basically the title lol
i think it'd be cool if:
- there was a search function in the pattern maker. like if you search "skull" or whatever it pulls up all the patterns in your pattern maker with that word in the name. and also if you could search or filter by pattern type like perler, multi, peyote, etc. i have like 6 (and counting) pages of patterns and its a total pain in the butt to have to look through all of them in search of a specific pattern i made months ago! and i cant imagine for people who have more
- you could save custom colors to the palette in the maker. i like to match my pattern colors to the colors of beads i have and want to use and it'd be cool if i could save them to a palette so i dont have to keep using the color picker every time i make a new pattern.
- there was a way to re-size grids without making a new pattern. like a resize tool in the actual maker itself. im crap at estimating pattern sizes and theres been way too many times ive had to make an entirely new pattern bc i made the grid too small sometimes i do a 50x50 and then crop when im done but sometimes the zoom feature bugs out and i have to restart anyways :/
- there was a recolor button in the maker so you could change all the pixels/grid boxes of a certain color to a different color. ik i could use the bucket tool but it becomes kinda tedious when i have to use the fill tool on like 50 different grid boxes lol.
- ctrl + z/y worked in the maker! this isnt too important but sometimes i do find myself ctrl + z'ing when i make a mistake and always wonder why it isnt a feature like with most sites of creating-nature.
ya, thats it! feel free to add any more ideas if u have any. ill edit this post if i come up with any more but this is all ive got rn. id really love to see these features or smth similar implemented one day
(also i noticed that when i use the search function on the site to look for patterns, sometimes the "types of patterns" selection boxes work backwards lol. like if i tick "perler" it excludes all the perler patterns instead of showing them only, so i have to tick everything except for perler so it excludes everything else. not sure if its just my browser buggin out or what but whatever lol.)
