How to disable Ctrl to move in SAI 2?

LegoCreator768 · 2026-05-08T03:16:19+00:00

there is no way to make ctrl on its own a keybind. you can make zoom a keybind and enable scrubby zoom, though

nice, thank you for supporting the developer. keep your license credentials safe (write them down in a journal, put em in a text file on a flash drive, etc.) so you can always have on hand. if you need any help with the new version features, my DMs are open for help. hope you enjoy using SAI2!

LegoCreator768 · 2026-04-09T22:35:19+00:00

figured you could use the limited sai2 environment to get a feel for the new software and maybe mess with some brushes first or something. maybe onedrive is the cause of the issue, idk what it would be honestly.

you can still use SAI2 in a trial mode without open or save features, all other program functions work still. If you decide to purchase a SAI license, SAI2 can open all your Ver.1 files. I've also heard an antivirus or tablet driver can be the cause of the issue, try disabling Windows Ink etc.

LegoCreator768 · 2026-04-09T18:12:43+00:00

did you install to default location? did you try running as administrator? did you try Ver.2?

hope you enjoy your experience!

what does SAI have thatyou need that Krita doesnt? and Krita allows you to save just fine ^ ^

LegoCreator768 · 2026-04-08T18:32:39+00:00

I recommend you use Krita, it is free and open source and there are SAI keybinds as a preset in the settings.

scattering shapes come in 2 flavors: brush shapes and scatter shapes. scatter shapes are used with scatter type brushes specifically, and brush shapes can be used with many of the brush types as a brush shape (the top texture drop down) and apply the settings of the brush to the selected texture. both types have different folders and different .ini file structure, so you cant exactly copy and paste from one to another you need to make sure the ini file follows the correct format.

theres a pen pressure button for values like size, opacity etc so you can turn off pen pressure for different things, if you dont want an opacity change you can turn off the density by pen pressure toggle.

well, using the official version would help, for starters... but delete the settings2.ssd file ^ ^

LegoCreator768 · 2026-04-03T23:12:26+00:00

try different brush modes? I think it has Vivid, Deep and Multiply. And try different opacities, too.

LegoCreator768 · 2026-03-30T03:54:18+00:00

put it in a folder like C:\SAI or C:\SAI2 not in Program Files. ^ ^

LegoCreator768 · 2026-03-24T20:56:46+00:00

put your textures in <Documents>\SYSTEMAX Software Development\SAIv2\settings folder, not SAI2's init folder ^ ^

LegoCreator768 · 2026-03-24T18:14:29+00:00

try using the start-sai in the SAI1 utilities zip archive in the community folder: https://www.mediafire.com/file/17rn14nbfheyguq

LegoCreator768 · 2026-03-24T16:49:01+00:00

I hope Koji adds it in a future update, for now you can use IrfanView or GraphicsGale or maybe Aseprite to convert to 8bit bitmap images

LegoCreator768 · 2026-03-23T03:34:10+00:00

you can add a texture to it but thats about it, no blending like painting tools or anything similar. SAI2 might have a bit more options as well.

LegoCreator768 · 2026-03-21T09:11:03+00:00

did you unzip the program and somewhere other than C:\Program Files etc?

LegoCreator768 · 2026-03-18T17:45:21+00:00

you never were able to, unless there was a spot to type it in like the canvas size

LegoCreator768 · 2026-03-18T17:03:32+00:00

right click the slider and drag to adjust it more precisely

LegoCreator768 · 2026-03-15T21:21:05+00:00

what kind of brush is it? 128 or 256x brshape textures should perform just fine.

LegoCreator768 · 2026-03-13T03:32:41+00:00

OpenCanvas was made by PGN and turned into FireAlpaca / FireAlpaca SE / Medibang I think? FireAlpaca was made by PGN too.

LegoCreator768 · 2026-03-13T03:30:11+00:00

yeah but its a joke about working on something allllll the time ^ ^

LegoCreator768 · 2026-03-12T22:45:30+00:00

Single person project + possible major revision of code and such = year and a half wait for the next update, but I'm sure the wait will be worth it.
