Need a small project to work on with Sagelight

[Peter Ising]

I am glad to see that Sagelight is back. I really like using the editor and it has been my goto editor for the last few years.

I have mailed the following suggestion, but maybe this is a good place to have them here as a discussion. Though I have used Sagelight for some time now, I have not exhaustively used all its options. So chances are that some of the suggestions may already be implemented, I'm just not aware of them yet.

There seems to be memory leak (unless it is only happening on the two systems (Win-7 and Win-10) that I am using Sagelight on). Each time I open up the 'Power Box Control' Sagelight grabs more memory and does not release it (Task-Manager shows this). I have a suspicion that there are other cases where this happens, but this is the most obvious - eventually the program stops responding and crashes.

I think it would be nice is to have more consistency between some of the controls, like Vignette-blur shape selection (Filters & effects) is quite different to Vignette/gradient shape selection.

Keep previously selected option for modules (as is the case with 'Noise-reduction control'), so when modules are reopened one does not have to re-select preferences, like
- Auto-crop in 'Rotate Image' (also adding new option to keep aspect ratio)
- Aspect-ratio and precut-size in 'Crop-image'
- and others
(may even use them as default start-up settings)

Provide a 'heal' option under 'Clone brush' for smoother and better blinding at edges and colour/brightness matching in the middle.

Use of the mouse wheel to zoom-in/out or to increase default options like resizing the brush while the cursor is over the image

Use right mouse button to move window when zoomed in

These are just a few things that would be nice to have.

I look forward to version 5 - and I wish you, Rob, all the best.

PS. just a couple of other things.
- I had not realised that the pro-options are no longer available. I do use them (mainly to adjust blacks and whites) and would like to see them back.
- I followed the 'Thomas Kinkade-style Paintings' tutorial the other day and when I wanted to try it out, I noticed that the 'Blend Undo Image' is no longer under the edit menu. Has that shifted to somewhere else or is it gone?
