Another bug? PerspectiveTextLayer, with default 12 hours text display and default properties, cuts: top of 9 hour, bottom of 3 hour and left side of 6 hour (in any font and any size) Project has no other objects.

Is any way to correct this?


The only way is to download the next version While trying to solve other problems, I believe I solved that one. I could not, however, solve completely the one you pointed out before (the circular text getting out of it’s position with increasing length). I improved it, but I couldn’t solve it yet. However, I’ll release it as is, and keep working on it until I solve it completely...

Looks much better, thx.

Thanks. You translated my "English translation by Marco Ferreira" to "Tradución al inglés por Marco Ferreira", which is a correct translation, I believe, but not the intended one. Could you please change it to something like "Tradución al español por tcc" (feel free to use your name instead of tcc if you wish). It will show up on the about dialog. I'd change it myself but I'm not sure this is the correct translation...

OK, I thought it had to be translated literally like the rest, hehe. Anyway, thanks for this little piece of glory, hehe

Hi everybody,

I don’t know if this is a bug.

When I apply BORDER EFFECT to a partially transparent image, the transparent area turns into the border selected color. That makes me thought that, what this effect really does is put under the selected object a copy of that object in the selected color, with a higher size, specified with the RADIO parameter, instead of apply a “real” border to the object.

Can this behaviour be changed in order to have a “real” border and can by applied to transparent images?

I attach an example

A little request: Is it possible to add Auto Rotation=Day to PerspectiveTextLayer?? Don’t know why theres no these one.

Your description is close. What it really does is go through all of the objects pixels and "replace" each pixel with a circle of the given radius on the given color but with the alpha equal to the pixel alpha. And then, draw the original object over the "border". That's almost the way I think Photoshop/Gimp/Affinity photo works, except those do not care about the alpha, so they always draw the circle on full opacity whenever the source pixel as an opacity > 0. I personally prefer my interpretation of border . However, the problem remains, what's the border of a semi-transparent image (or part of image)?

What I can do, if you think it would help, is to add some sort of opacity threshold to ignore semi-transparent pixels (act as if they where fully transparent). It won’t solve all cases, but I believe it could “sort of” solve yours… See attachments for “Before threshold” (threshold=0) and “After threshold” (threshold=1) to see the difference of having this setting or not having it.

This type of auto-rotation is not supported by the clockskin format. That's why it's not there

I cannot change the clockskin format. I could support it if eric’s launcher supported it (the same way I support gif images even though the standard clockskin does not support them), but I haven’t talked to him about this yet…

Maybe we should list the more asked new clockskin format features…

Great, Marco! I think, watching your images, that this could be a good fix. I’ll test it with my example and we’ll see, but it looks good!.

Hi everybody!

I’m attaching a log with an error given when I selected an image for a TICK LAYER. I attach the image used too in case it helps.

Which version were you using? This seems a problem I've already solved...

The latest, I think, v0.10.3

Hi everybody!

  1. BUG: After loading my last project, one of the TEXT LAYER didn’t draw the text typed previously, instead draw numbers, but in the TEXT property was the correct text. After copy and paste again the text, it draw correctly. I attach images.

  2. QUESTION: In the TEXT property of a TEXT LAYER, the commas (,) separate pieces of text, so how can you write a real comma, not for separate texts?

Thanks in advance!

Hmmm. I wonder what might have happened to 1)... :S

Right now, it’s impossible to place commas. Yes, that’s a big one missing I’ll try to make some escape character to enable the writing of commas. That’s what happens when we don’t think ahead. When I created the TextLayer, the intended use case was only to place the numbers/days/months… It didn’t even occur to me to place free text… I’m such a noob

Haha, the name “TEXT” of the object should had told you something about possible uses, haha

Hello guys, i have a question. How i can export to .watch on Windows 10?. I save my projecto and “Export Standard Clockskin” and just export xml and png archives.

I can export to .watch ??

Below the export to clockskin option you have another option to export to watchmaker… Note however that this is a very early work in progress. It works on my lg g watch, and on many (all?) wear watches. However, the Samsung s3 seems to have problems with the bitmap fonts I generate…

Also you should resize the watch size to 512 before exporting to watchmaker for better results.
