v0.0.5

Sue keeps itself up to date now, Sue Paint is much faster and works with more drawing tablets, and Sue Writer starts like Word.

Highlights

  • Updates itself. Sue checks for a new release once a day and shows what is new in a small window. Check for Updates is in the Sue menu and in Settings. On Windows it downloads the new installer and restarts into it. Other systems update the way you installed Sue. Every download is checked against the release's checksums.
  • Huge brushes keep up. Painting with a 2000 pixel brush on a big picture with many layers now takes about a millisecond a frame instead of a quarter of a second, in the browser too.
  • Drawing tablet pressure. Pen pressure works with Huion, XP-Pen and other tablets whose driver has Windows Ink turned off, and with pens in the browser. Sue Paint's start page has a Pen Pressure setting to fit the curve to your hand.
  • Sue Writer starts like Word. Start from a blank document or a template such as a letter, resume, report or newsletter. Save your own templates, and use Word and LibreOffice templates.
  • Sue Writer on phones and tablets. The whole page fits the screen. A finger scrolls, pinching zooms, and two handles select text with a Cut, Copy and Paste bar. On Android, copy and paste work with other apps.

Sue Paint

  • .clip files open however you open them: the Sue menu, the start page, dropping one on the window, or the Hub. Phone browsers no longer grey them out.
  • Pinching to zoom no longer undoes your work or closes the picture.
  • Pen strokes on phones and tablets no longer end in a big blob.
  • Nothing paints under an open menu, popup or sheet, which mattered most on phones and tablets.
  • Fixed a crash on short strokes in the browser.

Sue Writer

  • Opens PDF files, and Word and LibreOffice templates (.dotx, .ott).
  • Pages can be turned on their side.
  • On phones and tablets, more tools in a sliding toolbar and the top bar, and the keyboard stays up while you work.

Also changed

  • Settings can reset one setting, one page or everything back to how Sue comes.
  • Image Viewer has Undo and Redo buttons.
  • Browser version: a phone with Request Desktop Site turned on gets the desktop layout. Tablets keep the tablet layout.
  • Look: slider handles are thin rectangles, and the Hub's pin is a real pushpin that lights up on its own.
  • Status bar: the thin bar along the bottom is off by default. Settings turns it back on.

Installing

Windows: Sue-0.0.5-windows-x64-setup.exe is the easiest (x86 for 32-bit PCs, arm64 for ARM ones). The .msi is the same installer for managed PCs, and the -portable.zip runs from any folder. Or install with Scoop:

scoop install https://github.com/MagiGun/sue/releases/latest/download/sue.json

Sue is not code-signed yet, so Windows may say "Windows protected your PC" or "Unknown publisher". Choose More info, then Run anyway. Before extracting the portable zip, right-click it, choose Properties and tick Unblock, or Windows asks again for every program inside. Scoop installs without the warning.

macOS: the .dmg. Linux: the AppImage runs almost anywhere; there are also a Flatpak, .deb, .rpm, an Arch package and a tarball. Android: the .apk. FreeBSD and iPhone and iPad (to sign with your own Apple account) have packages too. More at https://magigun.github.io/sue/.
