Hiii I just released the v0.9.1 patch, and the bug should be fixed now! The plugin now properly stops all processes and hotkeys when you close the window (fingers crossed it actually behaves this time xd).

Glad you pointed out the exact cause! Hopefully, it works smoothly now. If u  find any other issues, just let me know ₍ᐢ. .ᐢ₎

OMG TYY for finding this!! you are absolutely right, it's a "zombie listener" bug — the hotkey process just stays active in the background for some reason even after closing the window ( ╥ω╥ )

now that i know the cause, i'll try to fix it as soon as possible in the next patch! x)

oh yeah, i know xokem's tool! funnily enough, it actually inspired my other plugin (dithering generator) xd.

i completely get what you mean about increasing the pattern size/coverage (keeping 1x1 pixels but making the brush footprint wider). i actually thought about adding this exact feature when i first started making the plugin, but completely forgot about it! so ty for the reminder

about the "force tiling" - i just checked how that extension works under the hood and you are totally right! "force tiling" in that tool actually forces the brush size to be a multiple of 4 (since the base pattern is 4x4) so the pattern doesn't break when strokes overlap.

but here is the good news: because my plugin uses aseprite's "align to destination" feature by default, the pattern is permanently glued to the canvas grid. this means when i add the coverage slider, we won't even need a "force tiling" checkbox! you'll be able to make the brush absolutely any odd size you want (like 5x5 or 7x7) and the pattern will still never break or look messy when you draw ( ˙▿˙ )

i'll definitely try to add the pattern coverage feature sometime around may-june ♡

hi! tysm for the kind words and for supporting the project, i'm really glad you like it!!! ( ˆ ꒳ ˆ )

about pressure sensitivity: to be completely honest, i draw exclusively with a mouse so i've never used tablet features myself! but looking into the code and api, it's unfortunately a strict limitation of aseprite itself right now. aseprite's native drawing tools only support pressure scaling for their default round/square brushes. since the brushes generated by this plugin are custom "image" brushes, the engine simply ignores pressure for them. if aseprite ever updates their engine to support dynamic pressure for image brushes, i'll definitely try to add it!!

about the brush switching back: you're totally right, and i get how annoying that can be. i actually spent a lot of time trying to balance this exact issue. the plugin relies on very active event listeners to apply randomizations, effects, and auto-updates. if i make these listeners less aggressive to stop the "hijacking", it can easily break the core plugin features or make the tools way more clunky to use. it’s a very delicate balance! (tbh i use it every day and just got so used to switching manually that it doesn't even bother me anymore lol). i'll still keep looking for a safe workaround for future patches though  ( ´ ꒳ ` )

as a quick tip for now: when you close the plugin window, it completely stops all background processes. you can assign a keyboard shortcut to the plugin (edit -> keyboard shortcuts -> search for brush manager) to open it super fast. this way, you can just close the panel when you need your regular default brushes, and pop it right back open with one key!

Hey! Use this thread to ask questions, leave feedback, or just chat about the plugin =3

I would also love to see what you create using my plugins or brush packs. I’m a big fan of pixel art, so feel free to share your drawings and animations here. It’s always cool to see how these tools are being used in real projects.

If you feel like you're missing a specific feature, a new effect, or just a handy shortcut, let me know. I want to keep making this tool better for all of us.

Keep in mind: Aseprite's API is a bit limited, so I might not be able to build everything you can imagine.

But I read all the comments and will definitely try to add the best ideas in future updates!

Just a reminder: The plugin is built for Aseprite v1.3.16 or newer. If you are using an older version, that's likely why it's breaking, as I’m using the latest API features.
