[v1.1.1] - 2025-05-06

This update has been brought to you by the contributions of: Fayez Akhtar (@Variable-ind)

Built using Godot 4.4.1

Added

• Implemented isometric & hexagonal tile shapes for tilemap layers! #1213
• Implemented a hexagonal grid type, with support for both pointy-top and flat-top orientations.
• It is now possible to flatten all selected layers into one layer.
• Hexagonal pointy-top and flat-top presets have been added in the tile mode offsets dialog.
• Added a single bezier mode in curve tool, that works similarly to Aseprite's curve tool. #1216
• OpenRaster (.ora) and Aseprite (.ase/.aseprite) files are now being displayed as options in the "Open" dialog.
• Added shortcuts for going to the previous/next frame of the same tag. By default, they are mapped to Control + < and Control + > respectively.
• Holding the "automatically change layer" shortcut (Control + Alt by default) now displays a rectangle around the selected cel, or around the cel whose non-transparent pixels are being hovered by the cursor.
• Users can now color code their cels in the timeline.
• A button for reporting extensions has been added to the extension explorer. #1214

Changed

• Resizing the canvas, cropping to content and centering frames now moves the offset of each tilemap layer instead of affecting its tileset. #1213
• Scaling the project also scales the size of the tiles by the same amount that the project was scaled. For example, scaling a 64x64 project to 128x64 would scale 16x16 tiles to 32x16. #1213
• Switched "tags by column" and "tags by rows" in the export dialog, when exporting spritesheets.
• The minimum window size has been decreased to (300, 200). #1221
• The pencil/eraser/shading brush flip/rotation UI is now consistent with the tiles panel flip/rotation UI, and it also supports the same shortcuts.
• The shortcut groups in the Preferences have been re-organized. The Buttons group has been removed, instead the shortcuts are grouped according to their respective panels, such as Timeline, Global Tool Options and Palettes.
• Cels with a non-zero z-index display a "z" in the timeline.
• The reference image rotation incerement step was changed to 0.01. #[1210](https://github.com/Orama-Interactive/Pixelorama/pull/#1210
• When opening the new tag dialog, the name field automatically grabs focus.

Fixed

• Value sliders and rulers are no longer displaying integers as floats.
• Fixed a crash when using the lasso and polygon select tools outside of the canvas.
• Using the bucket tool on draw tiles mode on an empty tilemap no longer crashes the app. #1213
• Fixed a crash when switching between tilemap layers with different tilesets, while having selected tiles the positions of which do not exist on the new tilemap's tileset. #1213
• Duplicating tilesets in the project properties no longer crashes the app when a previously deleted tileset is still selected. #1213
• Fixed the import tag option not pasting the frame content, and not working for tilemap and audio layers.
• Z-indexed cels are now being rendered with their proper order in the canvas. #1220
• The "change layer automatically" shortcut (Control + Alt by default) no longer works when a selection tool is active, thus preventing the shortcut conflict with the "transform copy selected content" shortcut.
• Prevent switching project tabs and saving, if a native save file dialog is already open. This prevents rare cases of saving two open projects with the same name, thus leading to data loss.
• The native save file dialog now always has a default name for the saved .pxo file.
• Fixed horizontal scrolling on the timeline on macOS. #1219
• Fixed selection resizing not working from the tool options. #1212
• The tile indices that appear when holding Control and a tilemap layer is selected, now scale based on the grid cell size. #1213
• Applying layer effects to passthrough group layer immediately updates the canvas.
• The "select pixels" from the cel menu now works properly with undo.
• Fixed a "section not found" error in the Preferences when launching Pixelorama for the first time. #[1211](https://github.com/Orama-Interactive/Pixelorama/pull/#1211
• Fixed the pencil density slider value not updating when switching between tools.
• Fixed the color picker acting weirdly when the alpha of the color is set to 0.
• Rulers now update whenever the canvas panel resizes.
• Fixed a regression in v1.1 where mouse button shortcuts (such as the mouse thumb buttons) were not activating tools.
• Empty audio layers now only show the audio icon in the frame where the audio is supposed to start playing.
• Fixed issue where the wrong font would be chosen for the interface in certain circumstances. #[1217](https://github.com/Orama-Interactive/Pixelorama/pull/#1217
• Fixed canvas preview's camera not being fit to frame when Pixelorama first launches and the canvas preview is visible.

Removed

• The "All" grid type option has been removed, as it is no longer needed since we can now display multiple grids at once.
