"Single FX" in the stack

[Fabrice]

Does someone work in "Single FX" with the FX-Stack ?

[Elodie]

I would personally say : no

[Patrice]

I think the question should be: "Does someone know there is a Single FX mode?"

[Sewie]

I didn't. And I've never used it.
Is it better or different than the normal FX mode ?

[Sierra Rose]

Well, I do use it. Otherwise, I get too many FX going and I have to uncheck the ones I don't want on and it gets too complicated for me. If I keep it on single FX, I eliminate this problem.

[malcooning]

not using it myself. i'm fine with ticking off effects.

That Sierra uses it is for me enough reason to leave it in , but personally i could live without it.

Another disadvantage of the SingleFX is that you can loose your current FX-settings if you add a new effect ( although this was only a real problem before the FXstack undo....)

[Patrice]

Instead of removing the single FX, maybe it is possible to merge it with the multiple one. Just adding a check box to only use the selected effect and not the others? just a thought.

[Sierra Rose]

I appreciate Peter's consideration.

I could live with it being merged with the multiple one.

Like an 'S' button, for Solo. (equivalent of the 'H' button in the layers panel).
This could work.

[lemec]

how about right-click a checkbox to turn on only ONE effect and turn off the others?

[StopmoNick]

The first thing I do with a new version of TV Paint is change it to Single Effect, so I know exactly what I am doing. I never use multiple effects, I hate effects lingering and being re-applied after I thought I was finished applying them - too easy to make a mistake and apply both the old and new effect together where only the new one is wanted. So my vote is to keep the single effect option.

As an aside - I was doing some illustration stuff and needed to aply an FX again and again: is there a way to create a shortcut for "apply last effect"? It was a bit tedious to open the FX panel again and again.

the shortcut is : FX Stack: Apply
