Finally, ChocoFlop has reached the place all good software reaches!

For those who don’t know this serial is available for free on this very site

I have started doing something I hadn’t done in quite a long time. Trying to actually do something useful in ChocoFlop rather than just playing around with it. I am trying, mostly as an exercise to come up with a new design for the website. And I am decided to only use ChocoFlop to do it. That’s quite an adventure. I am coming up with so many annoying things per minute, it’s hard to keep up the motivation. But the positive thing is I’ll be fixing these soon since it’s the only way I can work on my design.

Top annoyance so far: pressing the arrows when you have a selection should move the selection.. but no, it cuts from your selected layer and moves it by one pixel And I don’t mention all the crashes when playing on a document with many layers. The Hue filter seems to be pretty crashy.. maybe because it’s a fast one and changes happen rapidly. I really need to revise my threading strategy.. I mean if you could call that a strategy.

I hereby promise no to update the website design until I have been able to entirely design it using CF.

Here we are again with a Sunday afternoon’s piece of work. It might have a satanic version number but it brings some good things

- Draggable selections ! Yes finally, just move the tool inside some selection to drag it around.
- Complete Growl replacement. The program will never bug you about it. If you have it, it uses it, otherwise ChocoFlop now has its own messaging window.
- No more CPU usage when idle. The quartzcomp about box was rendering in the background all this time.. oops
- Fixed offset/scale problems when dragging from inside a selection with the move tool (it cut the wrong area).
- Cursors can now be different depending on the pixel they’re over (eg. you see that you can drag selections).
- Using the undocumented CIImageAccumulator’s commitUpdates rather than my own forceRender.
- Coming back from full screen works again (you got a white window in the previous release).

Update, enjoy, and optionally accept Satan as your personal savior by using software with a version number that says 0.66!
