Hello! If you're having trouble, you could also try downloading it as a Flatpak https://flathub.org/apps/com.orama_interactive.Pixelorama
Hello! The project is very much alive, in fact we are working on it on almost a daily basis (you can see it on our GitHub Repository)! Right now we are preparing version 1.0, the biggest update so far, while also working on version 0.11.4 which will purely consist of bug fixes. We're sorry we've been quiet for these past months, but there will be news very soon!
Hello, thank you for the kind words! We plan on creating a tilemap editor eventually. As for your second question, right now it's not possible to decrease the opacity of non-selected layers. We should probably add a layer properties window that appears when you right click a layer that allows changing its opacity, in a future version.
Hello! This is intended so that tools won't be changed when doing things such as entering text (for example, while entering text, the user types the letter "P", the pencil would be activated). But perhaps we could fix this in a way where the cursor doesn't have to hover the canvas in order to change tools, so it is something that we could look into in the future.
Hmm that's weird, the `cache.ini` file should be located at the same place even when changing versions (`C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Pixelorama\` on Windows, `~/.local/share/Pixelorama/logs` on Linux and `/Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/Pixelorama/logs` on macOS).
Which platform are you using Pixelorama on, and if you are using Windows, are you using the stand-alone zip version or the installer?
As for UI, in the current versions it's not being saved automatically. To save changes made in the UI layout, you need to go to Window > Layouts > Manage Layouts > Add. If you want to change it later, you need to go to Manage Layouts again and select Edit. In version 1.0 this will change and layouts will be saved automatically whenever you make a change.
Sending individual files without zipping is possible. We are sending a dmg file for macOS and it is not being zipped. The issue seems to be occurring on tar.gz files for some reason. Tar.gz is generally preferred over zip in Linux, as they store Unix metadata such as permissions to execute, which Pixeloraman needs.
We are using butler to deploy Pixelorama directly from GitHub Actions to itch.io, and the file we are providing is the tar.gz archive. For some reason, it seems that butler/itch is also zipping that tar.gz file, while it shouldn't. Weirdly enough, this doesn't seem to be the case for macOS's .dmg files, so this seems like a butler bug regarding tar.gz files. Not sure if there's something we can do about it right now.
Thank you for the feedback! The comment section is fine for reporting bugs and making suggestions, but the best place would be Pixelorama's GitHub repository. Issues for bug reports, and discussions for feature suggestions.
