with the text tool, instead of selecting one "pixel" after another, you are supposed to draw a rectangle which will be the text area and have autowrap enabled inside it :)
The fact that, this is in a terminal is kinda sick. Just look at how many different characters it uses just to draw the left interface. Had to be a pain to get it setup properly lol
@@nootics But Krita is equally good for photo and image editing like Gimp. I do not agree that Krita is not being recognized as an image editor by your definition.
@@nooticsI use Krita and Gimp. Even though GIMP’s main focus is Image Manipulation, if I am being honest it is a bit too technical and kind of a time trap if you just want to do something quick. And if you want to use SVG, you have Inkscape. Krita is more general purpose then people give it credit for. Yes, I use it for art, but it can also be used for Pixel Art. And Animation. And Image Editing. I think you can also edit gifs and animated image formats in Krita too, but I know you can in Gimp albeit it is a bit more tedious. In short, yeah I think Krita can be your photoshop-lite and gimp fusion dance, but mostly because it is general purpose and pretty stable.
Been missing these kinds of videos from you, seems like it's been a while since it's been back to back news lately. You always manage to find projects that make me laugh but then marvel at how well done they are. I still think back to that crazy zooming Desktop Environment you reviewed like a year or 2 ago 😂

There's a certain amount of nostalgia seeing this. Reminds me of the first image editing programs I used back in the 80s on DOS with a whopping 16 colors.
Mate can you perhaps do another video on Wayland maturity? .. it just seems to have all these little issues like stuttering and misaligned screen layout on resume on laptop external monitors ( that many wouldn't even notice .. and that's the point .. so called minor issues can be hidden ) ... and just little things here and there and I really concerned it has been pushed way too early.
Wayland still has issues with remote access that makes it unusable, so when I was setting up one of my computers for remote access I had them auto-login to X11... holy shit I've taken wayland for granted. X11 is just so shoddy and shit in comparison it's really not even close. I switched to linux about a year ago now and was on wayland from day 1 and, even with an nvidia card, dual monitors, varying refresh rates, on an arch derivative, etc. it's been pretty bloody stable. (yes I did use an arch derivative from day 1, I ran a few manual arch installs in VMs, did research beforehand, etc. Jumping in the deep end is just how I do most things for better or worse.) I genuinely do not understand how people unironically say X11 is more stable or well rounded compared to wayland. It's lacking in some areas yes (again, the reason I had to use x11 at all was because remote access doesn't work worth shit) but it's still a night and day difference in usability. I'll take slightly misaligned screen layouts when resuming a laptop session with an external display arrangement compared to basic functions of the DE just not behaving properly anyday. (and that's not even factoring in the better shortcuts, input support, etc. which frankly I don't even know how the display server should affect at all but for one reason or another it does. Maybe that's just a KDE thing, but I doubt it)
@@robonator2945 Yeah it could be some part GNOME but Wayland also seems to load up the CPU incrementally and intensive programs like Blender begin to run in slow motion.

Had a cursor and all. Using strings as bytebuffers for the pixel data and framebuffers, as the associated arrays were too dang slow. I dropped that project because PHP doing funky stuff with arrays inside arrays made my mind go poof. 😅 If someone else is interested, here are some hints: - Set the tty settings, disable echo, clear screen, etc. Otherwise you will get artifacts from the console interfering with the framebuffer. - Do NOT forget to restore the tty on exit/crash! (including control-c if you can) - Read input from /dev input devices like the keyboard and mouse. Mouse is easy to decode if you know how. - For the keyboard input the stdin might be easier though. - Write the screen output to the /dev/fb0 framebuffer. - User needs to be in the video and/or input groups.

@@BrodieRobertson exactly, and that's why the lasso selection shows a rectangle after making your selection. Paint really behaved in the same way, so this oddity is actually intended.

