Feature: Move drawings

[nomike]

It would be nice to have four directional buttons on the drawing screen, which allow you to move the drawing by one pixel in each direction.

It may also be nice to have pixels being shifted out on one end to roll over to the other, but that would need to be tried out.

Hi @nomike

I’d like to work on this issue if it’s okay.

My understanding of the feature:

• Add directional controls (up / down / left / right) in draw mode
• Each control shifts the entire drawing by 1 pixel in the chosen direction
• This applies to the 11×44 LED grid representation

Before starting implementation, I had a couple of clarification questions:

1. Should the move operation affect the whole drawing bitmap at once, or is it expected to be layer-based (if applicable)?
2. For the initial version, should pixels shifted out of bounds be discarded, or is wrap-around behavior desired?

Once confirmed, I’ll proceed accordingly.
Thanks!

Hi @Rathore-tech-code !

That sounds great.

I would say stuff should wrap around. It's easier to erase a row of pixels than to manually move it from one end to the other.

Regarding the layering:
I don't know how the application works internally, but at least in the UI it doesn't look like there are layers.

Thank you for picking that up 🥰!

Hi @nomike 👋
I’ve opened a PR that adds directional movement support for the drawing grid.

PR link: #1562

This PR focuses on the core movement logic (left/right/up/down).
UI integration can be added in a follow-up PR if needed.

Looking forward to your feedback!

Hi @nomike

Is this issue still open?

I noticed that PR #1562 implements only the core grid movement logic. I would like to work on the remaining part — adding the four directional UI buttons(up / down / left / right) to the Draw screen and connecting them to the existing logic.
I have set up the project locally and can start working immediately.

Could you please assign this issue to me?

Thanks!

Side note: This is especially useful for badges saved with #1557 , which was possible in stable version but now require #1595 in the beta versIon.

• Bug: Two additional columns of padding on the left when using Fixed animation #1557
• Bring back the ability to edit Saved Badges badges as cliparts as additional option or fallback when the saved badge is not saved with texts and existing cliparts #1595
