As a developer of these apps, you owe me nothing, no need to treat every explanation as a demand. I just chose an app that has basic features like selection coords from the get go and shared my experience on a forum where it might be useful to others. How exactly people are using these coords -- for automation, or pixel arts, or precise composition/aspect ratio, or something else -- isn't relevant, same for other commonly present features.
To be honest, I still reference my paper copy of the Windows 1995 Interface Guidelines from time to time, when people propose new features for Krita. They are not always useful, but at least they don't change all the time.
Oh, noes... A post that has this in the second paragraph:
"I'll hope you, dear reader, will forgive me for making this a really personal post; a very large part of my life has been tied up with Krita, and it's going to show."
ended up in something "jmix" thought was "self-indulgent".
Well, as Halla, the Krita maintainer, I kind agree. Image manipulation is not a goal. But for animation, we have a very specific goal. What we want to see is someone doing a looney Tunes like hand-drawn animation in Krita. And I've seen some, so mission accomplished!
I, as the Krita maintainer, hereby give everyone the right to verb the trademarked name "krita". Whether it's I "krittered that concept" or "I kritaed that sketch" -- it's fine!
The only thing you cannot do with the trademarked name krita is publish rip-off, spyware-laden versions in places like eBay.
Side note: Thank you for your work! My non-technical partner was able to create and print postcards that had to be in CMYK format, thanks to Krita. You made her very happy :-)
I think my blog is also a pretty good place, albeit probably uninteresting to most if not all people. But it's my place, and nobody else influences me.
