For version 1.1.2 |
X86 compatibility |
Compile for x86 |
Move to 10.4 |
Upload development plan to website |
Simple bugs |
Application does not work in a folder with non-ascii characters |
Color changes during color picking |
When you move one color slider, other sliders move too |
Merge strokes option is not dimmed when it should be |
Smoothness cannot be set by the slider in Tool Properties |
Hatch and scatter slider does not work |
If you zoom in far enough and then draw the application crashes |
You can deselect the current pen tool by clicking in an empty area in the tool panel |
Zoom in/zoom out is not centered to the mid point of the screen |
I cannot reproduce this now -- but I'm sure I reproduced it before... have I fixed it? |
Speed improvements |
Faster load by saving bitmap in image file |
Option for disabling this (via defaults mechanism) |
Also option for generating image preview |
Faster undo |
Split up lines that are too long (they take long to draw) |
Draw a single dot by just clicking |
Holding spacebar is quick switch for panning canvas |
Build |
Test (on x86 and PPC) |
Distribute |
Speed improvements |
No long pauses (planned for 1.1.3) |
Run performance/memory debuger (when no more pressing issues) |
Menu option for reimporting layer as bitmap (after layer support is done) |
Main feature development line |
Layer support (Rita 2.0) |
Network collaboration drawing (Rita 3.0) |
Small feature requests from users |
More keyboard commands |
Pan with shift would be nice. Context menus would be nice. Fast keys for increasing/decreasing pen size, opacity, etc (instead of just selecting a fixed value) -- migh be assigned to pen buttons. |
Undo buttons in toolbar |
Medium feature requests from users |
Let cursor represent pen size (as in photoshop) |
Allow users to customize all cursors? |
User wants arrow instead of crosshair to "see what he is doing" with pen tool size 1. |
Change color of already drawn objects (opacity, etc -- as well) |
Big feature requests from users |
Course notes improvements |
When working with multi-page documents, zooming in and out, it is hard to stay on the same "scale". Maybe a zoom too 100 % option to zoom to a known zoom level. |
Also perhaps page guidelines that can be used to limit pages. |
Page guidelines for printing multipage documnts. |
Import/export vector formats (illustrator, PDF, SVG) |
Export will not be perfect (but some users do not mind) |
Enable in through a "hidden" option? |
Rita paths are not "nice" -- contains lot of objects, hard to edit in vector program |
Cropped to the current view? |
Text support -- editing text |
Some ideas of my own |
Bookmark support, to return to a particular view |
Multiple simulatenous view of the same file |
Softer brushes (like an airbrush) |
Good, fast rendering algorithm? |
Save tool preferences (color, size, etc) in file |
Easy to save custom brushes |
Links to included files -- instead of saving them in document? |
Partial stroke undo -- drag a slider to shorten the last stroke -- useful? |
Group strokes -- for more vector-like behavior? |
Real curved strokes - that looks as curves even when zoomed in to the maximum |
Needed? |
Will need new file format |
Export to custom Rita XML -- for third party interoperability |
Search for pens in Library/Application Support -- standard way of sharing custom pens / pen sets |
Fullscreen mode |
