Re: It's cool!

Okay, good points. Let's take them one by one:

* Zooming. I just didn't manage to finish the bird's eyeview panel in time, I'm afraid, and I never thought about adding a menu option to go back to 1:1 zoom.
* Deselecting with rmb: that's a good idea... Could you add that to bugzilla? That way it's less likely to be forgotten by us.
* Text: I won't do much work on text layers for now. I'm playing with the idea to have the other KOffice components do that work, by inserting their objects as layers.
* Rotate: see deselect...
* Crop rectangle: Because we didn't manage to code that in time...
* That's probably an oversight -- I cannot run Krita at this moment because an injudicious hack is giving me trouble and I need to recompile, but if there's no gradient option in the shape tool option widget combobox, then it should be added... Workaround: use the shape selection tools to select the right shape and fill that with the gradient.
* I'm not sure about the last point, I've never had a problem with seeing what the current color would be because I look at the selection widget, not the color button in the control frame.

Anyway, I've added some points to the TODO, but if you want to track progress, please take the time to add them to bugzilla, too.

Koffice components as layers? That would be insane. So I could have a bitmap, with a vector layer from Karbon14, and a text layer from Kword? Now that would be a killer feature.

While I am dreaming, it would be even cooler if there were fx layers I could apply to these layers so that I could have a something like a drop shadow or transformation dynamically applied to my Kword layer as I updated it.

It may be a dream, but not an impossible one. I fact I don't think it would be too long before we start working on it. The whole layer thing: adjustment layers, grouping of layers, and layers from other KOffice applications is all on our todo. Currently though, all of us developers are deep into other features, but with the rate we are progressing right now...who knows.

But if you like krita just a little bit today - you just wait - you ain't seen nothing yet. LOTS of cool things and behind the scene improvements are being done or are planned.
