| Can't belive that someone skilled go that hard route called "make a normal paint app for os4". Brave ones deserve good donations and i will do soon more for sure.

| Quick feedback as I just downloaded it to try it out.
1) It asks for the device Sketchblock: on loading so I just assigned it to the drawer I downloaded. Read the documentation afterwards that told me this, however an Installer would be useful to do trivial stuff.
2) The Sketch Tools and Layers sub-windows are set to Always on Top which is kinda annoying if you have other stuff open.
3) Finally, these same two windows can never be set to 'Active' when clicking on GUI elements of the window; however this is more of an observation than a genuine problem - I assumes its a way to ensure focus always remain on the artwork window. Just seems odd the first time you observe it.
Anyway... looks good so far and as kas1e says... a bold challenge. Last edited by djrikki on 10-Mar-2012 at 10:54 PM. Last edited by djrikki on 10-Mar-2012 at 10:49 PM.

I'll write an installer later on when the design is more stabilised, other wise it'll just be amoving target.

Yes but press tab an the go away, press again to reopen. Probably make it an option at some point.

They use the new ToolBox attribute, it ,as you say, allows to to modify tools settings without changing the focus from th sketch window. It was afeature request Might make it an option _________________ BroadBlues On Blues BroadBlues On Amiga Walker Broad

Great work! SketchBlock is fast, fluid and very stable here on my Sam-flex.
We need more native development like this!
Looking forward to future updates.

| @all Thanks for the postive comments.
I'm quite pleased with the speed of it on my SAM, it's faster than GIMP on my linuxbox. On GIMP the largest image I can comfortably work on is about 1600 pixels square, on SketchBlock this afternoon I painted a 3000 x 2500 painting, with two layers. That's a result as far as I'm concerned.
My design goals will be to maintain that as I add features.
BTW in the Rexx drawer you find a benchbitmap.rexx script that give an idea of how fast it;s running on your system.
For example:
On my SAM Flex 733 I get.
9.Programing:Projects/SketchBlock/SketchBlock/distribution> rx Rexx/benchbitmap.rexx Circles 4425.32268 Pixels/ sec
If I choose the 'Circles' brush and start the script.
Anything over 2000 is acceptable IMHO.
The value is a guide to the speed at which you can move the brush and have it keep up with you. _________________ BroadBlues On Blues BroadBlues On Amiga Walker Broad

Excellent program, it feels great sketchin` and now I am considering a tablet (never thought about it, but this program really inspires!). Which one would be compatible with OS4? Pressure/angle etc are supported in OS4?
{edit} #1 It was actually answered before. What about the Wacom tablets? The features I mentioned above? Has anybody tried them?
#2 A strange output window message pops up "Button Loading failed 5E16EB78 5EF11E18 5FFFF800" {/edit} Last edited by Cass on 14-Mar-2012 at 02:04 PM. Last edited by Cass on 14-Mar-2012 at 12:13 PM.
