Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / Bug with transform and an advice
on: March 17, 2024, 05:03:19 AM
If you place the pivot point in any of the corners of the transforming area (having pivot, ratio and snap on) and you pull/push the adjacent transformation circles, and sometimes the other corners, you get a broken transformation or a NaN on all offset, scale and angle. For example, transform a layer, have pivot, ratio and snap on, move the pivot to the top left corner, try to transform from the top center or left middle points. It always happen.

Is the app still alive btw? it's been ages since we got any kind of meaningful update but bug fixes here and there, and there are many many things that could make the app even better. It's bad marketing on your end switching to a subscription model and suddenly disappearing (again), people are going to run away of a subscription model app that barely gets any update at all. (I know you are working on something amazing that starts with "V", but try adding minor updates in between, like the isometric grid you have been asked since 2019, or colored folders, an exporting panel to pick what we want to export and what dimensions or something like CSP just added -> layer comps https://youtu.be/WEbeADbhgHY?t=19)
Dunno man, is your app and you do you, but remember that being subscription model means you have to work extra harder and faster >.<
Hope you don't take it wrong, love the app, i keep recommending it to everyone still. Cheers

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / Save symmetry settings
on: February 26, 2024, 05:31:07 PM
I noticed every time i open the app i have to disable the "editable" option of the symmetry tool, could that option be persistent between sessions like 99.99% of the other settings of the app or default it to not editable? Thanks

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / REALLY nasty annoying bug
on: December 11, 2023, 03:08:28 AM
When i try to write the name of a layer with the apple pencil, sometimes the strokes get stuck and are not translated to text, which soft locks the app since i cant tap away to cancel the typing, the lines remain there forever and i can add more and more handwriting there and nothing happens, the only solution is forcefully closing the app which just made me lose a lot of work that had done... I assume the bug is not in your end but it already happened more than 2 times in a short period of time so just letting you know.

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / cant import files from "share"
on: September 05, 2023, 03:00:22 PM
The title, when i try to import a psd/pdf/jpg/png/etc from other apps, i get an error that asks me to reboot the ipad, always. The same files can be imported without issue on procreate, for example.

Using ArtStudio 5.1.16 on Ipad pro 16.3 (not updating because i read here that upper versions bug the app further)

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / Export selection
on: August 15, 2023, 04:26:35 PM
Give us an option to export based on selection, the export panel could have a switch like the "web resolution" one (disabled if there is nothing selected) and while you are at it, an output width / height /  resolution... It would make exporting files way way way way better >_< is kind of a pain right now.

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / Color picker bug
on: March 18, 2023, 01:53:14 AM
I think it broke in last update, 5.1.5 (923), i tried color picking with one finger and I'm only getting a toast on top saying "loading from canvas at x,y" and the cross that picks the color remains on the canvas forever and the color does not change. This only happens with the "wet brush" tool, with other tools it seems to work fine. Hope you can fix this soon :D

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / A pair of helpful suggestions (i hope)
on: February 15, 2023, 04:25:43 PM
Could you add a button in the files part of the app or settings that regenerates the thumbnails of your artstudio's files? My friend (and me too), lost most of the thumbnails after updating the app, i wouldn't mind if it takes a while to regenerate.

Could you add a search option for the brushes panel? i know i can fav and have the recent brushes area, but when you fav and use a lot of different brushes that you still have to search for them... a text box at the top that only shows the brushes with "x" name would be immensely helpful :'(

My friend also complained a lot about a weird issue with selections+moving selections and undo/redo, corrupting the history, but he is unable to reproduce it to the point of giving me instructions for it, so once i know ill report it here.

Thanks for your hard work :)

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / Annoying issue opening files
on: January 06, 2023, 02:29:02 PM
Keep getting this error AN AWFUL LOT lately:

Unable to import document, and error occurred while trying to import a document: No description
Hint: This is a system bug, rebooting may fix it.

Tried rebooting and it doesn't fix the issue. I tried opening the same exact file in Infinite Painter and it opens with no problem at all, so the "system bug"... sorry but i can't buy that.

App version is 5.0.1 but happened before v5. The file can be a PSD, a PNG, or w/e, i have no idea why some open fine and others just refuses... and again, those same files open in any other app that is compatible with the file format :S

It's becoming really frustrating since it's affecting my PC to Ipad to PC workflow >_<

Edit, i cant even create new projects now, i think the issue is related to the "folder" you are in... like, im always in "recent", and it didnt allow me to create the file (dunno if thats why i cant open files either)... anyways, this never happened before, hope is easy to track and fix :(

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / 4.1.1 blurry pixelated bug
on: July 12, 2022, 02:01:20 AM
Not sure what triggers it yet but when i do a selection, or i zoom or i do other stuff, the whole canvas becomes a blurry mess of pixels, as if i resized down the canvas a lot and zoomed in a lot too. I think this happened in the past and is related to the "view" cache or something like that. For example, when I undo, the whole canvas is like this until i zoom in or out. Looks like hiding/showing layers also causes it.

