  @VectorStyler said in Pen tool - fill shapes usability: @Ingolf said in Pen tool - fill shapes usability: I will try to find a solution for this. The context panel is a bit loaded for the pencil tool (npt much room left). This setting also applies to the pen tool, which is what I use the most and mentioned above, but in the settings, it says pencil tool, so it's extra difficult to guess what the setting covers. Yes, there's a lot going on in the interface, but perhaps you should consider using text labels less; they take up a lot of space and, of course, are easier to understand, but visually, they take up the equivalent of 4-5 small icons, and I think they create a cluttered interface. But anyway, I referred to the setting in the pen tool, but I would say the issue also applies to the use of the pencil tool. Cheers

  @Li-Xiao Thanks for your offer. Since I'm not in a hurry, it won't be a problem for me if you find the time sometime later to do a little tutorial in the tutorial section on how to create such designs in the repeater. Until then, I will continue to follow this thread with interest and welcome your ideas for improving and expanding the repeater.

  In any case, I find the color coding too wide, Illustrator has very nice narrow stripes.

  @Boldline said in Saving indicator color: I'm not saying it needs to stay purple, but I do like that it's a subtle change that does not distract from my work, yet it is noticeable as it changes. Maybe if it went to orange then red? Purple is a very difficult color: In the dark UI you notice it too late and when you notice it, it disturbs your design colours no matter what color. Orange and red are too similar. The classic sigal colors are green, yellow, red. Maybe a slightly muted yellow, like R255/G255/B150 or just red?

  @fde101 said in Option to save imported file directly to same folder and same file format: What it is actually doing is importing the PSD but remembering where it came from and what it is, and when you "save" the document, it replaces the original PSD with a newly exported copy instead Yes, but it will lead to loss of information. I will find a solution for this.

  Thanks all. I think these arrow-buttons are more obvious and intuitive and I agree that it's best to keep UI consistent. Nice to see this added, because this is one of those hidden features that are easy to forget, let alone for newcomers.

  @encart said in Please search keyboard shortcuts on name instead of shortcut: Perhaps when the shortcut configuration window is opened, icons should be visible next to the labels from the beginning to indicate that sorting is possible I added this to the backlog

  @Harry The original randomization request was about creating "grunge" shapes. This is still an open task in the feature backlog. But we can do other customization (not yet random) now with number variables. If the brush content uses some number variable, that can be changed in the Values panel or in the Overrides panel.

  @DEBRASPICHER Let me reiterate my thoughts. First of all, I have a wording error, which I would like to correct. What I meant by "tip" is correctly "button". What I need is a shortcut to [ remove color button ] or its menu command. Arrangement of buttons Function of buttons These are as they are now. The reason these three buttons are different from Adobe products is that the developers have not yet reached a conclusion. For example, there are unresolved issues such as what kind of typicality should be derived for gradients. This is that of Adobe products. This layout has been maintained for more than 30 years now. Some people may never have used it. It may need to be revisited to see if it works for many people. As for the gradient button, this button might have been effective in the 1990s when this feature was still rare. Today, however, gradients can be created in other UIs. Whether or not to use these buttons depends on the position of the creator and the nature of the work. Those who are called DTP operators may use them more often than those who are creative artists. This is the case when working in a situation where instructions and materials are given. In these tasks, they often work while checking the fill and stroke of an object. I habitually use remove color & undo a lot. In the days when there was no layer function, I used it frequently to remove the full view to see the background. @BOLDLINE I guess you could say this is my habit. When I start working with the pen tool, I first set fill to no fill and stroke to black. This could be preset, but for various reasons, I try not to create many presets. After that, when I do some other work and pick up the pen tool again, I start writing with no fill. I have written about gradients before.

  With all of the capabilities the VS has, it would be great to have direct project export to html / css. VS could be great alternative to Figma.