Greatest Image Editor on Linux? Maybe if you are a 3-year-old! Hahaha. Speaking of which, my kid when she was that age did amazing things with Deluxe Paint (Amiga). It would be über cool to see that implemented as a console editor!!!
It's useful for drawing ASCII art. You can just cat out the ascii file to get literally images on your terminal. It's useful if you want to do any kind of branding in a python script , for example
Is it too much to ask that paint-clones in this day and age should have an alpha channel available? How hard could it be! I'm not asking for the Earth and sky here! I'm not asking for adjustment layers, layers, masking, paths, selection tools, clone tools, opacity controls, jitter, smart objects, none of that crap. All I want is a paint-clone with an alpha channel. Hell... you've been able to save as png in paint for decades... but it never occurred to anyone to have the option for an alpha channel (or at least an alpha brush or an option for eraser to apply alpha pixels). It's crazy how that isn't standard in this day and age.
I'll tell you what: this is a programmer's equivalent of a perv trying to blow himself. He got so caught up in the goal, he fails to see that its pointless. He should put all the talent into making a Xorg or Wayland Paint (because gimp sucks). Krita might be the best for full time linux guys that need to edit graphics/rasters. But I guess he has to get those cool points somehow. LOL
I don't know how you can seriously assert that the ability to blow oneself is "pointless"! And lots of useful ideas get started because someone saw a pointless implementation of whatever tech and decided they could use that for something valuable.
I wonder if it would work on my televideo 950... That's a terminal of the generation that needed one character position to change attributes of the next character. Would be so nice to not have thrown it away, but then again, a televideo 950 would suck more power than my pve cluster, seriously. I also wondered what kind of art we could do with terminals, as the newer generations allowed to download soft fonts. And that's like having full monochrome graphics as long as you don't exceed the number of downloadable characters in your graphics.
I am so used to Photoshop, that I would either pirate it or rent it from a cheap country per month. Decided to go for the latter (it was about 90€ for a year from Turkey) and I am currently satisfied. For drawing / painting I do prefer Krita.
This program is so cute. My only beef with it is that it isn’t 16/256 colors, so no fun with dithering to be had unless you can use an 8-bit palette on demand.
You should have tried zooming out your terminal to some unreasonable dimensions - like ≥720×1280. I'm pretty sure that's why the magnifier tool is there
Really fun and creative idea to do this. People create amazing stuff in the terminal these days! Just proving how much you can do with it. Really cool.
I appreciate their dedication to making the menus and interface nearly identical to the Microsoft original. The main thing lacking is the secondary color selection.
You can set the secondary color with Ctrl+click, or (as of 0.2.0) right click. Note that the secondary color selection is only visible if you set the selected character to something other than a space, the current default, which you can do by clicking on the selected color area and typing a letter. (You can draw using the selected character, with any of the drawing tools.) You can also (as of 0.2.0) swap the primary and secondary colors with Ctrl+click or right click on the selected color area.
It works awkwardly, as you might guess. If you load up an image and rotate it, it'll be distorted one way and then the other, making the rotation effect not very "convincing", in appearance, but it will still be saved un-distorted. Since there are is no actual standard aspect ratio that all terminals use, I decided to make it do the naive thing, and embrace it as part of the terminal aesthetic.
It outputs a layer of rectangles to define the cell background colors, and a layer of text elements for the cell text. This feature is actually built into the Textual framework I used to make the app, as is the HTML export. The SVG output tends to look a bit better than the HTML, or is at least more consistent in how its rendered across applications, since it has better control over the grid, whereas the HTML export relies on the browser's line spacing. I also made Textual Paint embed extra data in the SVG, so that it can read back the image perfectly, and may do the same for HTML in the future.
Doubling the cells horizontally is generally a pretty good approximation. However, there is no actual standard aspect ratio that all terminals use. Also, it doesn't make sense to double the cells when editing ANSI art so it would have to be a mode, complicating the design and code of the app somewhat. So I decided to embrace it as part of the terminal aesthetic. If it's part of the retro feel, it's a feature, not a bug! 😅
Sadly it is bloat for a graphical terminal application. It uses 50 to 70 MiB on my system. On top of that it doesn't work that well on a tty, for example there is garbled text and icons don't show (and I can't draw in tty but I also can't interact with ncurses applications since I forget to fix that on Arch so maybe that is just on my system. Tho clicking within links' graphical mode works!)
@@RomvnlyPlays It is a terminal application that doesn't do much. There are several working (but limited especially regarding JS) web browsers for the terminal or X that take less RAM. Also all the components of the WM I'm running take less RAM than this application. And the live wallpaper I use that has thousands of moving polygons per second uses only a third of the RAM of that application. I have a powerful machine but I rather want to spend resources on actual useful stuff (or stuff that brings me joy).
@@RomvnlyPlays The application it is cloning, as well as the entire OS it shipped with, can be installed and use less than that much disk space. RAM usage, again OS+Application, is perhaps one tenth of that.
