Comic Life Magiq 1.0.2.1 update released
A free update for Comic Life Magiq is available for all users.

Identical to 1.0.2c in all but version number, which has been changed to ensure 1.0.2 users are made aware of the 1.0.2c update via the menu: Comic Life Magiq > Check for Updates...

This 1.0.2.1 update is recommended for all 1.0.2 users and fixes a serious saving issue introduced in 1.0.2 that caused images to be left out of the document.

If you're already running 1.0.2c (v10939) you can "Skip This Version".

Head to the plasq downloads page to get the 1.0.2.1 update or update from within Comic Life Magiq.

Feature request: tiled background images - 2005/04/21 21:45 I'm a bit hesitant to ask for more 'stuff' because you guys seem so eager to 'pile it on' ... I'd rather see the app be stable than jammed with features!

But hey, no harm to ask .... ??

I'd like to have the option to drag an image to a page directly (not in a panel) and have it 'tile' to become the background of the entire page. This can sort of be done manually with a hand-made large image in a panel that covers the sheet, but it would be nice to have a drag 'n drop way to do it with a small 'tile' ...

I kind of thought this might already be in there when I saw the checkbox marked 'backdrop' on the Page Attributes tab panel, but I can't for the life of me figure out what that actually does. It seems to be associated with page numbering, but nothing I do with it seems to have any effect, nor can I find anything in the manual. Care to drop a hint?

Re:Feature request: tiled background images - 2005/04/21 22:28 Hi Dave,

Yeah currently there's no easy way to fill the background with a tiled image (sounds like you're looking for a texture-effect of some kind?

There's a bug with the page number backdrop that's been fixed in 1.0.1. (Part of that stabilization effort ).

We'll add your request to the to-do list.

Thanks,

Robert.

Yes, exactly ...

There's a bug with the page number backdrop

Ah, I had thought maybe I was getting old; just couldn't figure it out!

But honestly, the layout of the controls in that section is not exactly intuitive, you know ... Maybe it'll make more sense when it's working!

Re:Feature request: tiled background images - 2005/04/22 00:21 Hi Dave,

Yeah - it's tough to figure out how something should work when it's broken.

I agree that the page backdrop controls might be a bit confusing. It seemed like an efficient way to provide a powerful backdrop feature for *power* users...

We'll see how it goes once it can actually be used!

Robert.

Re:Feature request: tiled background images - 2005/04/22 00:50 What about you post the CL to-do list online (maybe just for registered members only). Then we can all see where Comic Life is going and make further suggestions/recommendations/opinions, making your life more complicated and busier!
