This is a smaller update to get some fixes and smaller additions out before starting work on a larger 1.3 update. Feature-wise the update brings some improvements to the Group Apply Function node, allowing element size to be used as an input and allowing you to set a manual input value range instead of having it calculated automatically based on the input elements. The basically allows you to make the range absolute instead of relative, which can be desirable in some situations, while it then requires you to do a little more work setting the input value range correctly yourself.
In addition to this the update also fixes a couple of UX issued with dragging/manipulating layers in group layers and nested transformed repetitions and fixes an SVG export issue where bitmap data would sometimes be needlessly embedded in exported SVGs bloating their file size.
Changes and improvements
– Added Element Size X and Size Y as possible inputs for the Group Apply Function Node.
– Allow setting a manual absolute input value range in the Group Apply Function Node instead of using the automatic input range calculated based on the input elements.
– Improved format validation and error messages when entering license codes.
Bug fixes
– Fixed Apply Function Node sometimes getting incorrect automatic input ranges due to precision errors when all elements are the same.
– Fixed drag offset of repeated and transformed layers in group layers sometimes going the wrong way.
– Fixed exported SVG files containing embedded bitmap data for hidden bitmap image layers, resulting in larger file sizes.
– Fixed missing element resizing handles for the original element in layers with multi-level repetitions.
