An excellent update with significant improvements. I am a happy camper.

First observations:
  • Way snappier response times (highly, highly enjoyable)
  • Labels work
  • Distance measurement works
  • Travel route, works (had one crash when tweaking Bezier curves on a world-spanning route, cannot replicate)
  • Railroads now save to OWM file
  • No screen flips witnessed anymore
  • No spinning wheel on Feature tool
  • Pinch zoom works
  • Command-Z works
  • All this with BetterTouch Tool turned on
  • Manually entering a number in zoom % not yet accepted
Current main wish is a better response of mouse positioning over items at different zoom levels. It feels that the further out you zoom the more sensitive placement becomes. It feels like the strike zone for an item should be bigger. This is especially noticeable when editing points on long routes or drawing long boundaries.

Will investigate. We've had ongoing issues on Windows too for this that I think are all fixed.

OK, a few more bugs I found and one pet peeve:
Features-AlongPath-FillPath.png
Features-AlongPath-FillPath.png (202.12 KiB) Viewed 13492 times
Bugs:
  • Feature tool droppings on canvas
  • Long Path and Fill Path feature tools do not honor transparency of the feature
  • Canvas texture setting is not restored in display after opening file, the file does keep the value and the dialog shows it properly, the display simple goes to solid color only
  • Maybe not a bug, or related to the above, but any travel path that starts out on a landmass, but crosses the canvas to get to another part of the same landmass does not display the sections that cross the canvas.
  • Feature lists are still not sorted
Peeve:
Why is it that with every object I create it is deselected just after I created it. I create it, go and tweak some settings, only to find out that those tweaks will only apply on the next one I draw. Aaarghh. I would love to have what I just created be the thing that is currently selected. In my brain that makes total sense.

Not sure what you mean?

This is a known issue that we are working to resolve. It's the rasterizer we use in OSX doing it.

Yes, it's by design objects get clipped outside the landmass they belong to. What you can do is copy/paste the travel path outside the landmass and it will overlap it. We'll look into this though, seens it seems for travel paths we shouldn't clip them.

This is odd. I don't seem to have that problem in our test systems.

Around 15% percent of our users agree with you and the rest disagree :D. We probably should have is as a possible setting to auto select last item. Question: Would you want that just for drawn items? Seems having that for features would be annoying rather than helpful? Let us know and we'll try to add it.

Thank you again!!

If you place a feature on a landmass so that the landmass is the parent and let the Feature peek over the landmass on top of the canvas, deleting the feature leaves dropping on the canvas.

What I currently do is start the travel route on the canvas and then go from there, but that feels like a workaround. I like your idea. Maybe make it a setting in the options of the travel route item. [x] Display route on parent only

Of course, I would land in the 15% :) I would love a Preferences setting for that. Although I put the distinction between items that get drawn with multiple steps before I can see the effect or a single click. E.g. stamping a single feature down? Sure, I can see that having it selected would be come annoying when building a mountain range by hand. But if I was to use the Feature|Along Path tool, I would want it to be selected after I am done. This way I can adjust its points or fill path options, now that I can see what the effect is of my original selections.

Ok, I'm super happy we have you, aotte. I'm super bad at catching bugs, it seems, and I also haven't had much time to play around with OWM recently.

Happy to help stefanstr.

If we don't tell the Three Minds, they cannot fix it. Unless they go digging deeper themselves, which our Unix compadres will not appreciate. ;)

Loving it so far.

A few OSX issues:

Undo Crashes!
The second you press undo or use the shortcut key, the software crashes immediately.

Doesn't Save Water Background
When I reload a map, it forgets the colour of the background, so I always have to reset the water's colour/texture

Colligate is... Weird
I assume this isn't the intended behaviour. if I choose to colligate several features together (so I don't have loads of mountains or trees on my features lists), it becomes incredibly blocky, filled with white boxes :s Is this a bug or am I using the wrong function to combine many map features into a single object?

Zoom
If I use the scroll bars on the edge and drag anywhere, it immediately autozooms back to the top of the screen.

That's really odd. Is that with any map, even a simple one with just one or two items? Undo/redo causes a crash in the demo, but it should be working for the full version.

It's a known issue. Something odd with the raster library in OSX. We're working to fix.
