Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Greetings PDN users. I've been thinking about this feature for some time and I haven't been able to find a thread which addresses it. Is it possible to save or export the "History" of an image once the image has been finished? Would it be possible (gasp) to load and rerun that saved history like some sort of macro?

Sozo Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Isn't this what Scriptlab (a plugin by Pyrochild) is for? Hold up, I'll check... EDIT: I believe it is. Check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 It has limits, however. For instance, it can only work on one layer at a time. Also, its abilities are limited to reproducing effects and adjustments only. You cannot save history at this point, and Rick isn't considering it.

Rick Brewster Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 No, I'm not thinking about it. I explicitly said I'll never add that feature to Paint.NET. Or rather, the ability to save the history with the .PDN. Macros are another story. But don't hold your breath.

But don't hold your breath. @ Rick: Ok considering the amount of memory that history sometimes takes it's understandable that you wont make that. But!... You are giving (for 4.0 release or so) effects to access other image properties like layers? 'cause that's another way around the problem. ANd one more thing just for curiosity what made you change your mind? (just curios really ) Quote [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 @ Rick:Ok considering the amount of memory that history sometimes takes it's understandable that you wont make that. It has nothing to do with memory usage. Also, history items don't use memory in Paint.NET v2.1 or newer -- it uses disk space. But!... You are giving (for 4.0 release or so) effects to access other image properties like layers? 'cause that's another way around the problem. I never said I was doing this. The effect system has a very narrow design on purpose. ANd one more thing just for curiosity what made you change your mind? (just curios really ) Notice I said "this is in the long term roadmap" I didn't say "I'm going to implement this feature exactly as you described it." Actions/macros may end up just being something that is possible with a new object model, but not something that is exposed to the user by default. Someone might have to write an add-in that provides this ability. I don't know yet.

david.atwell Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Sorry, Rick. I couldn't remember and made a guess. Suppose I guessed wrong :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies.

Blooper Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I hate it when you want to ask a question but you don't want to be rude... :? So, if it has nothing to do with memory usage, what is it?

MiguelPereira Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 ... it uses disk space. @ Blopper I believe it answers your question...

If the user doesn't want his disk space full, good, they won't sve the history then. I s'pose.

Bob Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 It's because Paint.NET change pixels one by one, and such it will be near impossible to reproduce it exactly, unless saving a ridiculously enormous amount of stuff in the file, and complexify the format. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I already explained why in great depth in another thread awhile ago. You can probably find it through some searching.

Blooper Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 That, and the number of topics about saving histories (says the creator of one) Quote http://synthastic.deviantart.com http://soundcloud.com/siderealenterprise Lockerz invites are available, PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
