Dixel 0.0.10: paste-and-go, and transform that snaps to the grid

Dixel — Pixel art, built for Android

Dixel 0.0.10 sharpens the on-canvas transform that arrived in 0.0.9. Pasting is faster to work with, moving and scaling now stay true to the pixel grid, and the handles are easier to see and grab.

Paste, then just move it​

Paste an image and the transform box is already there — handles and all. Drag it into place right away, scale a corner, or turn it, without a separate step to start moving. Commit when it looks right, and the whole paste lands as one undo step.

Transform snaps to the pixel grid​

This is the big one. Move, scale, and rotate now lock to the canvas pixel grid. The box lands on whole pixels, and what you see in the preview is exactly what commits — no more nudging a paste only to find it settled half a pixel off. For pixel art, where every pixel counts, placement is now exact.

Easier to grab​

The transform handles are larger, and the selection outline is a little bolder, so both stand out over busy artwork and are easier to drag on a touch screen.

The full list is on the changelog.

Thanks for drawing with Dixel. More to come.
