Changelog

RefBoard 1.3.0

RefBoard 1.3.0 focuses on smoother Blender-style interaction, faster image intake, and better layout controls for reference boards.

Added

  • Added Ctrl+V image paste support directly in RefBoard.
  • Added support for pasting copied image files from the clipboard.
  • Added support for pasting direct bitmap image data from the clipboard, such as screenshots or copied image pixels.
  • Added automatic packing for direct clipboard bitmap images, so pasted screenshots are stored inside the .blend file instead of remaining linked to temporary files.
  • Added Blender-like numeric input for RefBoard image scaling:
    • S 2
    • S .5
    • S X 3
    • S 3 Y
  • Added X/Y axis constraints for RefBoard scaling.
  • Added active-node alignment controls:
    • image top
    • image middle
    • node bottom
    • image left
    • image center
    • image right

Changed

  • Axis-constrained scaling now moves selected nodes along the chosen axis without resizing the images themselves.
  • Shift-click selection now follows Blender-style behavior:
    • Shift-clicking a selected inactive image makes it active first.
    • A second Shift-click on the active selected image deselects it.
  • Moved Match Size controls to the top of the Arrange panel section.
  • Added icons to the Layout and Align controls for clearer scanning.

Fixed

  • Improved selection behavior to better match Blender’s active object selection flow.
