Hey guys!
This week was devoted to more convenient work with open file dialog. Who has tried GAP could not help notice, that current open file dialog is far from perfect and its possibilities are trimmed. So, we implemented native open file dialog. All standard actions, every PC user knows, can be done now:
- multiple select (Ctrl, Shift);
- recover from that last opened folder;
- loop through all drives;
Now, you can choose path where to save generated atlas and data.
Context menu was added to the images in the resource window. Now you can delete one you added by accident.
As I wrote before, our goal is to make GAP as user friendly as possible. And visually appealing.
Unfortunately, ImGui (user interface library we are using now) can not satisfy our needs. As result we are going to write our own UI from scratch. And it is not an easy job, but I hope it will worth it. A lot of technical stuff can be written about it. And if someone wants more detailed technical post about developing custom UI library, let me know below in the comments.
That's all for today.
Bye!
