[1.5.0.28] Layer Opacity by pressing numbers + repaint


Recommended Posts

Some small problems I had with the "Layers"-Window.

 

 

1. Keyboard Input

  • I had a line drawn in the Pixel Persona
  • Cutted a piece out of it
  • Then I had selected one part and it's layer in the "Layers"-Window
  • then press a number on the keyboard multiple times in a row
  • do this with different numbers again and again

It will automatically adjust the "Opacity %".

But in a strange way.

 

I would for example expect it to cycle through up to 100% and start over again like this:

1 = 1%

11 = 11%

111 = 100%

1111 = 1%

11111 = 11%

...

 

But sometimes it is like this:

1 = 10%

11 = 10%

111 = 11%

1111 = 10%

 

sometimes:

1 = 10 %

11 = 10%

111 = 10%

1111 = 10%

11111 = 11%

 

and so on. As I don't currently know what value is behind the control I only can explain the behavior.

 

 

2. Repaint issue

 

Additionally it had a repiant problem while doing this, some areas keptl ight gray.

3. Long and short Layer-Names

 

I had created a long line for a layer name and then I thougt:

Would it be good if the short layer names would always follow and so be shown when scrolling to the right and only the longer names would scroll.

But I don't know if that makes sense.

Hi af-user

 

The opacity value that you key from the keyboard entry depends on the speed it was entered. If you press the key slowly then it will always show 10%. If you press the key quickly you will get 11 (or whatever value). This goes up to 100% but doesn't cycle back round until you leave it for a second or so, eg pressing 11111111 quickly will only show 100%

 

Are you able to provide any more information on your repaint issue. How were you trying to repaint the line? Is there an example file we can look at?

 

The final layers suggestion is more of a feature request that would be general to poth platforms, feel free to raise it as a separate thread in our feature requests section

I attached the file.

And I was again able to reproduce the light gray part after cylcing through the layers and chaning the Layer Opacity multiple times with number keys.

 

Thist ime I ended up like this and when I then zoom in it gets black again:
