Allow non-square cursor and resolution about openoutpaint HOT 21 CLOSED

sure can, just pull in the latest updates to the main branch, select the dream tool, drag-n-drop any arbitrary rectangle of your choosing, and click inside it to confirm your region :) the step-by-step example mentions it, just search the page for "crosshair"

hah, "discrete x/y axes for reticle" has actually been on the //todo for a while :) one of these days i'll stop ignoring that one...

from openoutpaint.

This one will be... a bit interesting to implement. Mainly because, when scaling the cursor, the number on the slider should represent the horizontal or vertical resolution of the cursor? We could display both on the slider bar, but only one would be text-editable.

from openoutpaint.

i honestly kinda wonder if this should be an entirely different tool, similar to the marquee selector; just drag over the region to dream over and probably some kind of input confirmation?

from openoutpaint.

Maybe click uses the currently set size, and click-and-drag will resize relative to the currently set size, possibly with a confirm button at the end? Though, it could be useful to also have the option of setting the size you want by typing and/or with sliders as well.

from openoutpaint.

Well, we do have some events from the mouse lib that can differentiate a drag from a click, so this could be something relatively easy to implement.

Just some qualms over the actual generation resolution though. Maybe we can assume drag areas will be one-to-one...

Personally, I think it would be intuitive if that was the default. Perhaps even have the checkbox from #90 be checked by default?

from openoutpaint.

We could do that, actually. I feel like #99 is confusion due to this functionality, and anyway, the settings are saved in local storage, so one would only have to change that once.

From 3ef2bce sync is default.

@TiagoTiago please check if this (fb83b12) is okay for now It's on testing branch as well. If you find any issues using the tool, please tell us here. For now, supports only one-to-one resolution. Drag creates an area, left click accepts, right click resets.

Plans to support changing the resolution for this is on the board, but not implemented yet.

from openoutpaint.

Showing some sort of indicator of what to do to confirm/cancel the area selection would probably be a good idea, since not all users will read documentation and stuff.

from openoutpaint.

I think this would start polluting the cursor quite a bit... We can try adding a status bar like in blender, photoshop and krita:

Some status and error messages could also use this, so wouldn't be just for control overview.

from openoutpaint.

Maybe use the same menu system that's used for interacting with new generations, and for interrupting/canceling unfinished ones?

from openoutpaint.

Or perhaps like the text that indicates the size of the cursor on the canvas?

from openoutpaint.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to avoid... Putting much more stuff in the cursor, especially considering these instructions are useful for someone's first time using the tool, but kind of becomes a hindrance afterwards.

from openoutpaint.

Status bar would be an welcome addition though. But probably a good idea to make it optional for people that wanna maximize screen space.

from openoutpaint.

Yeah, I'm thinking that 25px would not be a huge loss. Still, a way to make it act like a windows bar and show only when there is a new notification or something like that would be best. I was even thinking of making some of the floating windows optional, as not everyone wants their screen occupied by the layers window, especially when doing a quick sketch/generation.

from openoutpaint.

And many people would be okay with just ctrl-z and ctrl-y without the need to see the full history.

from openoutpaint.

Maybe now it is more intuitive? It functions like other area interactions now. Hover converts cursor into pointer, it interacts more clearly with already generated images. Selection acceptance now requires a click inside the area itself.

from openoutpaint.

Will consider this as done for now. Status bar is in development, but will take a bit. The changes done to the drag select interface should make it intuitive enough for now.

from openoutpaint.

You can select non square Dream (D)? How?
