Tool Preview

Post by Satrip »

I've noticed the tool preview under the cursor stay "stuck" near the end of any stroke for barely half a second, before to go back under the cursor..
This is light but a bit annoying.
I know I can set the tool preview off, but there's some drawing tool that are much more convenient to use with it activated.

Also, a few things off-topic:
-Could it be possible to set a custom temp folder?

-I'd like to have the same cursors as in the windows version.. Those opaque cross/arrow/point here are very unconfortable to draw with!

-When launching TVPaint from command line, I always have these lines on the terminal:
"EVENT RESULT : 21
EVENT RESULT : 19"
I don't know if it's important, If it means something to you..

Check if the realtime drawing smoothing mode is checked, if not, at the end of the stroke, TVP clear the stroke and redraw it with the good smoothing. This redraw can delay the preview a little bit.

in the preference panel: Edit->Preference->General->Temp Directory

In a beta version, it's normal to print some info :wink:

I've done a screencast to show precisely my problem.
This happens with or without drawing smooth activated .
I've tried on TVP standard 8.6.4 on winXP, with the exact same tool, it doesn't happen.



Also for the temp directory, I know the option in "Preference" but I can't use it: I can't erase/write anything in it, and when I click on "Choose" nothing happens (with both system and tvp file explorer).
So I guess this is a bug.

After more tests I've noticed this tool preview delay appears when I have the Navigator panel open.
As soon as I hide it, the delay disappear.

Also when I activate the "play" button on the Navigator the delay almost disappear (this is strange because it should take more resource to display the animation preview than only a single image preview).
