Yes, in this week’s report we have a lot of technical items, so I have left most of them “as is” ^\_\_^. Here’s the result:
Weekly Report (September 20 - 26)
Greetings to all Synfig users! Here’s the code changes we have for this week:
- [GUI] Improve hints for Dash item parameters ([#2314](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/2314)).
- [GUI] Don’t let inner layer be duplicated twice when copying ([#2317](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/2317)) [studio]
- [GUI] Fix dialog responses when user pressing Esc key ([#2309](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/2309)).
- [Linux package] Fixed issue with “magick++” target not available in AppImage ([#2324](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/2324), [#2326](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/pull/2326)). The “magick++” target is useful for exporting animation into “gif” format, as it results in smaller file size and better quality than other targets.
- [Code cleanup] Made shared\_objects non-copyable ([#2291](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/2291)).
- [Code cleanup] Minor cleanup in CreateChildBone action ([#2315](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/2315)).
- [Code cleanup] SVG importer: Refactor style parser part ([#2303](https://github.com/synfig/synfig/issues/2303)).
That’s all for today! Thanks to everyone who helps to make Synfig better!

Lately there has been a great amount of high quality animations posted on this forum.
I would suggest to keep adding to the weekly reports those great works that communicate to “non technical” people the potential of Synfig (even pick older ones if new ones are not available).

Thank you @Khemardi! Actually your animation brought me idea that it would be nice to create a set of templates with animated text. The text string can be exported value, so user will be able to easily set any text and get impressive animation. Very useful for motion graphics!
With recent PR from @rodolforg the rendering speed is not a problem for text anymore 🙂 -
