Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

What slowtiger calls "save alpha" is called "Preserve Transparency" and in the left part of the layer panel you have to clik on the small black dot under the Alpha symbol (second dot from the right)

you can already do this.
First mark the frames of interest with an image marker and set the lightable to "Mode Image Mark"

Again today... i tried to do some spacing along a horizontal axis, just using SHIFT and a mouse, but despite me moving the mouse very delibertately straight, the object very often starts moving along a 45 degree angle!? why is 45 DEG there...? Can anyone explain why its necessary to have this option...

yes +1!

tvpaint 11.7.3

when i set an offset/pivot and i then change the x-offset/position, the keyframe result suddenly will flip over (upside down)? its very confusing.

Did i miss some notes on how the new offset option works in 11.7.3?

It seems something did change. the name 'high' and 'highest' are a bit confusing because 'highest' has the same algorithm as 'high' but the difference is that it applies it in a smart way. that is why it should remain and it does make sense if its called smart and not highest (because the AAliasing ...

i must say even after reading this thread i don't fully understand what this would add that can not already be done?
i also find the name "mode layer" very confusing as layers are orientated vertically while all the other options are all referring to horizontal units.

Ah yes, best to first update to v10.5.7
its free.

You are are drawing on a new frame but not on a new drawing.
if you want a new drawing you should first clear the frame.

if you want a layer filled with a range of empty frames, select all frames (double click or drag under the layer) and press clear (skull and bones button in the main panel)

Excellent UI improvement suggestions Lukas! i like your suggestion of having the instance handles only show when hovering over the instance. It would indeed make for a much less cluttered view of the layer. Your other suggestion is also very good and i believe easier to implement: To NOT color code ...

Hey Lucas, great that you are sharing this!
I have seen this panel on the system of may former frameorder trainees and some functions are really great.
For instance i like the layer[LABLAY] and instance naming buttons. Very usefull!

I remember Mark Chong (Lemec) once built an elaborate colorpicker for TVPaint that looked just like that.
Perceptual Palette.

If i remember correct it no longer worked in the 64bits version...
anyway i don't have it anymore. Not sure if Marc is still around?

weird, if i set an angle on the brush and then try to do a brush warp with the filling shape, there is no rotation?

how do you set the angle?

Turned out it was a simple copy/paste mistake.
i omitted the first line of the grg script

It works now. Thanks!

A couple of things I thought about (If it would be implemented) -It would be handy if it asked where to save the files -Have the ability to save each created file in a sub-folder (with the same name) -Maybe it would be better if it not automatically opened every file -And there should be a good met...
