Thanks for the update, all good work, keep it up much appreciated! Any chance of a video tutorial for us too lazy to learn on our own (just don't get enough time with my Amiga)?

PS: Will donate again when I get paid.

I nearly downloaded the previous version last night and then thought I'd leave it a day or two. :)

@Broadblues

Nice clean looking interface (on v2.2 at least), you can work out the functionality just from the containers and icons, which is always good. Would love to try it out, not that I have any artistic talent to express through it.

Any screenshots of the new version in the meantime until the website gets updated for 2.3?

Knew there was something I'd forgot to do.

Website now updated. Ofcourse as with any documentation there is more to add...

It seems a pretty comprehensive website to give due credit, and I haven't even looked at the include documentation (although I noted the direction towards said docs in the readme ).

I havn't a clue as to how to put text onto an image. There is no doc on the subject and when I open a jpeg say and click on the text button nothing happens.

Hi Noel,

Load your Jpeg via the Project->Open menu item.

Choose menu item Layers->CreateText.

A small window should open with various text options.
If this doesn't open then ensure you have ProAction installed, it's required for script GUIs.

Type the required text in the string gadget, use *N for any new lines required. eg

"This*Ntext*Nis on three lines"

(quotes not required in the gadget.)

Choose your font. You must choose the actuall ttf or postscript file not it's amigaos reference (ie not .font)

eg 'Fonts:_Truetype/Arial.ttf'

This is because I'm using freetype for font processing, I need the actual line paths that make up the font and the bullet api doesn't give access to those.

Choose the font size, and line spacing with the height and baseline options.

The other options will either stroke the font outline with the current brush or fill the font outline.

Click the Create Text button.

A new layer with the text you requested will be created.

Drag and or resize this layer to the correct position.

Choose 'Project->Export as...' to save as a jpeg or Project->Save to save as a SketchBlock project.

If you get to the GUI stage and get no text, make sure the default font really exists on your system.
