MultiSite Support

@trutherone Here are answers to your queries:

1. Though the Plugin has not been extensively tested on Multisite instances, it should work without much issue as it uses standard WordPress media handling methods. It’s recommended that you try in a sandbox environment before deploying the plugin on your Multisite Production environment.

2. Any media restrictions have to be dealt with using third party plugins as WP Paint doesn’t deal with Media Permissions / Restrictions.

3. We are working on a “Save As” feature and it could be coming soon to a new version of WP Paint.

Hey, thanks for the fast reply!,

Just tested on multiSite network-enabled it seems to work flawlessly (tried on 2 out of 36 similar spec subsites).

I’m sure i could knock something together to limit directory access … however overall i’m a little disappointed with the inflexibility of the text-tool. Text is the main thing i want my users to work with and there seems to be serious limitation especially for newbie users :

1. No ability to move text via drag and drop once added to the image.

2. Inadvertent clicks on the image randomly places an new text onto the image. Whilst trying to move the first text layer via click and drag each click on the image just produces another text layer, which is how you find out that you cant move it, its static!

3. You can’t go back into a text layer and edit it i.e. change colour, font-size
if you don’t get it right upon creation; tough, your stuffed! or am i missing
something

All-in-all very frustrating for an experienced user let alone newbies.

@trutherone Answer to your queries below:

1. You can move your text layer by selecting the Arrow Tool from the left-hand side toolbox and then selecting the corresponding layer. This allows you to drag and move the text layer.

2. Once the text is created select the arrow tool. Also, you can remove inadvertent layers from the right-hand bottom corner layers toolbox.

3. You can go to the right-hand “Layer Details” toolbox to edit existing Text Layers by selecting the corresponding layer from the “Layers” toolbox.

Just trying your suggestions :

1. You can move your text layer by selecting the Arrow Tool from the left-hand …
Yes , OK that works as expected now, though small niggle; if you create a linebreak in your text (presumably converted to a paragraph, then you can only manipulate the first paragraph block.

2. Once the text is created select the arrow tool.
Yes, Ok got that now

3. You can go to the right-hand “Layer Details” toolbox to edit existing Text…
This is still fiddly; in order to see font-style changes you have to keep on hitting the edit text button then your new ‘font-face’ choice changes. Its all a bit fiddly and i think will just frustrate newbs even more thus giving me even more headaches having to write support/how-to tutorials for what is actually very simple editing.

It may be because i’m use to using Photoshop; however my users probably aren’t so they might ‘Get It’ first time. Ill give it a trial run on a few sites and see what feedback i get.

With thanks for your time and patience.
