Is there a portable version or is it possble to make this portable? Thanks.
Yes, you can create a portable copy. First, install Chasys Draw IES on your main computer. Then, launch Chasys Draw IES Artist and from the main menu, select "Configure" then "Install to USB (Portable)". The program will then create a portable copy of itself that you can use when you are away from your main computer.
Please note, however, that some system-dependent functions and optimizations may not work on the portable copy; the system components required for such features may be absent from the computer that you are running the portable copy on and a portable application cannot, by definition, modify the system it is being run on even if such modifications are required for it to function properly.
Features that may not work properly:
* Loading of RAW files (specifically the type for with accelerated loading is used)
* Anything to do with file thumbnails/previews: may either not load or require full decoding hence high CPU usage.
* Anything to do with file associations.
Other things to note:
* Functions that rely on on-disk caches like Undo, Autosave, Shellout and fast plug-in selection may run much slower than usual
* All configs and some temporary files will go to the USB drive you are using, which might be a problem if the USB stick is slow or has limited space.
In summary, portability is allowed, but there's a performance, functionality and reliability penalty.

Hi! Your program is the best viewer out there bar none. I was wondering if you could add a "temperature" slider to make the image warmer or cooler. I am not sure if this is related to the "White Balance" function on some programs. Thank you!
Thank you! I'll see what I can do. I'm thinking perhaps via some sort of "side-car" file so that the original file remains unchanged.

Hi there,
Last time, I created an Art-Textfield and after inserting the text, I wanted to adapt the field to a certain width and height (with the text adapting to the field accordingly). But I couldn´t seem to find a way to do that.
With other programs, this can usually be done by just clicking the field and the dragging the anchor
points that are displayed then. In Chasy´s Draw clicking on the textfield did not bring up any anchors.
In the program´s manual I also didn´t find any information as to how to resize textfields.
So, my question: Did I just not see how resizing is done or is this functuality currently not there?
And if it´s not there now, could it maybe be implemented some day? That would make me very happy!
Thanks already in advance.
Hi,
Thanks for choosing Chasys Draw IES. You can make a text layer resize to fit the text by clicking the "Fit to Text" button. You can also resize a text layer using the Resize tool. Chasys Draw IES doesn't treat text differently from how it treats other layers; text layers are basically layers containing editable text.

Product name: Chasys Draw IES. Wish: more advanced export to DDS (different DXT codecs). Thank you very much for the opportunity to export to this format!
Different formats for DDS... do you have any specific formats in mind that you'd like to see first?

I found the prog quite interesting that it has an adjustment layers to play with. To make it easier to use, I would suggest:
For the lines,
- users could right click an unfinished line to call out a setting pop up to change its width, colour, with arrow or not, arrow type, line type etc
- add a "Set as default" button to let visitors to set a default line format
For the text,
- users could set the default font size, style, alignment, auto-resize, auto-cosmetics etc (ie add a "set as default" button to the "text art editor panel")
- if visitors do not draw the text area before clicking the text icon, prog will make a default text box at the centre
- add an option to enable to adjust the text box size by simply dragging the text box borders
- the auto-resize for Chinese characters always too small (characters are always chopped at the right hand side)
For shapes, it could be easier to operate if
- dotted line are first drawn and then users can "right click" etc to call out a pop up setting panel where he can set the border width, colours, alpha, transparency, how it is filled etc
- add a "Set as default" button to the above setting panel can greatly enhance the operation efficiency
- I like the ora output but it seems not compatible with gimp and krita, please check
Thanks very much for your kind attention and thanks for this prog.
Hi,
Thank you for choosing Chasys Draw IES. Please find my responses below:
LINES:
Unfinished lines: You can change the attributes at any time before final application. What can't be changed is arrow type, but I'll look into that.
Default: The application remembers the last used settings and uses those the next time the Line tool is used, but that doesn't persist between sessions.
TEXT:
Default: I'll look into that
Default text-box: Done, via right-click
Resize by dragging: I'll see what I can do
Chinese characters: I'll check what the issue is
SHAPES:
I'll look into this, thanks.
ORA:
Go to the Config page for the ORA plug-in and select 'Disable Non-standard Extensions'. I'll make this the default in the next version.

Buon giorno John Paul, mi piace molto fare grafica con Chasys Draw IES Artist. Sarebbe possibile inserire alcuni comandi di selezione, per esempio un utilissimo magic Wand nella barra degli strumenti? Grazie e complimenti!
Good morning John Paul, I write from Italy and I really like doing graphics with Chasys Draw IES Artist. Would it be possible to insert some selection commands, for example a very useful magic Wand in the toolbar? Thanks and congratulations!
