Right now, the focus is on completing the GTK+3 port for v3.0 and making room in API for upcoming serious changes in v3.2 such as non-destructive editing. Sounds good enough? :)
- themodelplumber 8y agoI'm feeling quite spoiled here--updates coming straight to the rabble from the source. :-) And when I'm still catching up with new features from last year! Now this non-destructive editing thing, can it also cure someone who rasterizes all of his text layers without making backups? ;-) (Really it does sound awesome)
- mpnordland 8y agoPerhaps. Nondestructive editing tends to preserve the original image and applies edits to a copy. It could do that in a way that makes that possible, but it's likely someone would need to specifically build the capacity to remember text layers like that. A naive implementation might just have two buffers and a list of pixel changesets and no knowledge of how the changes were made. A more advanced implementation could track more information, work on a per layer basis, and support the recovery of vector text layers from rastered ones. So I guess the answer is not by default, but it opens the door for it to be a thing.
- prokoudine 8y agoWell, the first thing to do will be using already existing API for attaching filters to layers. But yeah, what we do to text layers is a crime and should prosecuted :)
