@kas1e

uploading now..thanks again

@kas1e

Would it be hard to add a 'standard' file requestor? The one that comes with it is kinda hard to use.

(I apologize if this has been asked before, I'm too lazy to read through 5 pages of posts! )

@RacerX

Will be not so hard imho, and i can do it (and will try for next releases), but, it will broken the whole design of programm .. will see. Anyway even if it will be a bit "out of design" its still better t have fast and freendly asl req, if compare with original one from programm

(in other words will try for next update).

@RacerX and others

Already implement ASL req to LodePaint (for now for open only, and need to add "save position" for browsing), but it already load files and grab name from asl requester. Check that screenshot.

@kas1e

Nice!

@ALL
New version in upload query. Just add ASL requester for file loading (with saving the position, so when you will exit from programm, and run it again, last direcotry from which you load it will be saved).

Save As for now are original one, because our ASL have no possible to create one more gadget in requester where you can choice type of file for saving. So, looks like need to create 2 windowses : one with choicing image format type, and next one - asl. But imho it will make no big sense to have 2 windowses, except one original one ?

Anyway, for now loading are nice. Thanks to Fab for help about C coding :)

@kas1e

holy mack the new requester makes a world of difference on my machine..big THANKS: ...before it would take a lot of clicks and awkard lag time to load up a saved file but now it's nice and fast..very useable program now on my Samflex !

@kas1e

could you please put the new requester also when saving files as it would be very helpful

The problem there because for save the files, you need choice image format (png/jpg/etc). With original Save requester, you have clikable gadget at bottom, where you can choice format in which you want to save file. With ASL requester its not possible to choice (you can't add one more gadget string to Asl requester, where you can choice file type for). In that terms ASL requester suck very much.

I see for now only one solution: After user press SaveAs - bring reaction or mui window with list of available image formats for saving, then, bring asl requester. Or for first bring asl, then window with avail formats. But that will be 2 windowses (for now its only one, even if its a bit slow). Dunno how will be better ..

Maybe anyone have any ideas how it should be organized ?

@kas1e

I'd go for the double requester option:
1. First a format selector
2. Then an ASL requester which, preferably, will automatically add the proper image extension to the file name (jpg for jpeg etc)

Keep up the great work man! :)

@Vulture

It is possible by ASL add that ? (i mean automatically format for file for saving) ? I for first think that maybe will need create a markable gadget on first window, where you can choice - automatically add file format on saving stage, or type it manually

@kas1e

tbh I have no idea if adding an extension automatically is possible with asl, I just assumed it would be and so I proposed it.

@ALL
New version in upload query on os4depot. New since last release:

-- Added "square" option to the rectangle tool
-- Changed the way mouse input of line, gradient line, rectangle, circle by 2 points and ellipse works: it now uses dragging instead of two clicks, to be more similar to what users are used to.
-- Added "Brightness", "Saturation" and "Hue" options to the Generate Random Noise filter
-- Fixed bug with the morphology filters: the wrong filter doing the wrong operation
-- Preview in filter dialogs now has same width/height ratio as the drawing
-- Multithreading, progress bars and busy indicators are now used for filters. Not yet supported for operations that change the image size.
-- Added "Crayons" color palette

-- And of course new icon from Mason :)

@kas1e

You?re great!!! Is it possible to fix all the updates through amiupdate?

@Joeled

Dunno, never use AmiUpdate.. But all that updates usually not only changing of exe only, but all those plugins , directory layot and alt. Imho will be a bit boring for AmiUpdate.

That is true, as being discussed in the other thread.

I'm afraid unless we get an updated ASL save requester supporting file format selection (not very likely anytime soon IMHO), you need to apply this two-step solution. The more logical sequence is

1. Format selector
2. Filerequester

It is because when clicking OK in the filerequester, the user expects the file to be saved right away, not going through another step. That's why you should let them select the fileformat first and then open the filerequester.

Are you familiar enough with ReAction? I can program the format selector GUI for you if you want me to.

@trixie

Yes, if you can, write plz Gui selector, it will be good to have SaveAs in amiga way too.

ps. can you start plz new topic about ASL, where we can summarize all the suggestions and Rigo can send them for the main ASL programmer (i am lost a bit in it).
