Instructions

• MaKe-stitch.py GUI - for making .pmv stitch files (or other ones, but there aren't any other ones).
  • 
  • See tutorial video: https://youtu.be/HCiFgb9-JHQ
  • Left Double-Click inserts a stitch.
  • Middle Double-Click inserts a stitch. Note: Since Left Click selects a node, double clicking a node selects then inserts at that exact location which duplicates the node. Using middle click means it will allow double-backing on nodes without selecting them.
  • Right Double-Click inserts a triple stitch.
  • Left Click selects nodes.
  • Right-click: on nodes, opens popup menu (delete, duplicate).
  • Drag-and-Move selected nodes to new locations.
  • (In Windows) Drag-and-drop files to open them (other OS's when wxPython supports with the bind I used).
  • Keyboard Commands:
    • Delete button deletes selected node.
    • Right Arrow or 'd' moves to the next node in the list.
    • Left Arrow or 'a' moves to the next node in the list. ('a' & 'd' are WASD keys).
