Hi Marco,

I don’t know if i’m the only one with this problem, but when i load a watchface often not all of the layers are shown in the preview.
I added a screenshot below with an example.
In this example the hands for minutes and seconds don’t show after loading. 

When i retry loading some other layers disappear, so it’s not always the same layers.
Is it possible to make some kind of ‘refresh’ button in Watchfase Designer to show all the layers?

This hasn’t happened to me. I’ll check it out. But, as I said before, this is a very busy month for me, so I have to leave WFD behind for this month. I hope December will be more calm, so I can check out all the bug reports you all have been giving me.

But just because I have absolutely no time this month, don’t worry. I haven’t forgot about WFD and I will keep developing it as soon as work allows me jj


Marco, i think there is something wrong with the Hour_shadow, at some point it seams very far from the Hour_hand, con you check please, thanks.

Hi again!

Another suggestion. I think it would be very useful to add a couple of buttons to expand / colapse layers tree, mainly in complex projects.

Thanks in advance.

In the last version of WFD (0.9.2), the zoom buttons in the upper left corner have gone away. Please put them back since they are very useful when doing millimetric things.

Thanks for your time and effort.

Thank you.

I know it’s a little of topic in this forum, but could it be possible to add an option to use your App to design square skins ? For the moment, the circle Mask prevent such an usage.
Thanks

Hi everybody!

Suggestion: I think it would be cool if TICKS layer style option had the capability to load images, not only dots and ticks. Then the controls would be height, width and scale, like in IMAGE layer. I’ve made ticks putting images manually in their places, but it’s a little bit annoying doing it this way.

If it could be possible directly in TICKS layer it would be great!.

Thanks.

Hi again!

Bug: Sometimes when I save my job and try to quit WFD, it asks me repeatedly if I want to save my changes, even when I already answered yes. In these occations, the .xml proyect file has been incorrectly saved and not load anymore.

When this happens, I have to open .xml with a text editor and delete the last element tag and close the main tag proyect in order to work again. This usually works, altough I lost some of my last changes.

It would be fantastic if this was fixed.

Thanks again for this great soft.

When making high resolution face (eg. 800x800), after saving and loading it later, things get hectic. It loads only few objects, right side list starts falling apart, and everything becomes barely responsive. Other than that, this is a nice piece of software.

mpmf,

fist thx again for all your work on this program,.

I’m having a problem accessing the colors pallet (not sure of the proper name for it) I’ve only been able to get it to open three times out of dozens of attempts, everything else has worked including the colorer picker eye dropper ?

I’m using ver 0.9.2, I have removed and reinstalled it, have tried to click all over the fill & stroke color bars, nothing seems to work.

Running mac os 10.13.2 with 12gig ram, Java 8, update 151, have tried restart and reboot.

I was wondering if there was a short cut key to bring it up or if you could add one ?

The work around I’m using was to screen shot the color pallet the last time I got it to open and add it as an image when I need to change colors in a design, using the color picker with it I can get the job done but it’s very slow.

Thx in advance with any help with this.

Don.

It would be great if you could replicate the bug. From what I’ve been looking at for what’s causing it, it might be that you have an ImageLayer without an image file selected. That will cause the bug you’ve mentioned. I’ve fixed it, so on the next release that particular bug that I described will be corrected. Also, starting from the next version, the app will generate a log everytime an error occurs. That will make it simpler for me to check the bugs if I have that log file…

It seems there is a threading problem on the GUI with mac os x. I’ll try to fix it in the next release. I don’t have a mac to test any more, so it will be a “guessing” game…

Understood,

and if you ever need any osx beta help, feel free to give me a shout.

After a long pause, here it is:

WatchFace Designer v0.9.3

What’s new on 0.9.3

  • Tick layer can now use images
  • (early) Support for animated GIFs
  • (early) Support for squared faces
  • Changed multi-threaded rendering mechanism (hope it solves the non-appearing layers on high-resolution watch faces, and doesn’t introduce new problems

)

  • Store unexpected exceptions on a log file for easier communication of bugs
  • Various Bug fixes

The major additions are the animated gifs and different multi-threading mechanism. Please take into consideration that the gif will be splitted into multiple images (1 per frame) and it WILL use a lot of memory running on your watch. So, try to keep the number of gifs really low (1, for instance) and their size (width/height) as small as possible…

Regarding Multi-threading, it is always a source of headaches, and I didn’t had the time to test this new method. It seemed to work on the few runs I made, but we never know…
