#40 problems issues changes to updated LazPaint

[John]

1)There use to be a button to rotate an image, i think right above the move on the toolbox. I have tried selecting the image but right mouse button does nothing. Its not obvious with the new interface. I assume some sort of box should draw around an ellipse.

2)there also use to be a separate set of drawing tools in the toolbox that would draw a shape outlined with settings for color and thickness how can that be done now. Its not obvious with the new interface.

3)There use to be sub opotions in vertical and horizontal flip with would flip just what is selected and not the entire image. Its not obvious with the new interface.

 4) crop to selecton does not work.

 5) colors chosen are no longer next to each other and the swap colors is gone

I have a few more but
these are core to how i use the old Lazpaint. Maybe others would also like thes bugs / changes to funtionality to be as easy and intuitive as the last version was.

Thanks

the issue with #4 is in the old product when an image is selected it would be greyed indicating the selection. Thls is no longer the case. Second when opening an image in a new session the old version never selected the opened image by default. Since you now don't show a selected image as being grayed out the user does not know why what they are doing is being ignored. open an image select a shape crop to shape --nothing happens

i am all for product improvements. however you have /are changing some of the ease of use and intuitiveness of the old product. What made sense before has been obscured. I pointed this out to you 2+years ago. it seems you are rewriting the app disregarding the old apps functionality. Example - the 2 selected colors being next to each other allowing for shade comparison. The other is flip. Another is the selection of a shape's points. If you click for a point to close to another the click is ignored. This never happened in the old version probably because of the large circles you use now instead of points. Also now when moving these point circles there isn't any forgiveness on the point circles if you don't click hold on its center of the point circle. The selection closes and you need to start over again. The old product didn't assume you are holding the mouse button down to close a shape. When you held the mouse button near (very) a point it assumed you wanted to move that point why else would the user be holding the mouse button? This new functionality has slowed down making adjustments on a complex shapes. Then add in then number of times it has closed the shape, has made it frustrating to use. This is not improvement
