Last Used Tools Button - Becomes a Custom Panel
Posted: 15 May 2013, 04:04
One FAVORITE new feature in TVP10 which I use quite frequently is the Last Used Tools Button - it's fantastic! It serves several functions:
1. Keeps track of all tools used INCLUDING cutbrush grabs (up to 64, at which point the oldest tool thumbnail falls off the grid when a new tool thumbnail is added).
2. The tool thumbnail not only remembers the tools but it also stores the A and B pen colors in use when that tool was active.
REQUEST ONE: A New Custom Panel which continuously displays the Last Used Tools Grid
I change brushes (frequently selecting four or five) then choosing at random from those during a drawing. Having to pop open the tools grid with the Last Use Tools Button EVERY TIME I want to reuse another tool is tiresome. It would be VERY helpful to have the tools grid become a new custom panel which could remain open during a drawing session.
It would be wonderful to be able to save and reload an entire tool-grid for future use, too.
REQUEST TWO: Add A and B Colors to Each Tool Thumbnail
Each time you change A or B colors, another copy of the tool is added to the tool grid. To differentiate between the two tools, the A and B pen colors could be inserted in each tool's thumbnail as shown below. Fact is, it would just be good to know what AB colors you will return to when choosing a previous tool.
