ImagePlay 0.4 Ideas

I’ve been working on a couple new features for ImagePlay 0.4, I think the most popular is going to be the Undo system. Each project will have its own Undo History. It’s still in the infant stages at the moment, only handling a few basic actions. The screenshot below shows the Undo History window, that lets you jump back/forward through the actions by just clicking at a point in the list, which is very handy. I think it could be made to look a bit nicer, but I’m not sure exactly how yet.

The other major new feature, which is in the very early stages (I haven’t even moved the code into ImagePlay yet) is the ability to do free-form drawing. This would be most useful (to me anyway) when masking-off images. Right now I plan on implementing it so that it will show up just like any other effect in the list. You’d add a “Draw” effect to the layer in question, and then click an edit button and be dropped into an interface to let you draw all over the layer, and maybe even edit/rearrange draw objects just like you can with layers. But that’s still a ways off.
