Bug ID: 459868
Summary: Tools: Bug and Feature Requests
Classification: Applications
Product: KXStitch
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: steve.allew...@gmail.com

Target Milestone: ---
Tools > Draw: ONLY produces a line or polygon of quarter-stitches, REGARDLESS
of what stitch has been chosen in the "Stitches" drop down menu, and there is
no combination of settings anywhere in KXStitch that changes this output. I've
tried them all. Repeatedly.
Obviously, the Tools > Draw function should produce a line of stitches that
matches the user's selection in the "Stitches" drop down menu.
Also, Tools > Select from the drop down menu clips (or copies or cuts) with the
gridded background visible. This is suboptimal for copy/pasting design elements
from either the active pattern or the Library Manager, as Pasting the selection
into the design _also_ overwrites all other underlying stitches with the
selection rectangle. There are no Settings that change this, anywhere.
It would be much better if the Tools > Select function selects ONLY for
non-background elements, and clip them to a transparent background. Pasting
should not overwrite previous work with the background pattern contained in the
selection.
FEATURE REQUESTS
* Have "Select" do more than just select for a rectangle.
* Allow more editing functions for better control over pattern output. Files >
Print Setup, and better control over how patterns sections are displayed on
pages. At present, either the clumsy pattern sectioning of the software must be
accecpted, the whole "pattern" must be ouput as an image on a single page and
be cut up using Gimp or similiar.
* In a similar vein, when setting up a print, allowing the choice of an
"overlap" of columns and rows on patterns sections, for user convenience would
be great. Especially if there's the ability to add shading to columns, rows,
and specific pattern elements to indicate that they are "overlapped" from a
contiguous page.
Thanks!
