Custom Templates
Zuescho opened this issue · 3 comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to use a different Template instead of the provided one.
Describe the solution you'd like
Let us chose which template should be used, maybe in the same dropdown as the simple / template selection.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Let us replace the template as a file in the Program Files folder.
Additional context
Thanks for the Program does a lot of things better than the alternatives i have found so far.
I have been thinking about this too. But I never thought about completely customizable cause of some requirements.
Still I have thought about this, and I think I can implement it. But the inputs will have to be more than just the templates image.
The user will have to provide the size of the poster within the template too. Also they need to provide the starting pixels of poster in the template, which makes it a bit more complicated. I could initially put the burden on the user and let them be responsible for the calculations. And eventually update the app to help with them.
But honestly the easiest and simplest way would be to just integrate your template as a permanent part of the app. But if you are not comfortable with that or would just rather prefer a customizable template option, I will work on it.
Also it's not either or. I could add your template as part of the app for the next release and then add the customizable template feature in future releases
Yeah this could lead to some problems, for now i wanted to try to just replace the template png in the jar file with my own (or better said something I found on the Internet).
For example, I would use this now https://www.deviantart.com/920r9/art/DVD-Plastic-Case-for-GIMP-106113654
but I can see how it would get problematic if I could just add any template, like for example these, which are going for a whole different style.

Edit: okay, after some drag and drop replacing stuff and trying to fix it via gimp. i can now see the problem with making this frame.png freely changeable.
So i would love if we could maybe get this https://www.deviantart.com/920r9/art/DVD-Plastic-Case-for-GIMP-106113654 as an option for the frame background
