Talk:Brainstorming/UI/BrushSelector

Suggested Brush selector popup (with tags)

 * So I guess you would have your brush+folders dialog at B, and the "Edit" panel below the current would become an own dialog that is not attached to the brushlist (but possibly to the brush settings).
 * Something I miss in this proposal is an escape route from the tag-mania, in the sense of "don't teach the users about tags until they ask for them". I expect MyPaint will ship with a few default brushfolders, most of them containing brushes that a single artist has published. But one of them should contain the default brushes to be displayed to new users at startup, with the folder list hidden. One great thing about the current brush selector is that the only non-brush item is the small "Edit" expander... maybe your dialog can have a "Brushsets" expander in this place, and have (several rows of) tags at the bottom?
 * And talking about popups. When I hold down B I think I would only want to see the brush list, no folders at all. Hitting B only shortly would bring up the full dialog (permanent with window decoration, but centered at the cursor position).

 * I think this is what I will try to implement:

 * It looks good to me, I like the tagging system for the brush list Deevad13:56, Monday, October 05 (UTC).

maybe there is another way too. consider a kind of log file, or a counter, ( I don't really know how to call it ) which will count the most used brush ( by time which is used one brush, by numbers of accessing ) and list the most used ones first, so you will have an automatic sorting of brushes :)


 * - Not bad. It might also be useful for MyPaint to decrease the number of uses for every brush by "1" every hour or so, which should prevent old brushes, etc., from getting stuck at the top of the list. --DementedSnake 01:43, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

- yep...actually I thought about this idea for GIMP menus(I want to get involved in developement there, but I don't know how to start ) because it's awkward to get that fixed interface, when I use just some of the plugins/options most of the time ( some of them just doesn't help me ) BTW -- shouldn't we discuss this on discussion page? I'm not accustomed with wiki rules :)
 * - You're right. It's easy to forget. I moved it. --DementedSnake 18:36, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
