This plugin is really cool! As an artist, I’ve run into a few issues while working with it and would like to suggest some improvements:
- When using custom brushes, even if I set “brush color from” to 100, lowering the opacity of my selected color does not change the brush‑stroke opacity at all. It would be great if custom brushes could respect stroke‑opacity adjustments.
- The zoom tool has some usability problems with drawing tablets. When I drag left, the view zooms in; dragging right zooms out. Most drawing programs work the opposite way —‑ drag‑left to zoom out, drag‑right to zoom in. This feels really counter‑intuitive once you are used to standard workflows. Also, switching the “mode” setting between “zoom out” and “zoom in” makes no visible difference. What’s more, dragging to zoom does not pivot around the cursor position. If I keep zooming in and out without releasing the pen, the view drifts steadily away from my original focal point. Mouse‑wheel zoom works correctly in this regard. I’d also love two extra preferences: zoom speed and zoom‑range limits. Right now zooming happens way too fast; I often accidentally zoom all the way out until I can barely see my artwork, which breaks my painting flow.
- When “single tool mode” is enabled, the tool‑icon HUD shows up at the bottom‑left corner instead of centered on my cursor. Multiple overlapping icons can get confusing. This behaves differently from how most mainstream painting software handles single‑tool mode. Adding toggle‑style compatibility options here would help users coming from other apps.
- The “interface” slider under the “contrast” setting lags badly. The slider is hard to drag and stutters while adjusting values.
