not a spec yet, just a lash-up to begin with…
first stab at the tool options
some notes
- all blue links (underline on mouseover) link to the corresponding pop-up entry in the dockable (below) that will be raised when a link is clicked;
- the ‘Brush dynamic’ link links to the Mapping matrix pop-up entry in the dockable that will be raised when the link is clicked;
- all brush dynamics input buttons are without border (only on mouse-over), use the UI theme's link color to paint the icons and link to the corresponding pop-up entry in the dockable that will be raised when one of these buttons is clicked;
- the full input label is shown by a tooltip for the brush dynamics input buttons;
- ‘E1’ is an external (midi) controller, more can be configured;
- a Hardness parameter is introduced here below Opacity and the Spacing parameter is moved here from the brush dockable;
- the Preview & Practice button sets the canvas in preview/practice mode, more on that later…
the new dockable
some notes
- the user-presets section from the top is stolen from the levels/curves dialog; there are only user-made and named presets, no automatically generated ones with time-stamps because this is a dockable dialog without ‘OK’ semantic;
- the pop-up list second from the top has the mapping matrix and then all the inputs and outputs listed in two sections. it addresses the questions: “what is hooked up?”, “what does this input control?” and “what control this output?”
- on the left, the mapping matrix:
- all blue links (underline on mouseover) link to the corresponding pop-up entry in this dockable;
- all brush dynamics input buttons are without border (only on mouse-over), use the UI theme's link color to paint the icons and link to the corresponding pop-up entry in this dockable;
- the full input label is shown by a tooltip for the brush dynamics input buttons;
- the check-marks are set/cleared with a click and are synchronised with the check-marks in the lists of the in/out curves pages;
- the jitter–to–jitter mapping cannot be enabled, which is denoted by the ‘✕’;
- mid and right: the in/out curves:
- depending if at the top an input or an out put is chosen, all valid outputs or input are shown in the scrolling list at the bottom;
- the scrolling list has check-marks on the left to switch on/off a input->output mapping;
- only curves for mappings that are on are shown
- the highlighted and on mapping is editable as a curve, its line color is fg (black here), all other curver are 50% fg/bg (grey here);
- the min/max triangles on the right of the curves track the min and max of the highlighted curve; dragging one of the triangles itself moves the min or max of the curve and scales the whole curve;
- the ‘Show current XYZ input’ checkbox enables the tracking of the input (either the one selected in the pop-up or highlighted in the scrolling list) in a way similar as the color sampling is shown in the Curves dialog (vertical line at current value);
