels on top of buttons") covering part of the UI. I want to disable the warning.
- Save As button and Save As menu item are inconsistent.
- Dialogue windows like Warp and Save are lacking Cancel button.
- When I go back to Painstorm the current layer selection is reset to the bottom layer and this causes some problems and can ruin the work. I would like it to remember the current layer.

Try to restore by: Menu-other-reset default-reset panels layout.

Forum posts approving not very fast :(

You can move it if you press it by one finger and put 2nd finger near... Better lock UI by little locker at the right-top corner of the main window.

I figured out why buttons move, they are anchored to the corners of the screen, so if I rotate the screen and my buttons were in the mddle, my whole button setup gets split into two and becomes unusable. I would like to be able to set to which point they should be anchored, or even have a separate position setting for each orientation.

so of the issues you mention have workarounds like memory issues.

Buttons move.

At first I found the same thing. I found that to move a button, use two fingers on the screen at the same time. One on the button you want to move, and drag it to where you want.

It's easy to do without realizing it.
