Last Week’s Achievements

Latest Code Developments

26 November 2024

What an incredible week we had!  Over the past 7 days, we received nine pull requests that have significantly contributed to the ongoing development of the Seamly2D project. Each contribution plays a vital role in enhancing our software and improving the user experience. Here’s a breakdown of what we accomplished:

1. Fixed bounding boxes of exported SVG pattern pieces: We resolved an issue that was affecting the accuracy of exported SVG files. This means users can now expect precise representation of their pattern pieces.

2. Removed minimum point name font size when zooming: A bug fix that ensures point names remain legible regardless of the zoom level, greatly enhancing usability for those who work with intricate designs.

3. Added color attribute to point on curve tools: This new feature adds more flexibility and visual clarity for users, allowing them to customize and differentiate points with color, enhancing the design process.

4. Removed union tool retain pieces option: We streamlined this tool based on user feedback, making it simpler and more efficient to use, allowing designers to work faster.

5. Fixed XML tag order: An essential fix that ensures proper data structure and integrity when exporting and importing projects, promoting a smoother workflow.

6. Eliminated compiler warnings: Addressing compiler warnings not only cleans up our code but also ensures a more reliable and maintainable codebase.

7. Fixed grainline arrows: We resolved issues with grainline arrows that ensure they are displayed correctly, which is crucial for designers when laying out fabric.

8. Fixed draggable menu items in pattern pieces & preference dialogs: This fix enhances the interactivity of our user interface, improving user experience when navigating through tools and options.

9. Fixed position option in edit fx dialog: This ensures that users can accurately set positions in the edit dialog, further refining the design capabilities of our application.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate all the hard work and dedication that went into these contributions. 

Every detail counts, and your efforts really do make a difference!  

Keep this momentum going, and let’s aim to build upon these achievements in the coming weeks. 

Together, we are shaping Seamly2D into a powerful tool for everyone in the community! 

Cheers,
Your friends at What The Diff and Seamly
