Describe the bug

Drag screenshot into BeeRef and it is reflected horizontally.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

MacOS

1. On MacOS, press Cmd+Shift+4 to take a screenshot of your screen
2. Click [done] button

Then open BeeRef

1. Drag Screenshot_x.png onto BeeRef
2. https://i.imgur.com/XYuo35u.png

Expected behavior

Png files added to BeeRef should render similarly to other image viewer apps.

Debug log:

Not sure if needed or how to get this on MacOS. There is no Help menu on MacOS BeeRef.

It's great to have a clean canvas at startup, but sometimes it's also useful to be able to quickly locate a past project.

So how about an optional grid of previews for recently opened projects? Similar to this mockup for MuseScore 4:

Describe the bug When rotating an image, the edges are jagged which could be because no antialiasing is used. I think this can be enabled by setting a window hint like here

To Reproduce

1. Open a bee file and rotate an image

Expected behavior It should rotate and look good.

I would like to try BeeRef, but MacOS blocks it from opening due to 'security'.

Reproduce steps:

• download latest release zip for Mac
• unzip
• there is no .app file, so open a terminal and launch BeeRef-0.1.1 executable
• MacOS prevents it from running, so open Security & Privacy and click 'Allow anyway'
• launch BeeRef-0.1.1 executable again
• a new 'can't be opened' prompt appears:

A package called BeeRef.app would be most convenient for Mac users. Is it possible to build BeeRef.app when making a release?

Describe the bug

If building in a virtual environment, installing packages via pip -r requirements/dev.txt won't pull all needed packages.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. python3 -m venv env
2. env/bin/activate
3. pip install requirements/dev.txt

Expected behavior

Install all needed packages.

Fix Doing:

• pip install PyQt6
• pip install exif
• pip install rectangle-packer

Fixed the problem.

Here is also output from pip freeze from my virtual environment (IDK if that's will help you more): beeref-pip-freeze.txt

My environment is MacOSX, so packackages like macholib are platform specific (probably pulled in by pyinstaller - I am not a python guru).

Fixing a little typo 😄

Btw: theres a second one in your CONTRIBUTING file "Developing" instead of "Delevoping" in the header, which I couldn't fix due to I being on the gh-pages branch.

With the current setup this is what MacOS X users would see when they run BeeRef.

Note how the version is in the menu bar. This is caused by having the version in the name of the app bundle. This is not a common practice really. Version is typically tracked via Info.plist.

Attached patch makes a small change to change this behavior, so that users would see this:

Patch: 00.patch.txt

@rbreu I can open a PR with this change if you like it, or you can go ahead and apply it yourself. Whatever is less hassle for you.

Wanted to help contribute to this project as I love the idea for art. However, after cloning main and installing the deps in a virtual env I ran into some failing test on windows 11 PC.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. clone repo
2. run python -m venv env
3. run '.\env\Scripts\activate'
4. run 'pip install -e .'
5. run 'pip install -r requirements/dev.txt'
6. run 'pip install --upgrade pip'
7. run 'pytest .'

Expected behavior I would expect there to be no errors or test failures when running pytest on main

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Drag BeeRef to the Applications folder.
2. Attempt to open but receive message "The application BeeRef.app can't be opened".
3. Check in the Securities and Privacy system settings but there is no option to allow.

Running MacOS Ventura.

Describe the bug Sadly I haven't managed to replicate exactly the bug pattern but essentially is when I have multiple pics on BeeRef, I do something on Beeref it could be moving the canvas or moving some pic. Then I came back to Krita. Beeref crashes on the moment I do that. I find it happens mostly when I have the "on top" feature activated. I use an XP-Pen Tablet so maybe that have something to do with the problem.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open beeref with multiple pictures
2. Do something with the pictures on Beeref while the "on top picture" is on.
3. Go back to the other program you are using

Expected behavior I expect the software to do nothing when I change to the other program.

I think I mess up the debug log so I will upload it when I manage to crash beeref again. If I find any extra detail I will post it.

Not required, but it's better to have this controlled by the upstream

Relevant:

This PR enables antialiasing for primitive shapes (selection boundary / manipulator circles) and smooth image filtering (issue #58) to improve the visual appearance.

One downside of smooth filtering is the use in pixel art images. Maybe this could be a per image setting in the future.
