I love using the Pattern Preview function for standard repeats. Is it possible to use this function for a half drop repeat?

I would love to see a half-drop pattern preview feature in Photoshop, too. Most of my artwork is hand-painted, and Illustrator is not ideal for this. I want to be able to manipulate my hand painted motifs and see how it'll look in half-drop repeat in real time. I heard there was a plugin in the works for this, and that it was abandoned? Is there any update on that?

In the meantime, users should consider using illustrator's pattern offset functions (that should be replicated in Ps) see: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/create-edit-patterns.html

So is it still possible to request this here? Is this an actual request form, or should I write somewhere else to propose it? 
It would be sooooo great and make my life much much easier! I cross my fingers it will happen soon. 
Thank you!

This feature would make my job so much quicker! I would love for it to be implemented for photoshop.

In the Illustrator they made the half-drop previews even better. Adobe, why are you not updating the half-drop previews in Photoshop???? We need it!

Yes, I would LOVE to have the half-drop feature. I usee the pattern tool so much in Photoshop and it also helps while making mockups. Adobe please ADD this! It's such an important feature that is missing.

I would also love this feature!! My understanding is that it's available in Illustrator, but for artists/ designers who work with raster-based art, it would be incredible to have it in PS. There are a lot of us 🙂
