trickman Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 "BoltBait you'll like this one: Color Picker tool now switches to the previously active tool after you click" Well I'll hate it. Sometimes I need to pick loads of colors to add to pallete and do some sprite recolours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 You can press 'P' to switch back to the color picker quickly Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Yeah I hate this thread title too. Use a descriptive thread title for gosh sakes.

barkbark00 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 ^ How's that? That is not a mock-up. I just wrote that. Maybe you could add this to a preference menu, that way it doesn't clutter up the tool bar? Great idea though!

Rick Brewster Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 There is no preferences menu. Nor will there be. I don't see how that causes toolbar clutter if it's the only thing up there.

aatwo Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 What do people use the pencil tool for?! Doesn't the brush tool satisfy your dirty artistic needs? Instead of the "switch to pencil tool" option, how about a "switch to tool X" option? Or since that would be hard to lay out, how about giving the user the ability somewhere (perhaps in the drop down tool list) to set a default tool, and then having a "switch to default tool" option?

Rick Brewster Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Because realistically I think having these specific 3 options covers almost every case that people would actually use. There's no sense in filling it with one item for each tool, it just gets polluted and hard to navigate at that point. With 3 simple options it's very easy to pick what you want and to decide and understand what's going on. Heck, I personally have a hard enough time deciding when the girl at Baskin Robins asks me what type of cone I want for my ice cream. Imagine if I had to choose from 20 different types of cones. "I just want ice cream!!!"

BoltBait Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Rick, is she cute? That could explain the source of some of the confusion. BTW, I love the 3 options. Can we have something similar for the Square Drawing tool? I would like something like this: Draw normally Draw with primary/secondary colors swapped As I am constantly thinking that the primary color should be the fill color and secondary color should be the outline color.

Rick Brewster Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Just draw with the right mouse button instead of the left mouse button.

BoltBait Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I do that! ...after I draw with primary button and press the Ctrl-Z Every.Freaking.Time Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aatwo Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 How many varieties of ice cream do they have? Quote Deviant Art Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Wow. She must be REALLY cute. Have you tried the "I wrote Paint.net" pick-up line yet? Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Hah! Really though, I was just trying to make a point. I haven't actually been to Baskin Robins for years or something. It's a true story though, mostly anyway ... maybe it was some other ice cream place asking me what type of cone I wanted.
