New: A better way to manage your pattern collections

Wouter Walmink -

Sure, it's easy to make lots of gorgeous patterns in Repper, but how do you keep your work organized? You can create individual collections, but they can be hard to get an overview of, and so far there was no way to reorder your designs within and between collections.

If this sounds familiar, you will love our next big update! As always, this update is instantly available and for free to all our members.

Here's my quick explainer of the new features. Sit back and learn in just 3 minutes, or read below if you don't like videos :)

A new place for view collections

Have a look at the sidebar and you'll find a new button: a 4-square icon. This button will take you to a window-wide overview of your current collection. It includes large previews and the option to add notes or tags to your collection.

When some reordering is in order

It's not just a gorgeous overview of your collection. In the collection view you can easily re-order your snapshots. Now it's super easy to move your favorites to the top or group similar patterns together.

And much more, including...

Add descriptions and tags to collections

Keep useful information with the collection and classify your work. This is especially powerful with the new search option for collections.

Edit your title, description and tags

Different views to meet your needs

You can view your collection:

  • As big thumbnails: Great to see you designs in their full glory, so you can review and sort out the best ones.
  • As small thumbnails: See many designs at once, handy for getting a good overview and re-ordering your collection
  • As a list: Get more info on your designs like the tiling name and the max tile size.
View collection as large thumbnails, small thumbnails, or list view

Move designs to other (or new) collections

Sometimes you want to split a large collection in two or create a selection of your favorite designs across collections. With the option to move (or copy) designs to another (or new) collection, you now have full freedom to move structure your work as you wish.

Move designs easily from one collection to another

Search for collections

You can now search in the All Collections list, super handy if you start to build a large collection of... collections 😊. It searches for titles, descriptions and tags, so there are lots of ways to find your collections again.

Find your collections by title, description, and tags
