Path panel Adobe Fireworks 8 Extension [Command Panel] Aaron Beall ---[ DESCRIPTION ]--- This is a command panel that provides quick access to many path related commands. Some commands are built into Fireworks, others were created by a 3rd party(as noted in the release notes), and the rest were programmed specifically for this panel. http://fireworks.abeall.com ---[ TODO ]--- - [DONE-v1.1] Make Fillet command work on curves(partly done) - Recreate proper dialog windows for Path > Alter > Expand Stroke & Inset Path - Create interactive dialog for Path > Alter > Extrude Paths and Blend Paths - Attempt to make more efficient use of space(remove some labels?) and add more commands - Create help file with more detailed descriptions of each command - Some error message dialogs are not localized - [DONE-v1.1] Blend Paths and Extrude Paths to repeat on resulting element groups, to simulate a live effect - New command candidates: Trim Paths, Exclude Paths, Incision Paths, Roughen Paths, Fisheye, Twirl, Knife on Anchors, Straigten/Tangent/Flip/Length Handles, Hold/Fetch Paths, Add Points, Subdivide Points, Distribute to Points - New commands to be made and possibly added: Stroke Path, Deform to Path, Mesh Warp Path, Scatter/Distribute Inside Path - Hold Ctrl/Cmd and click to use previous settings - [DONE] Package into MXP Fireworks Extension ---[ KNOWN ISSUES ]--- - Due to how SWF panels work, after you click on the panel it doesn't focus to canvas after many of the commands, so keyboard shortcuts fail until you click back on the canvas or document tab. Commands with this affect are: All the Path.Combine commands, Invert Paths, Open Close Paths, Straighten Points, Smooth Points, Round Points to Pixels, Round Points to Half Pixels, all the Point.Select commands - Unexpected results when using Point > Edit > Mirror when all selected points fall along the same axis being mirrored(horizantal or vertical) - Divide Paths sometimes creates extra shapes and not all expected sub-shapes - Extrude Paths sometimes does not correctly order all the extruded portions - Blend Paths does not blend gradients/patterns/textures or brush attributes, only solid fills and strokes - [FIXED?] Point > Select > Top, Bottom, Left, Right sometimes misses points it should select ---[ VERSION HISTORY ]--- *** v1.1.0 Extrude Paths and Blend Paths enhanced to be able to modify existing Extrude/Blend groups Fillet Points enhanced to work on curved points, not just straight points Minor bug fixes *** v1.0.0 Final release of v1.0 and shipped with Fireworks CS3 *** v0.9.2 Localization implemented *** v0.9.1 Path > Alter > Extrude Paths depth sorting impproved and optimized Point > Select > Top/Bottom/Left/Right algorithm improved for better accuracy *** v0.9 Localization framework put in place Path > Combine > Divide improved for better compatibility *** v0.8 Removed Path > Alter > Round Corners because it did not provide any functionality that Point > Edit > Fillet didn't provide, and needed the room for more valuable commands Added Path > Alter > Extrude Paths Added Path > Alter > Blend Paths *** v0.7 Point > Select > Left, Right, Top, Bottom added Some Graphic updates to better represent point selection *** v0.6.1 Fixed bug with Point > Edit > Fillet where applying to whole object and using radius larger than some nodes maximum radius wouldn't limit to the correct maximum radius Smarter Point > Edit > Mirror Points to mirror handles if only 1 point selected *** v0.6 Path > Combine > Divide code completely re-written with much better performance and accuracy Path > Edit > Fillet updated Path > Alter > Round Corners updated Path > Alter > Open/Close Path added *** v0.5 Path > Alter > Round Path Corners operational Point > Edit > Fillet Points operational Graphical arrangement update *** v0.4 Path > Alter > Expand Stroke, Inset Path operational Point > Edit > Rotate, Mirror added Graphical icon update *** v0.3 Point > Select > Grow/Shrink controller operational Path > Alter > Simplify operational *** v0.2 Path > Combine > Divide operational Path > Alter > Invert operational Point > Edit > Straigten, Smooth, Round Points, Round to Half Points, Move, Scale operational Point > Select > Contour, All Points, No Points operational *** v0.1 Initial panel and button graphic creation, with only FW native Path > Combine operations working ---[ CREDITS ]--- Point > Edit > Straighten, Smooth, Round Points, Round Half Points, Move Points, Scale Points, Rotate Points; by Trevor McCauley - senocular.com Divide Paths, Round Path Corners, Fillet; inspired by Kleanthis Economou - projectfireworks.com
