Overlay Redux Version 4.0 Alpha 2

[vortex2]

Hey folks, here is the latest version of my overlay upgrade.

New in this version:

*) Scrolling now works with the overlay object!

*) Alpha channel is no longer lost while stretching

*) Save to different image formats by changing the extension, if you use an extension different then one supported by an MMF 2 image filter it will default to saving as a jpeg file!

*) Added text drawing support!

Let me know if you guys find any bugs, and have fun .

Nice going. Quite and improvement on the old version. Wow.

Suggestion:
"f you use an extension different then one supported by an MMF 2 image filter it will default to saving as a jpeg file!"
I would suggest PNG and not JPEG as default. JPEG loses image quality while PNG doesn't and still compresses better. JPEG is only recommended for photos, and overlay is mainly used for less... "photoish" images.

Edit: Another suggestion - The font action is missing more font options such as Bold, Italic, Underline etc.

Another Edit: I remade the icon, A renew of the extension should renew the icon too.

I have opened a forum in the test tank for this.

Guys please head over to the testing tank and test this extension. The sooner it is tested and bugs are found, the sooner I can release it. The thing that really slows me down when I make extensions is not getting quick testing, I generally only have a small window of time to release an extension before I might have to wait weeks or months to have more time.

Please change the support for ink effects by replacing actions like "set ink effect to ..." by a single action like "change ink effect" which display a little window with a dropdown list with all ink effects available for MMF2 like ADD and SUBSTRACT and other futures ink effects.