And already asked it in another thread but ill ask here too. Could the zoom snapping be a preference instead of dissapearing? I kind of waste a lot of time trying to get the zoom to 100% instead of 98-99% or 101-102%... I know it might sound stupid but its triggering my OCD really badly :( It could be an option inside Interface, the same way we have "Snappable sliders" i think you even removed the rotation snap, or at least it feels that way because trying to get 100% zoom + 0ยบ requires skill now :(

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / Not sure if a bug
on: June 28, 2022, 02:24:35 PM
When you use Pencil Settings, that appear after long pressing the pencil button at the top left, and for example disable Tilt or Pressure, when you restart the app the settings are not saved. Hope it's a bug and can be fixed before next release, is a nice shortcut to disable tilt

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / beta 806 bug?
on: May 19, 2022, 04:42:17 AM
"layer thumbnail background is now plain (no checkboard)"
The layer's thumbnail background has the same color as the theme you pick up for the app, before this beta it was tied to the "light checkboard background", is this a bug? Each animation's frame thumbnail background is always white, no matter what option you change.

I personally prefer having the overall theme dark and the thumbnails white, so i have a better contrast, but dunno.

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / export animation and other bugs/questions/suggestions | 4.1 (801)
on: May 08, 2022, 05:45:18 AM
- The drag gesture is a nice addition but lags horribly if used while "by color segment" is on

- Saw you fixed transparency option when exporting to HEVC so tested exporting and its adding a black frame at the start, is not transparent animation and if i uncheck the transparent option, the number of frames is still wrong (plus the black frame at the start, so loops are broken)

- Mp4 still exports the wrong number of frames too :(

Question, the export animation > png ... is that supposed to export an APNG file? or all frames? or...? because it only exports 1 png file that is not animated

Suggestion, add a color picking tool to the color panels that open, for example, when creating a gradient... is REALLY annoying having to close everything to get colors from the canvas while creating a gradient :( Could work as a drag and drop

If i find anything else, ill let you know.

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / 4.1 Animation bug/s & suggestions
on: March 22, 2022, 11:14:49 AM
Hi, super excited to have the animation feature, so far i found a bug and maybe have 2-3 suggestions.

Bug:
- If you group a frame/layer and hit play, the app crashes
- Exporting doesn't work (tried mp4 and gif both with and without web resolution), only exports background and then the first frame, after you tap the export animation button all the frames in the animation panel are gone, maybe thats what is causing the issue, the frames are not back until you tap in a different layer in the layers panel

Suggestions:
- Related to the bug... is it going to be possible to use groups as frames? if not, it would be nice to have that so we can use lineart + color layers in a single frame
- Option to set/extend the duration of frames, so instead of duplicating frames we can make certain frames have a duration of half, double, triple, etc frames instead (saving file size and memory)
- Drag and drop in the animation panel to re-order/sort frames (i know we can use the layers panel for that but i think it could be handy to have that in the animation panel too)
- I think onion skin should have some kind of "opacity steps", so is easier to tell apart what frame is right before the active one
Something like this if we set onion skin to opacity 30 and frames to 3 -> <10%> <20%> <30%> <current> <30%> <20%> <10%>
- Option to pick Onion skin colors for the frames that comes next and the ones that are behind
Something like this if we set previous to red and next to blue: <red> <red> <red> <current> <blue> <blue> <blue>
- Option to show "loop" the onion skin of the end of the animation if we are on frame 1 (for easier seamless loops)
- Couldn't try gif export but... are the gifs looped forever? if not, could you please add an option to toggle that? are transparent background  gifs supported? if not... could you add support for that too? transparent background gifs are usually a pain to do if the app didnt export em as transparent :(
- Could you add a top root layer too? totally love that you added the bottom one but a top one is also helpful for watermarks, signatures, text, overlay, etc :)

I'll keep toying around with the update, so far it looks really promising so good job :)

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / Gradient map and performance
on: January 12, 2022, 10:11:25 AM
I have an ipad pro 12.9 3rd gen, ipadOS 15, have a 3500x3500 132ppi canvas with 47 layers, added 5 gradient maps to color my artwork and the app slowed down to the point any brush lags while drawing, the app feels extremely sluggish and about to crash at any moment, color picking lags behind for like 10 seconds (until the color picking orb stops moving on its own, tracing the stroke i did to select a new color)... oh it also lags a ton while creating the gradients inside the gradient map options. Is it possible to improve the performance of this incredibly useful tool? In the beta the panning and zooming seems to be better, but in the current app... ugh :(
