Comment on Pixen: Where am I? by Colin

Stumbled upon this post by accident and am very excited. Pixel was my favourite app back in the 10.4 days and I just started using it again only to find bugs and stability issues have gotten in the way of using it much.

Full support on re-writting. This is a fantastic app that fills a great niche. There is nothing else to replace it. I’m no developer but anything I’d be happy to do some testing etc.

Wow, good for you!

Ian, Joe, and I were just talking about how sorry we were that the community Pixen didn’t go anywhere, but we must have missed your fork. To be frank, we’re not surprised: the code is both complex and terrible. It suffered from being a 10.1-era project (so tons of it is just totally unnecessary) and from being our first major project.

I sort of want to throw it all out and start over, but I know that’s never gonna happen. I know Ian had some pretty sexy backend code going for a new tile-based CG model + renderer. I’ll ask him if he’ll post it on Github or something in case anyone decides to do something fancy.

Keep it going, dude. The Mac still need a decent pixel editor.

Great to hear – I’ve looked at it a couple of times myself. After modernization and cleanup, where do you plan to take Pixen?

Cheers,

Stu

Hi Jon,

I am glad to hear about your parenthood
Pixen is a great piece of software and I use it rather frequently.

Good luck with your efforts.

Hi, don’t mean to intrude but wasn’t sure how to contact you. I think you left a post about using Bernina in parallel on a Mac. Did you ever get any help with it? I’m asking because I am a Mom with the same question. I got a new mac and I got parallel. I’m still learning how to use the mac! Sure would like to do it all here vs using a pc too. Thanks JoAnne
