Does it only crash when you close it from the macOS title bar? Or can it also happen if you close it from the right click menu? We believe we found an issue that only happened when closing from the macOS title bar, which will be fixed in the upcoming version of PureRef.
Thank you for the kind words, we're happy to hear you find PureRef useful! We'll do our best to keep improving PureRef :)
(Sorry for the slow response, we just realized we hadn't answered this)
We're trying a few things for the upcoming version of PureRef that might help but we haven't found a way to repro it still so if you notice any pattern in when it happens please let us know!
Thank you for notifying us about this issue, we believe we have found the issue and will have it fixed in the upcoming version of PureRef.
Just to gather some more details: does it only happen if you quit from the macOS titlebar and not if you select close from the right click menu?
Sorry for the inconvenience.
We haven't really encountered this issue before which is why there's no deselect all command right now but maybe that's something we can add for future versions of PureRef! Until then, another, maybe a bit easier, workaround might be to use Ctrl+Click to deselect the top image and then click it again to only select that one, would that work? You can also use the left/right arrow key
Are you using a track pad on a laptop by any chance? Some laptop keyboards lock the track pad when typing, usually it can be configured somewhere but we can't answer exactly where unfortunately. A workaround from PureRef could be to re-bind crop to something else than a single letter key. Modifiers like Ctrl/Shift/Alt usually doesn't lock the keyboard and should work, maybe even if you a
This actually already exists in PureRef! The action is called Open Source and is accessible via Ctrl+Shift+O or in the right click menu under Images->Selection->Open Source. Does that work for you?
Thank you for notifying us about this issue. We've tried to reproduce it but can't seem to do it on our setup... Could you share some more details about your setup? If you can share the output from the crash dialog that would also be super helpful!
When you open a .dmg it is mounted as a virtual disk (dmg stands for disk image) so that you can access its content. When you open it you can then drag drop PureRef into your Applications folder to copy it to your normal disk so you can access it from the launchpad. This is why the dmg also contains a shortcut to the Applications folder to make drag dropping it there easy.
Does that make sense?
We're looking into what we can do to make some of the most used features more accessible in future versions of PureRef and will keep your suggestion in mind for that!
If you're toggling it often and find that Ctrl+Shift+A is too cumbersome to use you can always use the keybinder in settings to bind it to something more easily accessible.
Thanks for the suggestion! Glad to hear you
Have you tried the Resize To Selection (Ctrl+Shift+R) option? Other than that you can use double click or space on a selection to frame it in the window but you probably know that already.
We would like to offer support for both iOS and Android and we're looking into how to do that but it is a pretty big task and there's a lot of problems to solve so we can't promise anything yet. But keep an eye out for updates!
Thanks for letting us know this is something you would like to have.
Thanks for the suggestions! Improving the notes is something we hope to be able to do for a future version of PureRef so we'll keep your suggestions in mind when we get to it!
We're sorry to hear that you have issues with that, would you be able to share a scene with the issue so we could take a look and maybe get it fixed? Do they just disappear or do you have to re-link the images? We're aware that there's an issue with auto save not always triggering for some specific case, could that be your issue?
You can find the old version of PureRef here until
There's a feature to lock the entire canvas with Ctrl+R or in the right click menu under Canvas -> Lock Canvas. Could this be what you're looking for or do you need to be able to lock specific images only?
Our recommendation is to try to split up your refs in at least a few different boards but we also understand the convenience of having one for everything. As it is right now PureRef will hold all loaded images in memory uncompressed, so it can get out of hand if you go crazy with your board, but it all depends on the source size of the images you load into PureRef.
There's a few options yo
Are you running PureRef on Windows through the command prompt? It is currently a bit awkward since PureRef requires a GUI and Windows doesn't really consider it a command line application. You can get the help output working by running it through another command prompt like Git Bash or similar, however the available options should work fine even if the help print doesn't. We're look
This is a problem with X, as by default frameless windows behave this way... we're looking into workarounds but it has proven to be quite complicated unfortunately.
If you have your images locally on disk, relative to the .pur file in the same structure on all your computers you should be able to select to not embed local images in the settings, or is this not working for you?
We answered this elsewhere as well but adding the same here for discoverability:
Not much has changed unfortunately, as said above we're using Qt and this has been a requested feature over there for a while as well: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-6582
We're keeping our eyes open for news over there but we'll also see if there's any other solution we could apply if
PDF support and filename displaying is both things we have on the todo list and hope to be able to add to a future version of PureRef. We're not quite sure what you mean with the "zoom extend" point though, could you elaborate?
Thanks for the suggestions!
This is definitely something that would be awesome, however it is a pretty huge/expensive task for us so it is pretty far down the todo list... but maybe we can get to it sometime in the future!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Sorry for the slow response on this, we've tried to repro it but haven't been able so far. We unfortunately missed the file you shared in the initial post so if you can share it again we'll try to take a look at that one as well.
Thank you for the suggestion! This is something we want to try to make better for future versions of PureRef but we haven't gotten to it yet. There's a bunch of threads on the forum about grouping images that you can check out as well and chip in to if you have any additional ideas and we'll consider them all when we get to it!
PureRef is available through a pay-what-you-want model as we believe that everyone who can will contribute what they feel PureRef is worth. If you want to try PureRef before you decide whether you want to support us or not you can enter 0 in the custom amount box on the download page.
Thank you for the detailed suggestion! This is something we would like to get fixed in a future version but we don't know when we'll be able to get to it yet unfortunately, but keep your eyes open for updates!
We moved your suggestion to the suggestion part of the forum, hope that is okay.
Thanks for the suggestion. We'll see what we can do for future versions of PureRef!
