2/27/13: Updates to Paint Editor and Website
Greetings all!
Here are today's updates:
Website:
- Update homepage news items to pull directly from scratch blog @ /blog
- Fix for comment prompt (was only showing “Leave” instead of “Leave a comment”
- Show script and sprite count on project page (next to See Inside)
- Prevent deleted studios from showing on profile page
- Proper resizing of Studio image in left tab of studio when uploaded.
- Retain left hand state of explore page when switching between Studios and Projects.
- Add a prompt when adding projects or curators to studios by dragging
- Fix for tip bar positioning on small screens
- Remove ‘load more’ button when there are no more items
- Add rollover states on logged out homepage characters
Paint Editor:
- switch to “single color” model in the vector editor: Check this project out for an explanation!
- many “under the hood” changes working towards our two-image editor design, but the bitmap editor isn't available yet
Editor Bug fixes:
- fixed problem with converting the arguments of obsolete abs and sqrt blocks
- fixed a bug where moving draggable sprites in player or full-screen mode would set the “save needed” flag, leading to confusing warnings when trying to leave the page

Yay, we're getting a bitmap editor! I mean, the vector editor is really neat, but pixel art!

Hmmm… I still haven't seen any updates on the USERID and cloud variables front in almost two months.
I view cloud data as a HUGE part of 2.0… even bigger than the paint editor since I always use Paint.NET anyway. It would be really nice to hear a word from the Scratch Team as to their plans regarding cloud data.

Agreed. Maybe we should create a Scratch project petitioning for information and/or updates. Since cloud lists don't work… we could use the comments to record how many people are signing the petition. I'd be willing to maintain the in-project list, if we want to add one…Alright!

Will you be able to make two colors fade together like the 1.x editor?
I didn't get what you said.

Thanks a lot. There's still a lot to be done, but I'm very glad you can just fill in the center of a new circle by clicking the center rather than maddeningly trying to get the border.

You mean gradients? Hopefully they'll add that in the vector editor AND the bitmap editor. But they should have it so you could click and drag how far you want the gradient to go instead of just having the gradient only work in an enclosed area. Will you be able to make two colors fade together like the 1.x editor?
This scratch makes the older scratch look like it was put together by a bunch of cavemen.

Yeah, about the scripts and sprites display thing… I haven't been seeing any numbers no matter which browser I'm using. Am I supposed to be seeing how many sprites and scripts there are or just the grey sprites/scripts text with elongated grey bubbles next to them?
(update) Seeing them now. Oh, and by the way, you have CREATED a glitch with the single-color picker thingy. I basically can't even draw simple stuff anymore. This should be fixed! The old way worked better.

Thanks for the ride, Scratch Team and community! Unfortunately, the time has come for me to move on from Scratch, so I'll no longer be using the forums. Thanks again, and farewell!

Yay for patience! I don't think that's necessary.
You can be sure the Scratch Team is reading this forum.
I imagine they just haven't said anything because they don't have anything to say.
I'll just go back to being patient now.
Cloud variables are still being developed. They present significant and daunting moderation issues - and my understanding is that the implementation will be done in a phased fashion as we try to better understand those issues. I don't know the timing, sorry.
