Collections
Collation of ideas I may or may not have posted already to do with collections.
1. Fixed size background image.
At the moment a background image will only show in the area of the stamped items. and will not show the full image unless the area of stamps is big enough This makes it difficult to add an image to use as dividers unless you have a stamped object at the corners on the maximum area (with accompanying very small stamps). Would be better to be able to add a background image that fills the screen and is not related at all to the stamping area.
2. Ability to select multiple stamps and add them to another collection.
I often want to move multiple Dreams from one collection to another. At the moment you have to do that one at a time - and this can get very time consuming. It would be good to be able to select multiple stamps and select a collection to copy them to.
3. Coloured backgrounds. At the moment the only option for a change of background colour is to add an image. It would be good if the default background image had various colour filter options to it with no background image required.
4. Countdown of elements allowed in the collection.
There should be a countdown number so you can tell how many more elements you can add to a collection before it is full. At the moment you only know it is full when you try to add something more. You have no warning that the collection is near capacity. It is particularly hard to judge when you have added scribbles and text which add to the count, so the amount of stamped Dreams is not the only indicator.
5. Removal of the text description from top of collection
It is very annoying to find that your description text and title is covering stamps or text within the collection, and if forces you to leave large gaps in the top left when making a collection. Either remove the description from the page itself or give us a toggle option so it doesnt show if you dont want.
6. Thumbnail image.
The default is the first 3 items put in the collection. It might be nice to also have the option of adding a bespoke thumbnail like we can for Dreams. This is especially useful for kits.
7. Indication of views
There are no stats for curators to let them know how many Dreamers have looked at their collections. A count of how many times the collection had been opened would be useful.
8. Collection Types
Would be useful to have collection types such as Asset Kit, Favourites, Theme

1. Yeah personally I wish the image would just stay put instead of moving every time you do anything. Makes it very hard to arrange things nicely around the image because it keeps moving. Maybe more options relating to this: adjusting, full screen (non-scrolling), fixed size...
X. I could imagine grade filters and effects on the background--allowing for simple solid colours, but also the effects we have in scenes. How cool would that be!
4. Ouch... yes, a "thermo" for collections would be very useful to avoid finding these problems right at the end.
5. Oh man those huge text descriptions are really no use to anybody and are super annoying at times. In some cases it's hard to even see what's in the collection because it's covering so much of it. I could maybe forgive it if it was just the title, and the description pops up while hovering the title or something? But some options for the creator would be the best approach.
6. Currently we can choose whichever creations in the collection we like for it to use as those 3 it shows as the thumbnail. But a simple "set this image as the thumbnail of the collection" would be good. Better for "branding" it or whatever.
Agreed on the others 👍

Great ideas. A few more:
1) Remove the weird limitation where we can only zoom out as far as have we have collection contents. Make it feel more like an infinite canvas.
2) Allow us to copy/paste.
3) Allow us to group strokes and then copy/move them.
4) Provide some more "drawing tools" for making marks in a collection. Line, circle, rect, etc (same could be said for the stroke tool)
5) Add some form of grid/snapping so its easier to position elements in a collection.
