Release date: July 7, 2019Select a file to download
Release notes for this version
- Layers
- Added warning when trying to merge down to a locked or hidden layer
- Place selection when switching active layer (at least in the common case)
- Added "Crop and Fit" dialog (not all options work)
- Better handling for unknown layer types in NPSD file - load raster data if it's present, use better placeholder image
- Rendering
- Optimized multilayer rendering performance
- Fixed selection bug where it was overwritten by the background layer in single-layer images
- Disable loading of legacy (NPS 2.x) filters. These haven't worked particularly well since 3.0 but now it's finally time to give up supporting an extension model from 2008. If you happen to know of a legacy filter you want, please let me know and I'll create a wrapper for it.
- Scripting
- Added basic Script Manager that lets you create, edit, delete, and organize. Opens system editor (notepad) for now. Better manager/editor will come eventually.
- Allow organizing scripts into subfolders
- Added Open Script to open a .npss file from anywhere on your system
- Cleaned up Component Manager
- Added: General Extensions, Filters, Textures, Scripts
- Removed placeholders: Color Schemes, Menus and Toolbars, Legacy Filters, Import/Export. (Some of these will be added when those features are implemented.)
- Brushes, textures, and scripts should reload correctly when editing in the managers
- Removed Color Mode / Indexed Palette menus (present since 3.0 alphas but always nonfunctional) and color management menus (present in some nightlies but likewise nonfunctional). These will come back when the features in question are implemented.
