11.7.3/12.0 Problems from WIT STUDIO

[Hironori Takagi]

Our studio is considering switching from the current version 11.0.8 to 11.7.3 or 12.0.
After several days of testing, we have found five issues.

(1)Locking a layer makes the transparency invisible, which is inconvenient.

(2)Is it possible to add a mode where the cursor does not appear when using tool preview?

(3)Japanese lacalizarion of clipboard menu want to back to 11.0.x

(4)Under certain conditions, the menu is displayed horizontally instead of vertically.

(5)When try to use the hand tool after changing the pen in the floating custom panel,
it becomes a pen instead of a hand tool.

The multi-monitor issue that I have privately inquired about in the past is something that I would like resolved as a top priority,
but I would also appreciate your consideration of these requests.

thank you.

Hello Hironori Takagi,

I will try to answer to all your inquiries :

(1)Locking a layer makes the transparency invisible, which is inconvenient.

We thought it should more logical that the Opacity and the blending mode were locked and unusable if the Layer is locked.
Locking the layer "protects" against any modification, that's why we disable these options if locked.

(2)Is it possible to add a mode where the cursor does not appear when using tool preview?

We will talk with our devs to see what can be done, this is actually not possible.

(3)Japanese lacalizarion of clipboard menu want to back to 11.0.x

We have to see our localisation and what can be done.

(4)Under certain conditions, the menu is displayed horizontally instead of vertically.

The bug as been identified and fixed and will be available in the next update [TVPA-3649]

(5)When try to use the hand tool after changing the pen in the floating custom panel, it becomes a pen instead of a hand tool.

The bug as been identified and fixed and will be available in the next update [TVPA-3662]

Could you tell us again ( maybe in PM if necessary ?) the multi-monitor issue you privately inquired ?

I have a suggestion for (1). This is a method that is also supported by Photoshop etc.

I ask that you continue to consider items (2) to (5).

For multi-monitor issues, please refer to the following topics:

I would also like to quote what I said in the closed session.

a) Menu navigation using the pen tip on screens other than the main monitor is interrupted immediately.
(Example: When trying to go to Edit → Preferences, the tab closes)
b) "Mapping screen switching (main monitor → all desktops)" on WACOM tablet trouble:
When inside the TVPaint window, it will immediately return to the main monitor and you can only operate it using the mouse.
-> Problems that occur when using a stylus in these multi-monitor environments continue to occur.

This issue occurs in all versions of TVPaint starting with Windows 11. There is a workaround, but it is a problem that I would like to resolve.

Hello Hironori Takagi,

This is indeed a solution we have in mind, to have a better understanding of the locked layer.

I ask that you continue to consider items (2) to (5).

These issue are in our to-do list, some has been resolved and for the others we have to investigate.
