What's New in Callipeg

2.7.9

October 26, 2026

What's new: - Stretch previous sheet: new Timeline option: adding a sheet in an empty frame stretches the previous sheet up to it. - Multi-finger tap shortcuts: Taps can be assigned to any shortcut with "+ Add gesture" in the shortcut editor. Undo, redo and play now wait until the current stroke is finished, and playing a one-frame range says why it didn't start. Fixes: - PSD export with layer groups: exporting a project that contains layer groups to PSD no longer hangs forever (with Cancel doing nothing) or crashes. - PSD visibility and groups: hidden layers stay hidden in exported PSDs, and PSDs from any app now import with their hidden layers hidden. Layer-per-sheet PSDs with groups import back with their groups intact. Large PSD exports are also faster. - PSD / TGA sequence export: choosing PSD or TGA in the image-sequence format list no longer exports the other format. - Transparent HEVC import: transparent HEVC videos now import with their transparency instead of a black background. Stability: - Fixed crashes when deleting the current layer during a transform, and when adding or removing layers while the canvas is rendering.

bug修复

修bug很及时,没再遭遇bug了,以后别再发没充分测试的版本了吧

Fell short of what I was expecting

I’m getting a lot of lag when I’m drawing which makes it kind of unusable really. Funny enough the zoom is rather erratic and too sensitive.
It’s missing a frame swapping feature for lip syncing but it’s more of a traditional animation style I guess. I was hoping it would replace my other software but it fell short for me.
The idea is good but seems like it needs some tuning for performance

未经测试的新版本

新版本好似没有测试一般有特别严重的吞图bug,甚至不能用撤回解决问题,这样的新版本还不如别上。

I miss the cheap subscription

I wanted to try calipeg again after all these years. Any chance you can bring back the 1 week subscription plan for 0.99? ):
i don’t want to pay the full 1 month plan price because it’s expensive

Buttons to Replace Gestures

^for example, having a button to lock dimensions when transforming a drawing. Holding one finger down almost never works. I would follow Procreate’s model: they have options for uniform, Freeform, warping, or distorting transformations.
