3/7/13: Updates to Website, Vector Paint Editor
Here are today's updates:
Website:
- View all remixes page for projects. (See “View All” link in the “Remixes” panel on the project page.)
- View all studios page for projects. (See “View All” link in the “Studios” panel on the project page.)
- URLs to pages on scratch in About Me / What I'm Doing / Instructions / Notes now turn into links for viewers.
- @username now turns into a link to that user's profile page in About Me / What I'm Doing / Instructions / Notes
- Logo now switches styles on hover like the SWF
- Add curators by name box now appears in addition to the explore bar when adding studio curators.
- Doubled the number of comments that load in each “page” of comments on project page
- Studios now have correct page titles.
- added studio pre-deletion confirmation dialog
- fixed long text cutoff on editable fields
- added editable fields scrollbar code for when the text is longer than the field.
Paint Editor:
Changes to the vector editor:
- Added a continuous color picker
- Added the ability to draw solid or hollow shapes
- Removed the eraser tool (Now you shift-click on a point in the reshape tool to cut a shape)
- Moved tools to the right side
- Zoom will now zoom in on the currently selected / reshaped object
- Replaced “paint bucket” icon with “paint-brush”, to differentiate behavior of color set tool in vector editor
- Ability to cut open paths by shift-clicking on path anchor points
+ lots of work to the bitmap editor, but we aren't ready to make it visible / enable it yet.
Project Editor (Bug fixes):
- Stage edge limiting code updated to use integers only, to fix problems with triggering.

- Replaced “paint bucket” icon with “paint-brush”, to differentiate behavior of color set tool in vector editorI don't like the idea of replacing the paint bucket with a paint brush. The fill bucket icon is well known throughout all applications.

Why removed the erase tool? It is needed for cleaning around an imported image.
