Galaxy v.0.4.0
Galaxy » Devlog
The lightspeed update - 0.4.0
- Added a file browser for opening and saving files
- Added a circular shifter feature
- Added three new effects: vignette, Mandelbrot set and sharpening
- All assets are now packed within the executable for Linux and MacOS as well, improves startup performance
- Changed chunk rendering strategy to now prioritize chunks that were not updated in a while instead of going from top left
- Changed how brush/eraser allocates chunks which increases performance mainly in infinite canvas mode
- Improved move pixels/move selection/transform image performance
- Gradient now utilizes the GPU which increases the speed drastically
- Greatly improved bucket fill speed
- Color layers are now not created (internally) until something is actually drawn onto them reducing memory usage
- Selection layer now generally creates less chunks slightly reducing memory usage and performance on larger images
- Main canvas window now split into UI and graphics, only updates when something changes for less resource usage when idle
- Pencil now behaves like brush, pixels drawn with it are overlaid instead of overwritten
- Instead of mapping pan tool to a button on the mouse, now you map mouse buttons (Middle, Extra1, Extra2) to tools
- Reduced minimum window requirement from 800x600 to 640x480
- Reduced minimum font size from 12 to 10 and increased maximum font size from 24 to 28
- Changed zoom tool to use click and drag instead of left/right click
- Added custom cursors for brush and eraser, pan cursor changed to a hand
- Slightly redesigned UI (black background, no canvas title bar until at least 2 canvases open, smaller padding on windows)
- Padding, spacing, rounding should be consistent across different font sizes
- Added icon to swap primary and secondary color
- Layer icons swapped with ones used in the menu bar
- Merged adjustments and effects into a single JSON save file
- Separated open and recent menus
- Fixed a crash on MacOS due to unavailable cursor
- Fixed move selection canceling when switching tools instead of finishing like other tools
- "Fixed" chunks not updating properly if text alignment is set to center/right due to a bug in SFML 3.1.0, significant performance hit unfortunately
- Fixed shapes tool drag circles not behaving properly after rotating previous shape
- Added total pixels and size in memory for when creating new image
- Recent menu now checks if recently opened files still exist
