Hmm, I really thought this forum is death, same for the program.
I worked now nearly one year with this great tool and it's great to hear that you are planning to release 1.7 another day (hopefully before duke nukem
)
So some ideas and suggestions:
-rulers: like in Photoshop, you should be able to put in rulers which are omnipresent. Mapzone is really great but it's not useful when you need to make some things on the pixel exactly or even nearly to be exactly. I mean now static rulers at the edges of the texture, just that you an e.g. see where 100 pixels vertical is. Also some dynamic ruler lines would be great, like the lines in Photoshop which can be shoven horizontal or vertical.
-I use the prozedural fx maps quite often but I have a decent problem there. I am moving the patterns around my texture without having a single idea at which coordinates they are atm. It's great that it shows you how much you move them at the moment, but when there is no informations when you don't move them, it's pretty senseless.
So it would be good if when you move a pattern in an prozedural fx map around, it shows you it's coordinates at the top of the texture of sth.
I really hope that 1.7 will come out, to clean significantly bugs and add some needed features, waiting hard for the tga output
