It is looking really great, I cannot make the program do anything bad anymore! I am going to test everything one more time from scratch (toss everything and start from an empty window) and if I cannot make the program misbehave even then, I am uploading the beta 1 tomorrow. I will create a new thread for it.

Well it is not happening today, but the reason is not new bugs but exceptionally good weather :-) Not that I like sitting out in the sun, in stead I jogged myself nearly to death and am now too exhausted to do any final testing :-)

edit:

well I may be too tired for testing, but I am never too tired for development. I am still not happy with the way you could select icons to paint, it is still to cumbersome. Either:

- Open / go to icon browser, click icon to paint, go to main window and start painting

or:

- add icons you use a lot to the favorites panel, select icon in the favorites panel and start painting

or:

- use the eyedropper mode to select an icon to paint in the edit area

that step, selecting an icon (meaning move the mouse and click it) to paint, is what makes it irritating because you are at the least unnecessarily moving the mouse too much, but you may even have to go to a different window first and then back. If you want to rapidly paint several different icons it is a major bother even. The eyedropper selection is a good solution but it is not always available. So I did one really simple change: with the scrollwheel you can now quickly cycle through your favorite icons. Selecting icons can now be done with the mouse without having to move or click it, which is a major, major, major improvement. What you lose? scrolling up and down in the edit area with the mousewheel, big deal!
