Grid tool interaction and shortcut handling during drag operations.
Feature parity with Adobe Illustrator's live grid manipulation for user experience.
This issue highlights a direct functional gap in vectorcraft's grid tools compared to Adobe Illustrator. The core problem is a shortcut handling oversight where Left/Right arrow key inputs are not propagated to the active tool during a drag operation, despite the tool being designed to receive th...

Automation API (MCP) accuracy, specifically tool metadata regarding file system operations.
Reliable and transparent automation capabilities, consistent with Adobe Acrobat's enterprise-grade features.
This printcraft automation bug, where file-writing MCP tools incorrectly advertise readOnlyHint: true and destructiveHint: false, is a severe transparency and reliability issue. Clients relying on the MCP tools/list for accurate metadata will receive misleading information about filesystem side e...

XMP metadata import fidelity, specifically for image geometry transforms (Upright feature).
Accurate preservation of Adobe Lightroom's image adjustments and geometric corrections.
This lightcraft issue reveals a critical flaw in XMP metadata import, specifically concerning Lightroom's Upright geometry corrections. While the PerspectiveUpright mode is recognized, the crucial UprightTransform_* matrices, which define the actual geometric adjustments, are ignored. This forces...

XMP metadata import fidelity, specifically for camera profiles and user feedback on unsupported features.
Accurate preservation of Adobe Lightroom's image adjustments and transparent handling of unsupported features.
lightcraft's silent omission of crs:CameraProfile during XMP import represents a critical transparency failure. While the project acknowledges unsupported proprietary profiles, failing to notify users about ignored settings like 'Canon Camera Faithful' creates a false sense of complete migration....

Stylus input (pressure/tilt) support for PhotoCraft on macOS and Linux.
Achieving feature parity with Windows and web platforms for professional-grade stylus input, crucial for a Photoshop reimplementation. The constraint of 'pure Rust' and forbidding 'unsafe code' dictates specific technical approaches.
This issue identifies a critical functional gap in PhotoCraft: the absence of stylus pressure and tilt input on macOS and Linux, unlike Windows and web versions. This directly impacts the product's ability to serve professional creative users who rely on nuanced pen input for drawing and editing....

Application stability and graphics backend compatibility on Windows.
Ensuring reliable application launch and operation on Windows, specifically addressing crashes related to the Intel Vulkan driver and seeking a robust graphics fallback mechanism (e.g., DirectX) for all launches. This aims for broad compatibility and stability.
This issue details critical application crashes on Windows, specifically with the Intel Vulkan driver, hindering PhotoCraft's basic usability. While a DirectX workaround exists, its manual application and lack of default integration for file associations create significant user friction. The pain...

Camera RAW file format support.
Developing a proprietary, pure-Rust, clean-room RAW decoder to achieve competitive feature parity with professional image editors, specifically addressing a critical market demand and competitor claims of lacking RAW support. The 'no LibRaw, no LGPL deps, no unsafe, wasm-safe' constraints define the architectural approach.
This issue addresses a critical market requirement for PhotoCraft: comprehensive Camera RAW file support. User feedback and competitor claims underscore this as a 'must-have' feature for professional image editing. The decision to build a 'clean-room, pure-Rust decoder' without external dependenc...

Eraser tool behavior on the Background layer.
Aligning the eraser tool's functionality with common expectations in professional paint applications, where erasing on a background layer typically reveals the background color rather than being 'locked out.' This aims for intuitive user experience and feature parity with industry standards.
This issue points to a deviation from standard behavior for the eraser tool on the background layer in PhotoCraft. Instead of revealing the background color, the tool is 'locked out.' This represents a significant usability friction point for users accustomed to professional image editing softwar...

Lack of clear user feedback regarding platform-specific model availability (EAC channel models like DeepSeek / Kimi) in `dsh-our-free-model` when running on non-desktop environments (dsh web / command line).
The plugin aims to provide free, unlimited access to frontier models. However, its current implementation creates user confusion by silently failing to display models unavailable on specific host environments, contradicting the expectation of clear communication.
This issue exposes a significant user experience flaw in `dsh-our-free-model`: the silent unavailability of EAC channel models (DeepSeek, Kimi) on non-desktop DSH environments. Users are left without any UI or log feedback, leading to confusion and the perception of a broken installation. This di...

Failure to access specific AI models (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, Kimi) within the `dsh-our-free-model` plugin on the EAC desktop version, coupled with an 'upstream request failed: fetch failed' error.
The plugin aims to provide free, unlimited access to frontier models without login/API keys. The current issue indicates a failure to deliver on this core value proposition for specific models and environments.
This issue reveals a critical service disruption for `dsh-our-free-model` users on the EAC desktop, specifically regarding access to DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and Kimi models. The 'upstream request failed' error indicates a fundamental connectivity or API issue, directly undermining the plugin's value ...

Frontend error handling and resilience in a React web application.
Delivering a robust, user-friendly web application experience for an AI-driven video generation tool, ensuring continuous operation and clear error feedback.
This issue identifies a critical vulnerability in Reelmimic's frontend resilience: the absence of React error boundaries. Unhandled rendering errors, particularly in dynamic 'live views' fed by event streams, cause the entire UI tree to unmount, resulting in blank pages without user feedback or r...

Feature request for integrated local training capabilities (`ollaya train`) for System 1 decision models, specifically using LoRA, to allow users to fine-tune models on proprietary datasets.
Ollaya maintains its core identity as an "ultra-fast, calibrated in-process runtime" for inference, strictly avoiding bloat from training dependencies. The platform aims to facilitate the *running* of custom-trained models by defining an import path for LoRA adapters and calibration parameters, rather than integrating the training process itself. This ensures a lightweight core while supporting user customization.
This discussion highlights a fundamental tension in B2B SaaS: balancing core product focus with user demand for extended capabilities. Developers face significant pain points in training specialized models for proprietary data, currently relying on complex external pipelines. The proposal for `ol...
