• [x] Show path optimization preview / allow choices of faster / more accurate algorithms.
• [ ] New Mosaic which uses comic style shapes
• [x] Ability to export only geometries within a certain range / geometry culling.
• [ ] Add Import Resolution setting for Original drawing size determination
• [x] Save UI settings on exit (open/closed panels)
• [ ] Advanced UI Preferences (background colour, initial zoom, global units, etc.)
• [ ] Add Batch Processing option to export current drawing in multiple file formats
• [x] Pen Redistribution/Update option for Displayed Shapes slider

• [ ] Allow custom export resolution for Original Size drawings
• [x] Add US paper sizes to drop-down

Improvements

• [ ] #6
• [x] Faster/More efficient Path Optimization
• [x] Improve handling of progress / progress updates.
• [x] Add a way to monitor background processes.
• [ ] Improve handling of errors.
• [ ] Keep Geometry "Groups" - Grouped in SVG outputs to help further editing
• [x] Revamp options to make them give similar results on different sizes e.g. Point Count -> Point Density
• [x] Image colour sampling handling and stop it being the responsibility of the PFM
• [ ] Rework/Create a PFM API
• [ ] Allow luminance values when plotting to exceed 255??
• [ ] Bezier Curve Shader for OpenGL Renderer
• [x] Import/Export Preset Confirmation Dialogs
• [x] Allow importing of project drawing states when the original image is missing
• [x] Make projects their own objects i.e. ObservableProject - move all project related stuff into that, so it's clear to see project specific settings and program specific settings.
