    Thanks for this. Seeing the shot description while drawing has come up before, and I have moved it to a planned feature.

    A good place for it would be the bottom area in Focus Mode, showing the start of the frame's description, with a tap to open the full note in Script View. Possibly visible in Board View too, with a "Show text" option that adds a few lines of description under every frame, off by default.


    On the second part, can you clarify what you have in mind? Board View already lets you choose how many frames sit in a row to get more space to draw (in sidebar > settings > frames per row). You can also double-tap on any frame in Board View to open it in Focus Mode, which lets you draw in fullscreen.

    If you mean something different from those two, let us know and we will look at it.

    Thanks again for the feedback.

      Great for the first item.

      For the second, i recognize that’s not clear at all.

      Actually i’m using the first mode to keep an eye on my previous and next frame and be sure of what i’m supposed to do next.

      So i’m consistenly go back and forth between the 3 pages. The last one because i’ve my text, so as my first item notice if you can get a view/hide check button on other page to let pop up the script.

      And in Focus mode, an hide/view button to get on bottom or on side, even it’s small, a sort of frame gallery, like in Acrobat reader, just to remind what was before and what come’s next.

      Thanks for your work

        Thanks, that is much clearer now.

        The first part is covered by what is coming: once descriptions show under the frames, the text is right there while you draw, in Focus Mode and in Board View, so that is one trip fewer.

        For the second, a small show and hide strip of neighboring frames in Focus Mode is a nice idea but a bigger build, so we'll see if it gathers more interest from other users.

        Meantime, there are two fast ways to step through your frames in Focus Mode:

        • The arrows on either side of the canvas move you one frame back or forward.

        • A one finger swipe across the canvas does the same, left for the next frame, right for the previous one.

        Either way you can glance at the shot before or after and come straight back, without leaving the drawing area. This should work even better once descriptions are in, since the text will follow you from frame to frame.

        Thanks again for your feedback.
