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

[peterbone]

No bugs to report. Just would like to personally thank you for bringing out an updated version of Pivot 4. I have yet to download it, but will soon and it looks like a lot of fun with all the new features. :)

Thanks. Wait for 4.2.2. Should be any day now.

I can't export animations as gifs, well I think I do until I open the folder with the gif in it and it's not there.

That sounds strange. Where are you exporting to? Try exporting to Desktop.

v4.2.2 should now be available with several bug fixes. A few bug fixes still to do but they're less serious.

When I install 4.2.2 or 4.2.1.. Basically the new version, my desktop icons disappear and the installation doesn't even finish..ever.. wth.

had an animation open. opened a different animation, and these two error messages popped up (in that order) it's happened once before while using pivot 4.2, however i put it down to an anomaly. this is the second time its happened, so i thought i might report it (i don't remember if i opened the same animation last time i made that error happen). no idea whats causing it.

Thanks. Does it happen every time with that animation? Can you send me the piv file? Also, update to 4.2.2 if you haven't already, although I don't think it will make a difference for this error.

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)

[Daniël]

I was just thinking what would be pretty cool. If you could keep the stickfigure builder open in a in a box next to your canvas at all times, so you can switch really easily from animating to creating figures.
Just a thought though.

[Ray]

Ever think about adding the ctrl+z to the entire program instead of just the figure creator? Lots of times I might accidentally delete the wrong figure and have to put it back into the right pose again.

[Daniël]

Don't know about you, but I'm using Ctrl+Z non-stop when animating. It's already a function, man.

[Ray]

My bad. I feel even more stupid because I use ctrl+z too! Next time I'll be sure something I suggest isnt already a function. lol

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.
