PixiEditor/PixiEditor 1.0.0.0

on GitHub

What's Changed

• PixiEditor is now on Steam!

Additions:

• Complete rewrite of PixiEditor's architecture

• Performance improvements for large canvases

  Commands, shortcuts:

• Added command search, a handy window that lets you search for any action you want to make in PixiEditor. You can access it using the searchbar on top or by pressing Ctrl+K.

• You can set your own shortcuts now. If you are used to the ones from Aseprite, you can load the aseprite shortcut template without changing them manually.

  Selection:

• Improved the performance of all selection tools

• Added a way to transform the selected area in different ways (move, rotate, stretch, shear, perspective)

• You can now move and rotate shapes before applying them

• Added a lasso tool

• You can't draw outside selection now

• You can now invert selection

  Layer Manager:

• Added a slider for layer opacity

• Added layer blend modes

• Added lock alpha, a feature that prevents you from drawing on the transparent portions of the layer.

• Added layer masks

• Added clipping to layer below

• Groups are now called folders and they can now be empty

  Palettes:

• Added a palette system. You can now import palettes from lospec, save and load them from files. The palette browser has all the palettes you have in PixiEditor.

• You can use the replace color feature of the palette to replace some color with another on the whole canvas

  Reference layer:

• The reference layer is now saved in .pixi along with the rest of the drawing

• You can now move the reference layer around, rotate it, and put it above or below your drawing

  Other:

• Added symmetry, a feature that automatically mirrors everything you draw to the other side of the canvas

• Added percentage scaling to the export menu, along with a hint saying what percentage might be the best.

• Added a thing that shows the currently selected color in the bottom left corner

• You can now rotate and mirror the viewport (in a way that doesn't affect your drawing, it only affects how you see it in PixiEditor)

• Added a wrench button in the top right corner which contains some useful viewport settings

• You can now open the same file in multiple windows, and the windows will update in real time

• The default transparent checkboard background is now less trippy

• Added an About window with all the info about the project

• The shape of the brush is now shown as a contour

• Added ways to rotate and flip the canvas

• Floodfill now takes all layers into account if you hold down Ctrl

• Moved the "Copy Main Color" button into the color picker window. The button is used to set the fill color of a shape to be the same as the currently selected color.

• Updated Discord rich presense preview to the new design of Discord in settings

• The color picker tool can now pick colors from just the current layer, without taking the ones underneath into account.

Fixes:

• The mouse pointer no longer lags when launching PixiEditor
• If you had many layers and tried deleting or creating one, PixiEditor used to lag. This is now fixed.
• Fix crash when saving a file with a filename ending in .mod
• PixiEditor should no longer completely stop responsing during long operations, instead it should show a loading animation
