Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / Re: About the Notestudio UI and its future implementation in Artstudio Pro

In Artstudio Reference panel is resizable
We are working on resizable panels for the new UI library, and we will probably use it for Reference panel and color picker.
More than one reference - maybe...
Triangular - yes, it is not hard to implement.

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / Notestudio is LIVE!

We have finally released the Notestudio - note taking app for iPad / iPhone.
We wanted it to look and feel like an Apple-made app. We went all in on draggable panels, so you can customize the UI however you like. Spent months making sure the strokes are super smooth, sharp, and crazy fast – it feels amazing to use!
Notestudio is built on our new graphics engine and UI library, which we plan to use in the future for Artstudio.
So I’m really looking forward to your feedback!
Check it out on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/notestudio-note-taking/id6737322636.
Grab a sub or one-time lifetime buy to remove the drawing limits.

The outline is based on stamp pixels, that's why it looks like that.

But is it the most recent iPadOS 18.3.1?
I need as much info as possible to repeat it because everything looks fine on my iPad

I will try to find a solution for existing users.
The open problem is how to make a transition from iCloud Documents to custom gallery... Maybe we will have to release new version as a separate app however i'm not sure if it is possible to keep full version for users who have already bought Artstudio Pro.
That will be quite sad if this happens as I just paid for the app! Do you think it will be possible to have a discount for existing lifetime license owners if it comes to buying the app anew?

In the big update we are working on now we are going to use UI similar to our Notestudio app - it is available to test in Testflight.
It supports system split view and you can open two documents in two separate windows.
And has better panel system

I cannot reproduce that, could you send all steps to repeat it?
Yea,we will rather not publish new features before switch to new engine.
I’d be happy to learn what we should take from Notestudio from the testers
Can you please rollback the colors panel then? those 4 buttons split into 2 with an extra tap each time you want to scroll them is one of the worst UI decisions you have ever taken. They even take more space than before and that panel was already too small for swatches, so please I beg you, roll it back and if you can add a resizable option of the panel for swatches, is what makes sense UI wise.

Generative tools / AI are not planned. However you should know that current Edit > Inpaint is a very basic of generative fill - the difference is that it is searching for content in current image only, and AI generative fill is searching in mulitple images...
Draggable panels - of course we want to keep option to add custom tools, and we will have to make panels not only draggable, but also resizable. Panel system will be extended for new artstudio. And resizing option is on the first place of planned improvements.
Using groups as clipping mask - it is rather not possible to make such option directly because there would be unexpected results for Group using "Passthrough" blending mode. Besides we don't want to break PS compatibility. The plan is implementing "Smart Object" option, so you can convert group to smart object and then use it as Clipping Mask. Smart Object doesn't support "Passthrough" blending, it is treated rather like normal Layer with option to edit it content.
We want to work on all changes together to save time - i mean the big update will have both new UI, new engine and new features.
One more thing we want to change is the file system. Now we use iCloud Documents (like Pages / Numbers). Unfortunately it has very old system bug and sometimes you can see "Saving Problem" alert, mainly when working on large files. I reported that to Apple, but it was ignored. I'm sure the bug comes from system because i can easily repeat it in Pages / Numbers, i even repeated the during live conversation with Apple, with iPad screen sharing. Of course the only advice I had was "please reported the bug in our bug reporting tool - feedbackassistant.apple.com". I did that on March 2023 and have never receive any feedback. I'm not sure if anybody from Apple has ever read it...
So the only solution is to resign from iCloud Document and implement custom gallery, probably with option to synchronize using CloudKit. Documents will be stored on local disk, and will not be visible in Files anymore.
