Hi!
It is perfectly possible to pull from your repository and merge it to
master. Even it is prefereible for changes with the entity you're doing.
Patches are for things like a single commit with modifications on a few
files and about one matter only. If for some reason your code has to be
debugged it is better always to have its different commits to make a
bisection search.
Please give some time to get back to Synfig coding. I've just finished my
vacations and now that I come back to day by day routine, my free time is
very unfrequent. I'll try to make a pull and local merge to see if there are
any problem. Then I'll create one branch for your work and sent it to synfig
repo. Later, once I start the release procedure I'll start to merge all the
branches and do the testing.
Once again, thank you very much for your contribution!.
I would like to tell you more things that I'm thinking now.
As you already know, nikitakit has been working on several aspects of the
GUI. He has done some good jobs on the ducks area tools and and the gui
render. I'm working confortably on the area of synfig core, although there
are some things that I know that I don't have enough knowledge to work on
(multithreading specially) but I feel strong to continue polishing the
synfig core and even try to implement new importers, sound libraries or
similar.
Synfig Studio there are two main areas: synfigapp and gui. Synfigapp is made
by everything that is Synfig Studio related but that doesn't have a
particular interface imlplementation. Gui is the current gtkmm
implementation of the visible part of synfigapp
I've touched and half understand the structure of the gui and I've worked
with actions (synfigapp) a lot and I think understand (mostly) synfigapp.
The user experience is mainly done by the gui. You will agree with me that
it is totally needed a gui reestructure to increase user satisfaction and
increase user productivity. See post at forum:
http://synfig.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2983
So my idea is that you lead the gui re-estructutation with the help of
nikitakit and me. Of course it will be at your rate and only if you agree.
But I think that the gui changes can be made step by step (little changes)
when possible and then if a great change is needed then we would work all
together.
To do the gui re-estructure work I propose to start with a brainstorm of
ideas grouped by every aspect of the gui:
Mouse interaction
Menus
Keyboad shortcuts
Tools & tools options.
Layers/parameters
Timetrack/waypoints/keyframes
Single window, multiple documents
Once collected there should be a filter session and one agreement on the
master lines to achieve.
Then compare with the current behavior and start a todo list.
What do you think?
Greetings
