    Adding brush width to dialogue

    Dear MItaly

    The lastest version of IrfanPaint with text insertion is a work of genius. How you have so many options in such a small place amazes me. Love the preview button. I do have a possible suggestion which may (or may not) be worth while. In the INSERT TEXT > PEN AND BRUSH SETTINGS you can change the foreground and background colours and these changes are reflected back in the main PAINT TOOLBAR. If would be useful to have a brush width (px) setting in the same dialogue and this would also change the main PAINT TOOLBAR value. This would save having to close the INSERT TEXT dialogue, change the width (px) on the MAIN TOOLBAR and then reopening the INSERT TEXT dialogue, if you had the wrong intial brush width (for EMPTY PATH and FILLED PATH).
    Apologies if I have misunderstood
    Many thanks, Al

      IrfanPaint Toolbar Design

      I think the two new tools need to be inserted on the same row to avoid breaking the current logical grouping of tools with lines and arrows on the same row, and ellpse and rectangle on the same row.

      Either the second or third toolbar, rather than the first in the attachment.

        I like the third one, but with the text and color replacer buttons inverted.

        Good idea, thank you.

          Maybe, but then do you need to add the foreground/background colour palette too? If it is not difficult, go for it.

            It's already there. Just click on the rectangle near the "Color" label.

              I download the latest plugin and definitely have build 56, but I don't see either the pen weight, nor the foreground/background colour palette on the Text Edit Dialogue. To access them, you have to close the text edit dialogue.

                If you set the rendering mode to empty/filled path a click on the "text color" button shows the Pen & Brush settings dialog. There you can set the fg/bg color and (in the next version) also the pen width.

                  This is good design. It avoids cluttering the Text dialogue with extra buttons, as the outline/fill are not relevant for Text or Antialiased Text.

                  Do you think it would be a further improvement to open the background tab for Filled Path and the foreground tab only for Empty Path?

                    It's a nice idea; I'm also going to change the icon of that button depending on the action that it performs (if the rendering is text/antialiased text it will use the current icon, otherwise the normal P&B settings icon).

                      The text colour icon could be a bit brighter.

                      Here's a couple of ideas for you.

                            It's getting so cool, it needs its own Help file.
                            Its: Belongs to "It"
                            It's: Shortened form of "It is"
                            ---------------------
                            Lose: Fail to keep
                            Loose: Not tight

                            ---------------------

                              Indeed it's getting closer and closer to this point.
                              It's already gone far beyond the status of some DLL to handle some file-format.

                                Maybe not a separated help file, but I think that an exhaustive section in the IV help file is really needed. I don't have the time to write also the documentation, is there anybody who could do it (maybe starting from the good work already done by Bhikkhu Pesala - if he agrees)?
