It's fine now for annotations, but could be a bit better in a few specific ways:ġa) Maybe it should not just operate on the active layer only - We already have the protection toggles for isolating strokes, so it may be a good idea to let it operate on more.

These particular things were:ġ) Eraser needs a few tweaks to make it more suitable for making art. It's surprising how although some are things I've known about (and have been planning on fixing), others were things that AFAIK are the first time I've heard or come across the problem. In today's little project, a few little things did stand out to me as being in need of some urgent attention. (I'm hoping/tempted to try and just merge it into master, and then work on fixing any issues that crop up later. Hang on for a bit longer to see what this is about :)Ģ) The changes to make Stroke Placement a toolsetting vs a per-datablock setting - needed to improve the workflow for using that, which was a bit clunkyģ) Some tweaks to the Onion Skinning toggle on the header to make it disable onionskinning on all layers when toggled, making it easier to use for quickly turning onionskinning on/offĤ) The new filtering options in Grease Pencil mode in the DopeSheet, including name-based filtering, and filtering only those GP datablocks used in the current sceneĪs usual, all these can be found in the GPencil_Editing_Stage3 branch.

Notably examples were:ġ) The new 'Additive Drawing' option - I intend to make a short demo vid explaining this feature shortly. From personal experience, I can attest to how 'dog fooding' (as it's often called in the software industry) is one of the best/most efficient ways for developers to pick up problems and/or workflow bottlenecks in their work!Ī collection of fixes I did over the weekend are good examples of this. As always, it was a great exercise for checking on the state of things.
