Sure, I'll give it a shot, although it may be a little while as things are pretty crazy at the moment. We all just got back from Indonesia the day before yesterday. We're actually still not quite home yet (staying with family in Canada).

If we go for the preset, then we will need to show the brush previews instead of icons.. According to Lukas, it would be slow.

Speaking as a complete non-programmer here*, but wouldn't you just generate the preview image when the preset is first created and then keep that cached? Seems to me (*see disclaimer above) that this should be very fast...

Sure, I am quite busy as well because I just got back from Beijing..

Yup, it seems that way for me. I will ask Lukas how to make use of the cache.

We had live preview of the settings, if you changed some parameter of the preset, the preview was redrawn. That was slow. So it was decided that we store the stroke in the preset and it will be static. Every preset contains image data which supposed to be the stroke, but the user has to create the stroke himself in the scratch box.

err.. ok.. I will look more into it. Maybe I will poke you later when I get to work on it. Thanks Lukas
