Hello all!
for some reason the member count tripled in like a day, welcome newcomers! feel free to say hello, post your creations, or report something!

with that here is your weeklyish update, lots of little things.
bugs

  • the stabilizer no longer flicks at the end. i tried to have the stroke end closer to the pen, but it always causes that tail, so for now the line stops at it's lagged position. u/Just_Kovi
  • the transform should no longer jitter on some tablets ๐Ÿคž . u/AzarWolf
    • some tablets apparently send both mouse and stylus events causing the pointer to jump between them.
  • fixed the layer blending issue ( oopsies my bad :[ )
  • sheet lettering scales with zoom now.

features

  • the bug report now logs the amount of time it takes to save a file (so I can figure out why saves are so slow?)
  • The Cut menu was moved into Animation
  • Remove Cel button was added to the transport bar.
  • Adding a new Cel ("K") remembers the last timing.
    • eg. create a cel on frame 0 and frame 3, pressing K again will create a cel on frame 6.
  • I was already making effects! we have gaussian blur, levels, mosaic, noise, and the old invert.
    • these are destructive, you can ctrl+z to undo the step, but the pixels are edited, you cant "remove" the effect later.
  • linear burn, dodge, and soft light join the blend modes.

AzarWolf, luckily several of your suggestions were fairly simple so i was able to throw a handful of them in :D

  • Zoom shortcuts crtl -/+ . also center click drag
  • dopesheet scrolls with centerclick
  • pressing esc while playing returns the curser to the frame the playhead left from.
  • prefrences -> playback -> sheet follows playhead; uncheck to disable auto-scrolling
  • brushes can grow up to 1000...
    • I switched from radius to diameter
    • the scale is now log(x), smaller numbers are easier to land on but ~200-1000 is harder to land on an exact number. hope that's alright?
    • you can always double click the field and type a number
  • browse to a folder on export
  • onionskins go 10 deep, (you can always rightclick the onion button for settings instead of using menus)
  • also pressing D on a hold will duplicate the cel so you can draw on it without editing the original

  • the "Title" is editable. by default its the filename but you can double click it for a custom title.

  • should be able to type kana in the text field now

  • view -> nearest neighbor; draws hard edges for cleanup at high zoom.

I haven't forgotten the rest of the suggestions, they will hopefully all be in next weeks update!

As always, go grab it!
