Speaking as a noob but longtime hypercarder and now a new-minted Indy
contributor I have a couple of thoughts:
I haven't come across a web-based page where all of us can interact to
propose/respond to new feature ideas. A description and priority
assignment for said feature(s), which can then be affirmed/rated by
others, would be a good lead-in to the existing New Feature Exchange.
This would provide a forum for specifying and ranking features, which
could then be promoted to the Exchange as appropriate. I've seen great
ideas on this group but no avenues to see anyone As examples:
We've been discussing this internally and have some ideas for a
discussion type board with voting and such. We're still working on the
details of such a thing :)
1. Feature: semi-transparent graphic creation, with graduated opacity,
to allow masking/mixing of graphic elements.
Well, you can do this to a certain degree. The graphic object can be
used to make vector objects consisting of multiple sub-paths; and then
you can make semi transparent graduate opacity by setting a gradient
fill. You can then do masking by using appropriate inks (blend modes) -
not the easiest thing to do, admittedly, but it is at least possible at
the moment.
2. Upgrade: the icon/graphic libraries in LC are embarrassing. Not
being a graphic artist I find having such elements available go a long
way toward interface presentability. We need LC to include reasonable
(not amateurish) icon/graphic libraries, as well as convenient ways to
add to them (perhaps through 3rd party) and less convoluted ways for
used graphics to include with builds.
Yes - I can't disagree here - our icon library is old and could do with
some love!
3. Startup prebuilds which I can select from main menu New Stack
options which set screen presets (size/color, etc) depending on my
intended destination build (iOS, etc).
This is something we've added in LC8 - the 'New Stack' menu now has
options with the common device sizes which you might want to create.
Any of this reasonable or am I too new and not seeing what is already
out there?
All reasonable, and indeed some already available / on its way. Always
good to suggest / ask :)
