Pivot v4.2 bug reporting thread (Updated v4.2.5 - 14/03/16)

also just noticed that if you have nothing on the canvas and then hit copy, it copies nothing (as in, if there's already something on your clipboard, it gets deleted)

Hi Tuna. Thanks, but I can't reproduce that. If you have no figures on the canvas, then the copy button should be greyed out (disabled). I also tried Ctrl+C and that didn't do it either. There's already a check to make sure that it only copies if there are figures, so what you describe shouldn't be possible.

oh what
neither can I. hmm.
it's possible that there was a 1 figure on the stage but off the screen, so when i copied it and then pasted, it pasted off the screen, and appeared to have erased previous clipboard stuff.

Yes, that's very possible. It will paste into the same position as the original. You can normally tell if there are no figures because the figure controls will be greyed out.

Hey Peter, I just have a little suggestion. At the bottom of the Stk editor, where it says the # of the thickness, and length, it'd be nice to just be able to manually enter the numbers instead of having to drag the lengths exactly and/or wait for the thickness to increase.

That'd be really nice actually, I spent like 25% of time in the figure building trying to get that angle to hit hit 0/90/180/270.

You said hit twice.

[Daniël]

I guess I did.

I'll think about that. It just means that I have to do lots of checking to make sure people aren't inputting stupid values.

Changes in Pivot 4.2.4

FIXED Access violation. Open animation, edit it, then open animation and select save changes.
FIXED Figure builder message 'Click to add' never shown while adding a segment.
FIXED Range check error when clicking a frame with no figures.
FIXED Rotate mouse wheel with cursor over red handle. Rotates segment but can no longer position figures normally. Can now use mouse wheel to rotate segments in 1 pixel increments instead of the arrow keys.
DONE Icons added to menu items in figure builder.

Thanks Peter, have been having a few issues with the previous version recently. ;P
Will give it a go, and post any bugs if I find any. :D

Probably the fastest update to date.

Pivot 4.2.5 beta can now be downloaded from the website, which adds several new keyboard shortcuts to make the process of creating animation faster. See the list of shortcuts below. Soon I'd like to make 4.2 the official stable version, so please make sure you report any bugs that you find. I can only do it with your help.
