My apologies as I don’t even know what to call this. If I am mistaken, you may remove or move this.
Previously I wrote a topic called something like “Should I be concerned about the future of Lunacy?” It was an honest and thoughtful reaching out to the Lunacy team. I’ve been extremely busy and finally remembered and had time to reply. I can’t seem to find the post I made and could not seem to log in anymore. Was the topic and account removed?
To reply to the best of my remembrance, moving an element to a folder does not let you drag it into a folder. Only if you have the folder open will if nest inside. I couldn’t get it dragged into the folder. It snaps to the top or bottom and moves the folder position. This seems like something reasonable and intuitive to expect.
As for UI issues I was frustrated with, its things like the text on path tool. It finicky and one of the reasons is it creates an invisible vertical text box. You can’t find this box easily because its separate from the path. In order to adjust text or its position requires moving in the vertical box and it doesn’t do what you expect.
I was expecting it to work like Adobe’s integration where the cursor follows the path, you can click between characters and start editing text. I was hoping for anchor points at the end of the path to adjust the starting and ending point text would adjust to on it.
When I scale that path by holding Alt Shift Ctrl or whatever it was, I was expecting that these commands to transform the selected elements that the text size would scale with the resizing like the path would be.
In this instance I’ve been putting text on a circle. I’ve been spoiled by Adobes simple and intuitive implementation which also easily allowed for the text to be inverted on the path.
Its been a while since I’ve used Lunacy so I can’t remember all my frustrations. I didn’t feel like my concerns were addressed and perhaps I hit a nerve. Regardless, despite your AI team being separate from your main team, I was still perplexed at the pace that the project can see significant forward momentum.
Am I out of line to feel like since I started using it about one year ago, it seems like only one or two updates have released according to the release notes? I wondered how could the team possibly handle the backlog of requests on this forum of all these fringe requests? Are they being covertly added and I’m not aware?
In the event I was “removed” because I could not reply immediately, that is disappointing on several levels as I had no intention of malice.
I would like to try to work with you but I also feel like a burden being just another user needing niche features.
Best regards.
