I'm not sure whether this should be in the developer or user mailing list. I have tried out your new program on Suse 10 - it installs easily with the packages provided by Packman - thanks. From the stills it looks like it would make a great drawing program in terms of quality results. The drawback is that the interface although probably optimized for someone's design habits is not intuitive at all. I figured out how to draw, but could not get the bucket to fill in the area that I drew and I couldn't get the gradient to fill in the area either. One of things I would suggest is to make the menus fixed at the top of the canvas window like Gimp 2.x as oppossed to right clicking for the menus as was the way in Gimp 1.x. There are so many options that I don't understand how to use, but if the guide could explain in simple terms how to create shapes and fill them with gradients or solid fills, that would make it much easier. And I have used a number of vector illustration programs like Expression, Toon Boom Studio, RealDraw, and Inkscape to name a few. Maybe you could pattern your interface like Toon Boom Studio for the general layout as with Ktoons - if you make the layout like the Toon Boom/Ktoons layout but with your quality graphics, you'd have a killer application. I also had trouble detaching the properties windows. |
