Version 2.56 (18-Feb-2004) of Paint on VRPC allows selection of an outline font whereas version 2.54 (30-Aug-2023) on RISC OS 5.30 does not. I was so used to this from VRPC that I had not realised that !Paint on RISC OS 5 did not support this. It is most welcome to see another feature of RISC OS Select added to RISC OS 5 after only 21 years.

For me Recyclone did what i wanted it to do, with the added benefit of being built into the OS with a configure plugin. Transient i’m sure has it benefits but wasn’t a good fit for me. i’m surprised RO5 doesnt have a built in recycle bin option built in as yet. also the tool layout in paint in select was in a nicer sidebar attached to the sprite dialogue not detached and sometimes missing and had to be brought up like it is in RO5

It helps if you mix in a bit of praise too, though.

Nope, not at all.
It’s not just praise that helps developers, as there are “faults” that aren’t actually technical failures.
Explanations of what is perceived as not right, and suggestions for an alternate, are useful too.

Maybe you could run it and make notes on the bits that don’t “feel” right to you?
Maybe some of the things you don’t feel happy with are common to other users, maybe they haven’t done any feedback.
Nothing ever improves without constructive feedback
