Hello,

There seems to be a major issue where performance suddenly drops to a point where Aseprite because unresponsive for about 30 seconds when zooming in and then selecting a square using the rectangular selection tool. To be specific, here is how I reproduce it:

1. Open new sprite 128x128
2. Zoom in to zoom level = 4800
3. Choose the Rectangular Marquee Tool
4. Start dragging a selection box around some pixels (opaque or transparent)
5. Once the box gets bigger than ~ 16x16 the UI starts to increasingly slow down.
6. Once the box gets to be about 32x32 pixels then the UI becomes unresponsive and I have to wait about 30 seconds for it to be responsive again.

Please tell me that I am doing something wrong and/or how to fix this, since it is making Aseprite somewhat unusable for me! If it is in fact a bug with a simple fix then I can try to submit a PR for it myself since I am a developer.

Thanks David

Aseprite and System version

• Aseprite version: 1.3-dev (built from latest commit in repo), although I've had the same issue with previous versions, so it has existed for a while. 4k monitor, with UI scaling to 200% (though not sure if that is relevant).

• System: Linux Mint 19.1 / Cinnamon desktop. Power machine with 8 cores and 64GB memory (i.e., a program like Aseprite should have no problem doing basically anything on this system).

You changed the license in this commit: https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/commit/5ecc356a41c8e29977f8608d8826489d24f5fa6c

It would be awesome to hear why you did that and what the reason was. There's a negative discussion going on on reddit regarding GPL work from other contributors of this project. I think it's important to explain things, because there might be a shitstorm rising about this project - which I personally would think would be a shame.

I'm just here to let you know about it, would be bad to see a shitstorm about this awesome project, so please go explain things on reddit to let people understand the reasons.

Used latest prebuilt skia

Using mouse wheel in Aseprite causes the window to scroll up and down, using ctrl + mouse wheel causes the window to zoom. My settings show mouse wheel to zoom is checked

How can I use mouse wheel to zoom in without holding ctrl?
On the windows version ctrl + mouse wheel changes brush size, how can I change brush size on OS X using the mouse wheel?

Is there another way to change brush size easily that I don't know about or some setting to change this behavior?

Aseprite and System version

• OS X 10.15.7
• Aseprite 1.2.25 (Steam)

This overlay image could be bigger than the current sprite size, so the zoom wouldn't affect it and we could see our small sprite with an overlay image of huge resolution as background.

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Install Arch Linux AUR version 0.9.5 2. Start aseprite 3. Experience mouse lag when moving cursor around screen What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected native mouse speed without lag but instead the mouse had a huge amount of lag making it unusable. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Version 0.9.5 running on Arch linux using Linux 3.12 x86, xfce 4.8, Nvidia Geforce Proprietary drivers.

Please provide any additional information below. Seems like a similar issue to https://code.google.com/p/aseprite/issues/detail?id=76 but I tried both changing the ScreenScale to 1 and starting a seperate x instance but neither helped remove the mouse lag.

I googled around for solution but only found the previous bug report and a report from another user of a similar lag experince on linux http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/category/ld-27/?author_name=meszka (mentioned in the 'Graphics tools' section)

Original issue: http://code.google.com/p/aseprite/issues/detail?id=283

I tried building aseprite as per INSTALL.md, with installing the old SDK and all, but cmake doesn't exit cleanly I built it with this command cmake DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES:STRING=i386 -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET:STRING=10.4 -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT:STRING=/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk .. and this is the error I got: http://pastebin.com/b6EjgepY

Greetings,

I read the install.md file but I'm getting compilation errors. When on master I get errors when running cmake -G Ninja ..

Can somebody please help me? I'm using the following: OS X 10.11.4 CMake 3.5.2 Ninja 1.6.0 XCode 7.3 and the command line tools

I also have the Skia library compiled somewhere but I'm confused how to use/add it...

Thanks!

I have a sprite with a few overlapping tags in the animation/layers pane, but if two loop tags begin on the same frame (or even on a nearby frame), the tags can overlap, making the occluded one inaccessible without (as far as I know) deleting the superposed loop. Which I don't want to do.

If we could have some way of either selecting a loop from, maybe a context menu of overlapping ones (generated on-the-spot when multiple tag labels overlap) or have the space loop labels appear in grow and shrink automatically when tags would overlap (example below), that would be dandy!

I made this mock-up of what I was thinking, if it's of any help:

The upper section is the existing form; the lower part is the same data presented in a format I'd imagined based on the interface as it is now. There's also a new button there, that collapses the tags area into a single row (as it currently exists). Perhaps when labels overlap, only the first letter is shown, and the label is offset according to length (with the labels for longer loops occurring last, so that they're above at least some of their frames)? It might also be convenient if the loop selection brackets were coloured after the loop labels!

Thanks for considering it!

It's not finished yet, I am opening it to start the discussion.

As we talked on #152, I placed a button with the eye icon on the right side of the onionskin to toggle the cel preview (it is not being persisted on the DocPref yet), as it covers a lot of important info about the cel I thought that a quick toggle should be pretty important, because both see it and not see it are useful.

I didn't found that easy to make it appear on the preview window, so I did an overlay, I had some problems to invalidate, but it seems alright now.

It seems right to me to cache the surfaces that I am using to plot the thumbnails on the timeline -- even if on my machine its not slow to draw --, but I don't know where exactly to place them, the timeline does not seem to know the lifetime of the document, and even less of the cels, and I am not sure if it's ok to place a surface inside the image object so it can die with it.

What do you think, do I dish this cache? Place it on the image object?

Greets,

Following INSTALL.md @ https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/blob/8775604e5629bb73d9133e41b46efe3f11d48334/INSTALL.md#mac-os-x-details with the additions. Here is my command:

So do you have any more notes for how we'd be able to build with skia?

Is skia the kind of thing we can just use as a submodule and build from source like the other external deps? I'm aware its not distributed in packages on distros to my knowledge.

If you reveal the Timeline using a hotkey (default: Tab), it does not become interactible until the cursor has been moved. To put it another way, if you press Tab to reveal a hidden Timeline pane and the cursor is over top of it, clicking does nothing until the mouse has been moved.

Admittedly, this is a rather fringey case and it has only been a problem for me twice, and it is the most trivial thing in the world to workaround since moving the cursor a single pixel "wakes up" the Timeline to mouseclicks and the software behaves once again as expected.

It is more that I just thought it ought to be documented.

Thank you for making a note of it! :D

..using ASEprite v1.3-beta21-x64 on Win10.

I work on a few very large canvases. Say, 4096 x4096. It'd be nice if undoing/redoing an action had the option to center on the change that was undone or redone, if said change is not visible in the current view of the canvas.

A bit like the already existing "Go to modified frame/layer" option.

Reported here: https://community.aseprite.org/t/zoom-grid-vs-checkered-background/16566

Create a new sprite with a checkered background and grid of 64x64, and then zoom out.

In some way the properties (reference point/anchor points, etc.) must be accessible externally so the .aseprite files can be loaded from a game engine.
