I was emailing with the dev yesterday, they're already working on implementing the hover feature for the new M2 iPads!

hmmm I actually disagree on this one. That's not how it works in Photoshop either, so that is quite inaccurate.
I believe rather than merge all layer masks and clipping mask, it should be merge all layer masks on clipped layers and clipping mask, while retaining the layer masks of the target layer.
Here's how it works in Photoshop
as shown above, all the other masks that is clipped onto the target layer are merged. But the mask on the target layer is still intact.
I do have a question tho now that we're thinking about this. If you have a layer with some layer masks, and there are some layers that are clipped to that layer. When you merge it, should the target layer still retain its own layer masks?
I personally prefer for them to still retain the layer masks while clipping all the other clipped layers onto that layer tho 🤔
Regarding the X on empty layer, I strongly ask for it to be kept.
There is simply no way in photoshop to show whether a layer is "empty". Say I have a circle with 1 percent opacity, it would just show as a checkerboard on photoshop. I actually love the X in Artstudio pro as an indicator that this layer has absolutely nothing / empty.
1) Yes but exactly that option is not working for me in the beta, even with "clip thumbnails to image bounds" the thumbnail will stay square... it works fine in the app store version, as you could see in the screen recording
2) I tried again on A4 canvas with only 3 layers, it still doesn't work
3) I understand... but maybe thickness can still be reduced a bit more
4) The outline looks very weird in my eyes, I actually thought it was a graphical bug, rather than an visibility improvement... Especially thin strokes (sketches) are hard to see details like that. I think it should be completely removed again.
Checkerboard was better in that case, since on checkerboard you can see light and dark strokes... However, in Procreate it works too without checkerboard and without outline, so idk... but the outline definitely is very very odd
It should be ok in the latest beta
Active area was increased a bit weeks ago in the App Store version.
It seems increasing sidebar width is not the good idea, maybe it should be redesigned from scratch...
I will publish version with increased width in new beta so you can test it. But then i will probably go back to original width .
