Enzan55 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi there. I'm an isometric pixel artist and I really like Paint.net's efficiency for pixel art, except for one thing. I was wondering if I could draw a line without the nubs popping afterward. You see, I primarely use the line tool and always need to press Enter to make the dots disappear or else I can't draw another line near the end of the first one. I know theses nubs can be really helpful for typical users but for me they are a total pain in the < no swearing >. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Enzan55, After drawing a line, just do a mouse-click off of the edge of the canvas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyrochild Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 "I don't want to press this key after each line" "Okay, just press a different key!" Besides, real pixel artists use the pencil tool. ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzan55 Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 So there is no way I can deactivate the nubs thing? I mean really deactivate it for good not with a key each time I draw a line. Wouldn't it be nice to have that kind of option included in the software?? I'm sure this would please many fake pixel artists :wink: What about a plugin?? Hack? Thank you for the replies so far.

Sarkut Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 You could make a macro recording of the Enter key being rapidly pressed for several seconds. Then set it to repeat play when you want to use the line tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarkut Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Or just hold it down. That's even better. Or put a paperweight on the Enter key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Of course, be careful what you hover your cursor over when holding down return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against your idea but I would rather not use something from the physical world to solve this kind of issue lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 There's really nothing we can do other than suggest increasingly silly workarounds. Sorry. ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
