Acorn 7 - some Feature Requests

[murphy]

Hey,

i have some ideas for new features… First thanks for the new color picker… And there is the first feature…

1. Add a permanent color picker to the bottom right of Acorn Example Mockup. It may extent to top when hovering over the color picker and show the rest of it.
2. When opening a file or new image make the window using the full desktop and not a portion of it.
3. When using the Tabbed Interface which i like, please check for CMD+~ to change the tabs in order from left to right. Would be much faster and uses an established hotkey.
4. Is there any option to set the default extension from JPEG to JPG? If not, i would like to see it. Acorn 6 does this on my computer.

I may have some more ideas, but that’s it currently.

Anyhow i would like to see some positive feedback.

Cheers,
Torsten

PS: I bought my first version of Acorn in December 2010

• Add a permanent color picker to the bottom right of Acorn Example Mockup . It may extent to top when hovering over the color picker and show the rest of it.

That’s an interesting idea, we’ll consider it.

@murphy

• When opening a file or new image make the window using the full desktop and not a portion of it.

You’re wanting something that’s sort of like full screen, but not quite?

@murphy

• When using the Tabbed Interface which i like, please check for CMD+~ to change the tabs in order from left to right. Would be much faster and uses an established hotkey.

The standard for moving between tabs in MacOS is Control-TAB (and Control-Shift-Tab). Command-~ is for switching between windows.

There is! Under the Fussy Stuff section of Acorn’s preferences, you can find an option for this.

Hey,

sorry for the late late answer over a year later.

1. If you considers the color picker, when would it be implemented? I think it would be much helping Acorn in the usability.
2. Yes, i want to open pictures with full window, but not in Apples “fullscreen”, so that i have windows that use all the space.
3. Thanks for the information.
4. And thanks for that too

Cheers,
Torsten

PS: I just updated to Acorn 7 and Retrobatch Pro. Thanks for the sale!

I don’t know.

There’s a pref in 7.2 under the “Fussy Stuff” section called “Open windows at max window size” which might be what you’re after here.

Thanks for the answer The fuzzy stuff ist really nice and that’s the one i wished to have it.

For the color picker. Ok, i just hope to continue to see that feature in the future. Acorn is just really good.
