Hello,

too lazy to dig into the 72 pages!
there is an example somewhere to wrap a label / numbers around a knob ?
i need to design something like the big knob on a Synthi.

cheers,
Eric

First of all, awesome program! Thanks for sharing.

But as it looks it will only do 31 steps..

I want to rotate an image from -150 deg to +150 deg during 64 steps. Is it possible to do right now or can you implement the option in the future?

I can enter 64 in the steps textbox/dropdown/slider but it will only produce 31 steps.

KnobMan can do up to 200 steps. Go to "Preference" (just above the layers list) and change the number of frames.

Awesome! Thanks a lot. I was checking all menus and visible settings but totally missed the preference option and the fact is was clickable :p

Works perfect!

- Type the letters of the text with kommas , between each
- set rotate from -xx to +xx
- set offset x (or y) from -xx to +xx
- click "Unfold", set "Step" to number of letters

Too lazy to check for myself,sorry about that: is it safe to assume the height is always an even multiple of width ?

If you mean the resulting image strip: no.

I was thinking of an automated way of finding out the number of frames in the resulting image.

Bummer. No biggie but it would have been nice for me to automate the process.

That's not possible because in Knobman you can set the X and Y size of the picture independend, and the number of frames can be 3, 4, 5 ... so this wont work.

is this still where feature requests go? The thought just struck me that i'd like to be able to "quicklock" a function to the middle mouse button when i'm doing things in the tree. So for example, if i want the middle mouse button to "Quicklock" - "Duplicate layer" function from the context menu, i would press "CTRL" and Left-Click on the Context menu entry, and it would then ascribe that to "middle mouse button".

I hope this makes sense. Some functions would be useful, others not so much, but for example, i'd go through one pass of duplicating a particular mask i'd want to edit and reuse, maybe several times. I set quicklock to dupe, when thats done, i switch it to rename, and i can middle click on each one in the list and get the rename menu, instead of having to do twice the maneuvering. not that it would save heaps of time in the short term, but it would be a great feature to see in this and many other software projects.
