3/7/13: Updates to Website, Vector Paint Editor
Here are today's updates:
Website:
- View all remixes page for projects. (See “View All” link in the “Remixes” panel on the project page.)
- View all studios page for projects. (See “View All” link in the “Studios” panel on the project page.)
- URLs to pages on scratch in About Me / What I'm Doing / Instructions / Notes now turn into links for viewers.
- @username now turns into a link to that user's profile page in About Me / What I'm Doing / Instructions / Notes
- Logo now switches styles on hover like the SWF
- Add curators by name box now appears in addition to the explore bar when adding studio curators.
- Doubled the number of comments that load in each “page” of comments on project page
- Studios now have correct page titles.
- added studio pre-deletion confirmation dialog
- fixed long text cutoff on editable fields
- added editable fields scrollbar code for when the text is longer than the field.
Paint Editor:
Changes to the vector editor:
- Added a continuous color picker
- Added the ability to draw solid or hollow shapes
- Removed the eraser tool (Now you shift-click on a point in the reshape tool to cut a shape)
- Moved tools to the right side
- Zoom will now zoom in on the currently selected / reshaped object
- Replaced “paint bucket” icon with “paint-brush”, to differentiate behavior of color set tool in vector editor
- Ability to cut open paths by shift-clicking on path anchor points
+ lots of work to the bitmap editor, but we aren't ready to make it visible / enable it yet.
Project Editor (Bug fixes):
- Stage edge limiting code updated to use integers only, to fix problems with triggering.

The Scratch logo is in the top bar twice and the Messages, My Stuff, and Profile buttons are not in the top bar.

I don't like the idea of replacing the paint bucket with a paint brush. The fill bucket icon is well known throughout all applications. - Replaced “paint bucket” icon with “paint-brush”, to differentiate behavior of color set tool in vector editor

Why removed the erase tool? It is needed for cleaning around an imported image.
