The theme changing dialog in the Info panel is now buggy : when I  
switch to the default GNUstep theme, Pikopixel sets its own theme,  
instead of the default one. Which is sensible but a little tough.  
But the real problem is that if I want to change again to another  
theme, all my themes are listed with the same name "Pikostep" in the  
Info panel and I can't change to another. I can only "revert to  
default theme", which sets my Rik theme as it is the default one.


   Thanks for the bug report - I didn't know the Info panel allowed  
you to change themes, so I'll look into this.
(For anyone else who didn't know, the standard GNUstep app Info panel  
has a hidden button: If you click on the bottom line of the Info text  
("Current theme: ..."), it will display a theme-selection panel that  
lets you switch to a different installed theme).


   PikoPixel's custom theme is installed when the app starts, and  
only if you're using GNUstep's standard (built-in) theme. The custom  
theme currently doesn't support on-the-fly theme-switching while the  
app is running.


   If you want to change themes on-the-fly while PP runs, or if you  
prefer GNUstep's built-in theme, you can disable PP's custom theme by  
setting 'PPDisableGSThemeCustomizations' in PikoPixel's defaults:


defaults write PikoPixel PPDisableGSThemeCustomizations YES


Which is more annoying is an incompatibility with PikoPixel and the  
Rik. theme for me : it crashes at startup.


Since revision beta9a, Pikopixel segfaults on dry launch, right  
after that I push the OK button of the first dialog (creating an  
empty window). It doesn't occur when I open an image with it (using  
the context menu of GWorkspace).


   Thanks for this info. I can reproduce the crash, and it appears to  
be a bug in Rik.theme (I used the fork at https://github.com/BertrandDekoninck/rik.theme 
 ):


   Rik.theme replaces the implementation of -[NSWindow  
setDefaultButtonCell:] in order to set up an animation that pulses the  
window's default button. Rik.theme's animation controller retains the  
default button cell that was passed, and the animation will  
continuously call [[defaultbuttoncell controlview] setNeedsDisplay:  
YES] to update the button.


   However, the animation is never stopped, so it will continue  
sending setNeedsDisplay: messages even after the window is ordered  
out, up until the app exits (for every default button that's been  
displayed).


   If a window is unloaded (several of PikoPixel's sheets are  
released once they're dismissed, including its initial size sheet),  
the default button cell will stick around, since the animation  
controller retained it, but the cell will contain a pointer to a now- 
deallocated control view (NSActionCells don't retain their control  
views, presumably to prevent retain loops), and sending it a  
setNeedsDisplay: message will crash.


   To show this is the cause of the issue, you can prevent the  
control view from deallocating by retaining it as well - change  
rik.theme's NSWindow+Rik.m, line 35:


[[defaultbuttoncell controlview] setNeedsDisplay: YES];
->
[[[defaultbuttoncell controlview] retain] setNeedsDisplay:  
YES];


   (Note that this is just for demonstration, and not a fix, since it  
will leak the control view & run up its retain count. A fix would  
probably involve registering for NSWindowDidResignKey notifications  
and stopping animation when the notification was received).

Josh

I've launched it in GDB and got this backtrace :

There seems to be an incompatibility between the NSButton methods 
reimplemented in Rik and Pikopixel, right ?


Anyway, Pikpixel is still very impresssive and the new theme is very nice.

Re: ANN: New version of PikoPixel, pixel-art editor

[User]

Very cool Josh, congrats on the new release!

Arch users should keep in mind that due to a bug in the current release 
version of gnustep-back involving freetype2, Pikopixel will not work 
correctly on Arch because of this. I've messaged the maintainer of the 
gnustep-back package but it seems he hasn't fixed the issue yet.


In the meantime, you can add the following line to your gnustep-back 
PKGBUILD during reinstall and trick it into compiling correctly. Put it 
in the Build() block, right after the cd command.


|sed -i 's/type=no/type=yes/' configure|

||Hope that helps.

[1] If the window was resized to within a few pixels of the canvas  
dimensions, it could get caught in an infinite loop of showing &  
hiding the scrollers. This appears to be PikoPixel-specific rather  
than a GNUstep issue, due to some custom layout changes PP makes to  
scrollviews during a resize.


[2] Maximizing a document window would leave transparent gaps along  
the edges of the maximized window.

Thank you for working on this. I am not an artist by any stretch, but I still 
love playing with this program. 

I am reminded that I have testable packages for Debian that I ought to update 
for this version and submit.

   The current version of the AGPL is an excellent license - thank

I'll probably upgrade, but I'm reserving judgement on those versions

If I knew you always said "+" when appropriate, I would have understood,
but I don't know you so I didn't know that.

I suggest saying "-only" when it's only one version.

It sounds good -- but the licensing is not clearly stated.  Is it AGPL
version 3 only, or AGPL version 3 or later?



   PikoPixel is AGPL version 3 only.

   When abbreviating license names, I append '+' as shorthand for "or  
later" (e.g. AGPLv3+), and leave it off to mean "version only" (though  
that's ambiguous without context). Is there a suggested shorthand for  
"version only" on license-name abbreviations?


Cheers,

Thank you for sharing this.

I think this is exactly the kind of thing that we need to help bring the
platform forward. Specifically, beautiful purpose built, non-trivial
applications that run seamlessly on GNUstep and macOS.

If you're not intending to, do you mind if I open an ITP for this with
Debian? I would love to get it in there.

Cheers!

Hi,

looks so professional, thanks to the cool screenshot. It would be nice 
to also have a GS-based screenshot!


It also reminds me that I should try a new Boostrap-CSS for 
SoftwareIndex to be more similar to the site.

2017 maybe :)

It sounds good -- but the licensing is not clearly stated.  Is it AGPL
version 3 only, or AGPL version 3 or later?

congratulations! great work!

I tried compiling it on GNUstep with gcc and played a bit with it and 
seems to work fine. Actually I did try it on Debian/HURD :)
