Define and document a process to generate a MacOS installer, that will be made available with every release.

Hopefully something as easy as the process to generate the debian installer with cargo-deb.

Add an option to the canvas menu called "fit to drawing" that resizes the canvas to the size of the area that has pixels with alpha > 0, if necessary moving the area to the origin.

Palettes can currently be saved and loaded via PNG files, but we should be able to save palette specific files, and load from those files.

A tool that allows rotating the selected image. Initially we could do with only 90-degree rotations.

The current tool icons provide a quick way to see what tool you are using, but sometimes they may not be precise enough when it comes to seeing which pixel you are on. A crosshair cursor would be ideal for this (similar to the one used for the move tool).

For now, we need to decide when should this cursor be used:

• for all tools
• for some tools such as brush
• activated/toggled with some keyboard shortcut or UI button

As we don't have yet configurability for shortcuts, we should decide how this can be used for the moment.

When activated, this mode shows 8 replicas of the canvas on all sides, so that we can easily see how the drawing would look as a tile.

Currently we can only export the image at 100% scale. That's usually too small to be seen without zoom. We should offer the option to scale the image by any factor.

At this point, all errors are panicking. We need to eliminate every unwrap, expect and panic, and do proper error handling.

The member crates are licensed under MIT according to their manifest, but it's good practice to also add a LICENSE file to the top-level of the repo, along with a notice in the README file.

Furthermore, I would recommend to license under MIT/Apache-2.0 (instead of just MIT) for compatibility with the wider Rust ecosystem.

Under the transform menu (should probably be renamed to effects or something else), we should have options to change brightness, contrast, hue, saturation and value (HSV and HSB color models).

Tool for drawing ovals and circles. UX should be the same as for rectangle (drag mouse, shape will fill the rectangular area defined by the mouse move, with preview).

Define and document a process to generate a Windows installer, that will be made available with every release.

Hopefully something as easy as the process to generate the debian installer with cargo-deb.

As tarsila panics on errors, an autosave could be great to avoid losing progress.

Should autosave...

• Overwrite the existing .tarsila OR write to a .tmp/.backup file to recover later in case of a panic?
• Save on a time interval OR based on user events?

Tarsila should offer a set of default palettes other than the initial one that the user can easily choose.

In the repo settings, it's possible to enable a discussions feature to give a lightweight forum to have discussions about the project.

It would allow users to ask questions and the like without spamming the issue tracker.

Add a "fit to selection" option to the canvas menu that resizes the canvas to fit exactly the selected area (moving the selection to the origin).

File dialog window does not open on MacOS. Program does not crash but dumps error information. I opened an issue on the rfd crate with more details: PolyMeilex/rfd#109

We need to add some configuration options to tools. One of them is for bucket, the option of replacing all pixels in the canvas that have a color with another.

OS: Windows 11

Exporting to JPEG artifacts the image (doing what JPEG does best). However, in the case of pixel art, I don't believe the compression should be this bad. Since there's no option for setting compression level, JPEG doesn't seem viable for smaller images at the moment. It might be good to set compression to the lowest it can go and revisit whenever there's a dedicated menu for tweaking export settings.

Imports don't seem to be affected.

Steps to reproduce:

• Create an image ( doesn't matter whether it's created, imported, or opened from a project file)
• Export, making sure to save the file as JPEG

A tool that allows resizing a selected image.

Add a help menu item on the top menu bar with an about section and a section with a user guide.

The title is self-explanatory, I didn't take a look at the code to see why, but it does. The crash is not instantaneous, my cursor starts loading for a second or two, then it crashes.

Like #25, another option for the bucket tool. This one is to add a tolerance option. With the minimum tolerance, only the area with the same color as the clicked pixel is filled, with the maximum tolerance the whole canvas is filled, and for a tolerance value in between, colors that are similar might also be included in the area.
