Latest updates
1.3
This 1.3 update is again insane :
Added :
Tab bar — Create, Canvases, and Settings as first-class homes (Paint Studio / result stay fullscreen)
Language — System / English / Nederlands, with a full Dutch string catalog across Create, Customize, Processing, Gallery, Settings, Paint Studio, and export
Look presets on Customize — Poster, Soft watercolor, Bold comic (one-tap colors, smoothing, region size, and line style)
Before ↔ After compare slider on Your Canvas — drag to compare quantized photo vs painted result
Stats — quiet paint-time tracking (today, this week, active days, average, busiest day, week chart, library counts); no streaks or badges
App Settings — default pencil brand, Paint Studio defaults, new-canvas defaults, Resume tile, haptics, keep screen awake, preferred look, Rate, Send feedback
Firebase feedback — Settings → Send feedback writes to my Paint by Code Firestore project
Gallery folders — create, rename, delete folders; filter chips; move canvases into folders
Gallery multi-select — select many canvases, then Move or Delete
Gallery swipe-to-delete with confirmation
Clear selected photo on Create — dismiss preview and return to pick Library / Camera
Resume last canvas on Create — shows last opened (relative time) under the wizard
Collapsible Settings sections with live summaries when closed
About & how it works as one Settings row (was separate Create toolbar actions)
Changed
Create wizard redesigned — cleaner step flow, richer Library/Camera rows, look chips after photo pick, clearer Continue to Customize; iPad side-by-side layout
Create copy emphasizes digital coloring (not only print)
Create tab label in Dutch: Nieuw (instead of “Maken”)
Customize: step 3 of 3 header; photo preview removed so controls use full width
Paint Studio: pinch to zoom while drawing (1 finger / Pencil draws; pinch zooms; 2 fingers pan) — Zoom mode optional for one-finger pan
Gallery list layout — wider thumbnails, denser rows, horizontal header
Opening a saved canvas no longer freezes the UI (background load + “Opening canvas…”)
Export options sheet opens larger by default
Settings collapse animation stays inside its own card (no content flying over neighbors)
Localization uses the active in-app language reliably (Paint Studio status tips, gallery counts, export titles, resume dates)
Fixed
Language switch no longer remounts the whole app (avoids SIGKILL / jetsam on device)
Dutch UI still showing English in Settings summaries, Create copy, resume dates, and Paint Studio status (“Draw with finger or Apple Pencil”)
Rate / review button: clearer behavior in Simulator vs live App Store review link
Canvas open felt stuck — heavy decode work moved off the main thread; gallery no longer decodes huge segmentation JSON just to list items
Removed
Example / teaser canvas on Create (tabs replace the old home chrome)
Separate Create toolbar for About / How it works
Tip strip under Create after Resume moved into the wizard flow
