@Boldline I have 5 drives installed and most are "fat drives" so a good storage solution for general media storage and backups. An external would be fine also. I record to one of the drives as I work to a folder set for OBS recordings and I delete older recordings overtime just for clean up. I'm recording 1080p/4K at 60fps depending on the situation in OBS and then I run something like Key n' Stroke for showing onscreen keys/clicks. I drag and drop the video files into Handbrake afterwards so I'm not sharing massive files. It does a great job of keeping the files slim and then I upload them to Onedrive where I have a folder separating different reports and sample files. Both OBS and Handbrake are open source and free to use. OBS runs very well along with everything else and is a solution many use and many other "paid" solutions are variations of OBS: https://obsproject.com/download https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php In OBS it is now possible to set to record to "Hybrid .mp4" which is critical because if there is a crash, etc, then the video file will still be readable. Many other formats will require a stopped recording to finalize, so keep that in mind. However it is recorded is less important if you're running it through Handbrake anyway which will reformat it into whatever settings are chosen. I have a dynamic condenser mic which I have tuned but a vast majority of that is for personal recordings rather than for streaming... I recommend if you get a "good mic", setup filters so that it's not picking up everything in your vicinity. It does not need need to be hundreds of dollars. Mine is a $70-80 Mackie with the proper software filtering to block out all the noise in my local environment. If you have an Nvidia GPU, do take advantage of that also and use their filters which are pretty darn great... [image: 1779470006260-424dba43-177c-47c9-a8b1-cf5747962f6c-image.png] This is a good introductory to setting up OBS mic filters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcLUJ3bR4Yk Here are my OBS "Recording" settings: [image: 1779470240096-27fe3f6a-ba97-497c-a1cf-bd8376e7f58b-image.png] [image: 1779470261250-93e78c73-6c57-4198-88d9-8b76f9856514-image.png] Handbrake is fairly straightforward to adjust. Most people use mp4. The only thing I changed is I set it to "compress" my files locally and keep them in the same folder with a suffix: [image: 1779470372728-0c25488f-8635-4f64-9a5e-2e0d9df3d0ed-image.png] Preferences > Output Files [image: 1779470405026-f8f70fee-543a-4c7a-bd59-83490e4385b7-image.png] If you need anything more than that, just PM... I'm also in the VS Discord Edit: Actually it's a condenser mic. I got it mixed up with husband's music setup...

@VectorStyler said in Temporarily disable snapping: @William-Kansepa on Windows should be the Control key, but you must press it after the moving started @VectorStyler Thank you so much! It's working as expected.

@VectorStyler Cool. What I looked for. Thanks

@Raaskot It seems to be a bug. workaround: turn on the "Path" object "Isolated" option in object options

@ZATOPEK That is used for images only. You can use shape Intersection for this

@VectorStyler Thanks! just emailed you the file

@Raaskot Can you send me the workspace and settings files to my email address. Something is different here.

@macos Are you on Windows or Mac? If Windows, he means the scaling options in Settings/System > Display, not inside the application.

@macos Indicator styles are customizable in Settings -> Indicator Styles In the Snapping panel menu -> Snapping Options, enable the "Show Distances" (second column, top) to show distances when the Snap to Object is enabled.

@macos I opened a bug on this and will try to fix it. Is the object in Affinity selected?

How can I make clones of only the original object not the created object? Duplicate the clone

@macos The vertical text issue is identified, and the fix will be in the next build. The issue is with the new text engine. If you set the "Text Shaper" option in Paragraph Styles to "OpenType" and then in Character Options enable the "Automatic Vertical Roman" then it should work. BTW: you need to set the "Enable East-Asian Options" in Settings

@Subpath said in How to quickly copy halftone appearance to new shape?: i think the methode vectorstyler mentioned "save as preset works" best I agree that is currently the best option for getting what I was requesting. I think it's also a great solution long term if you know you're going to use it frequently or in other projects down the road. However, I also think @vectorstyler is right to add the basic copy/paste option for quick and easy one-time editing. Both options will have their due place in VS

Thanks it's work fine

I get the same issue with Affinity designer 2.0 and Affinity Studio When looking in clipboard at the svg of a rectangle copied from Affinity, then pasted in VS and copied to clipboard from VS, I can see a difference : Copied from Affinity : 992x525: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg width="992px" height="595px" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:space="preserve" xmlns:serif="http://www.serif.com/" style="fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;stroke-linejoin:round;stroke-miterlimit:2;"> <g transform="matrix(1,0,0,1,-384,-378)"> <g transform="matrix(1,0,0,1,-1176,-147)"> <rect x="1560" y="525" width="992" height="595" style="fill:rgb(235,235,235);"/> </g> </g> </svg> Copied from VS : 238x143 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> <svg width="239" height="143" viewBox="0 0 239 143" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:space="preserve" xml:name="Untitled-1"> <defs/> <g transform="matrix(1.0 0.0 -0.0 -1.0 0.0 142.8) "> <path d="M396.1966 18.5092 L396.1966 161.3092 634.2766 161.3092 634.2766 18.5092 396.1966 18.5092 Z" transform="matrix(1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 -396.19663361 -18.50924665) " fill="#EBEBEB" fill-rule="evenodd"/> </g> </svg>

@ZATOPEK For making the nodes smooth (or symmetric) there is (shown in the tooltip of the action from the context panel). But for just brining out the handles and moving outwards, no shortcut (and no such feature)

merci beaucoup

@macos There an option in Settings -> Other Options: "Paste with Artboard Position" If enabled, it should keep the Artboard relative position
