It is nothing too exciting, just a little paint program.

Very nice :) Any plans of supporting, say .. .gif files, as in ... maybe load up some Windups icons, or BGs, and then edit them, or will it only use .pnt files?

This would be a real convienient app to make custom icons on the fly.

Do windup icons and backgrounds all use GIF files?

If so...can anyone point me to some C code that loads a GIF or an intelligible description of the format?


Also, the default color list I have is pretty weak. If anyone has a more sensible one I would love to have a copy of it so I could include it.

OK...it can load GIF files natively now. Working on the save code for GIF files next.

New version available!

v0.4 Changes:
GIF Support - Can load and save GIF files
New bigger default palette
Added the ability to display the whole palette
Added the ability to save the current palette
Added the ability to load a palette at runtime
Added status message during saves

The next release will probably be version 1.0 unless someone finds some bugs in this version.

The next release will include:
A NEW improved UI
Support for BMP images
Support for RAW images
A 16-bit palette internally
A dynamic color selector

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK. Unless I get feedback and requests for additional features I will probably consider the application complete after the next release.

Thanks,
Dalto

Do animated gifs work in this?
No, I did not implement the support for animated GIF's because this is intended to me more of an editor/painting program than a viewer.

I would be willing to implement it if enough people were interested. The challenge would be how do you edit them? An animated GIF is basically a bunch of seperate images inside a single file. Would edits affect them all or would there need to be some way to switch between the frames and then save the whole image?

Being able to make animated gifs frame by frame would certainly make this more interesting for me anyway! Make it into a game kinda :D.

Well depending on how much work it would take. Would be sweet though :). Thanks for the work on it already :).
 
YAY! New version! I'll try it out when I get home. AWESOME app ... I'll love editing my windups images on the go .... great job :D
 
Feedback:

Is there a way you can impliment a zoom feature? It would be awesome to be able to enlarge my windups icons, and work on them pixel-by-pixel.

Great job thus far :)

Good idea...I will add it to the list. Need to add custom canvas sizes first. Otherwise when you save your icon it will become a little icon surrounded by a bunch of white space.

Version 0.8 released. I edited the first post with the announcement and file because people were still downloading the old version.

The next release should be sometime this week and should include a better color quantization algorithm.

As always, feedback welcome.
 
Great work but 3 things :
- Could you increase the cursor speed because it's so slow...?
- Why can't I load my images, there is no file selector, just a white screen
- And yes the zoom feature would be great

Thanx for your work. :)

I can, have you tried holding A? That should speed it up. If you think that is still too slow let me know and I can make it faster.

The file loader is not very "full-featured" right now. It only looks in gpmm\gppaint for files.
