Armorpaint: Renaming a layer paints on it

Created on 14 Dec 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: armory3d/armorpaint

ArmorPaint version:
ArmorPaint.org - v0.8 (2020-12-14) - d884048 but the issue is not new

  1. Double click on a material
  2. Double click on a layer
  3. Now as both are open the layer-name edit field is over the layer.
  4. If any drawing related tool is selected: By selecting the edit field to rename the layer I unintentionally paint the object.

Finally one usability remark: I only found out by chance that I can rename layers in this view. Intuitively I would have expected this functionality on double click (obviously not applicable here) or on right click in the context menu. Maybe it would improve the usability to add a rename entry in the context menu. It could either turn the Layer name into a edit field (similar to renaming objects in Blender) or open texture view and set the focus on the layer edit field?

Thank you for the nice double click layer rename feature. It is great and very intuitive.
Merry Christmas 馃巹 and thank you for your awsome work. I use ArmorPaint since August and the improvements are simply unbelievable. I really enjoy using it.
I wish you all the best.
And finally a unrelated question: When do you expect to release version 0.8? I ask because I'd like to contribute a complete german translation before release.

Right click menu initiates only if the cursor is exactly above layer name. Maybe a drop-dawn menu, like the blending one, is better. Otherwise a larger area for right clicking it would be more easy and efficient.
Merry Christmas and thank you for all your hard work

All should be well now, thanks for excellent feedback!

Want to tackle the last two issues for 0.8 release, updated the roadmap at https://github.com/armory3d/armorpaint/projects/4. I will do some "release candidate" before the final release so there is time to update translations. 馃檪
