+ ImportController is no longer relying on the deserializer to build a
piskel instance
+ Static builders have been added to Piskel and Layer to help easily
create new instances from existing elements
+ piskel deserialization is now clearly asynchronous
+ added utils.Deserializer (not a singleton though, more a builder/loader)
+ utils.Deserializer constructor expects a callback
+ when all layers are loaded and piskel is ready, the callback provided by
the client is called with piskel as the first argument
- Deserializer doesn't fit in the utils package, which should be reserved
to singletons : can move it to service as a PiskelLoaderService, and
Deserializer could remain with only the purely static methods
- ImportController is realying on the Deserializer to build a Piskel but
it shouldn't. Find a way to mutualize the code necessary to create a
Piskel from an array of pskl.model.Frame
- still cleanup to do in app.js
- comments to add as well
- Initial implementation : working but ...
- MODEL_VERSION has been bumped to 2
- The loading process is now theoretically asynchronous (loading images to
read the content of the layers), but for now, the asynchronous behaviour
is hidden behind a nasty hack, which is somehow similar to lazy loading.
When loading the piskel, a Piskel is created synchronously, with fake
empty frames, and as the images will get loaded, the fake frames will be
replaced by the actual frames.
I really don't like this, and the asynchronous nature of the loading
should be clearly expressed
- There is no backward compatible deserializer for the previous version of
the model (1)
- The Serializer utils is just badly designed. Serialization and
deserialization should be splitted into two different classes
- Saving & loading are still done in app.js and should be moved to
services
BUT : the size of the piskels is now pretty small. A piskel which was
using 890kB previously is now using only 10kB. Although it should be
noted, that after gzip there is no significant difference between this
version and the existing one. The only gains we can really expect with
this are : less disk space used on appengine, ability to reuse the
layers' pngs directly on piskel-website (but to be honest I can't see any
valid use case for this)
- When imported 1 picture and then importing another one, the picture
preview was not cleaned and was displaying the two images side by side.
Fixed in ImportController.js
- Switched all double-quoted strings in ImportController to single-quoted
strings. Should enforce this using jshint
- Aligned all inputs in the import picture panel
- Renamed 'Preview :' import section to 'Info :'. Mostly it's to make it
shorter, but also I'd like to display additional information to the
right of the preview in the future.
- Created AbstractRenderer in rendering package
- Created CachedRenderer and CachedFrameRenderer to extract basic frame
caching logic from DrawingController
- Created RendererManager to synchronize updates made to several Renderer
settings
- Moved FrameRenderer from pskl.rendering to pskl.rendering.frame
- Fixed the resize of the drawing area when the window is resized
- added pskl.controller.settings.ImportController (empty atm)
- moved SettingsController under settings namespace
- move settings templates in a dedicated folder
- created import icon (svg is in the resources folder)
- added import button in right-layer
!! NOT STABLE !!
Initial implementation. No UI update yet.
Check js/model/Piskel.js and js/model/Layer.js for an overview of the new
API.
Piskels can be saved on the existing service.
Previous piskels cannot be loaded. This should be fixed soon.
