@Raaskot I know you can create something like this and more with the Repeater. As you can see in this thread, for example. https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/2295/repeater-halftone-problem-on-rasters/53 . . But anyway, here is a little Online Tool that also has something to offer. The result can be saved/downloaded as SVG. https://labs.adobe.com/experiments/hello-halftones/ Here yet a old Thread of mine about that Tool. https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/1089/tip-halftone-generator-bitmap-to-vector-graphics-svg/4

@Raven said in Pen tool behaviour when extending an open path: Is there a preference or modifier key that governs the behaviour? In the context panel, uncheck "Adjustments" Cannot seem to get the node being moved with the spacebar method to snap to the segments or nodes of the same path (if snapping is enabled). Yes, there seems to be an issue here, I opened a bug on this one.

@VectorStyler: I am using VS 1.1. I reckon it is in 1.2 Beta? Don't answer that: I found it! Thanks to @Subpath and @Boldline's screenshots!

@VectorStyler Thank you for the explanation. I suspected the precision might be related to internal calculations. I appreciate your time in confirming that is the case.

@Boldline said in Does VS have a scaling brush?: very excited to see what improvements with repeater that VS will offer! me too

And… there's no need for icons in the 'Save Style' dialog — a checkbox with a text label that says 'Global' (or anything descriptive) would work great, IMO.

@Pat I managed to replicate the preview issue in Windows 11. It seems that the Windows 10 preview solution does not work on Windows 11 file explorer. Not sure yet what causes this issue.

@oleGraf said in Delete Custom Created Presets Style in Image Trace Tool/Panel: Yes I am working with version 1.1.118 for Mac I will add the trace preset listing to 1.1 also.

Cool, thanks! [image: 1705730539545-9505f3f2-ab71-4ba6-b2fb-a267e60e881d-billede.png]

@VectorStyler Thank you! I don't know why I wasn't thinking of the combine operations for this. I appreciate the reminder!

@VectorStyler Thank you for changing to positive values. @VectorStyler said in Spacing between Objects: @Kumr said in Spacing between Objects: I noticed that the values to be in negative to get the spacing, it would help (for my mind) if it is other way around? I will change this.

@Raaskot Tab key for hiding panels should work in 1.2 beta

@Raaskot Yes, I found the error. it is in 1.1 only, 1.2 should be fine. I will provide a fix for this and others soon.

@b77 said in When copy paste a layer -- layer name is altered: need to use 'Copy' from the Edit menu That makes sense. Though still missing the layer structure transfer things work more as expected when using menu-copy. Yet I acknowledge fully your suggestion to @VectorStyler.

@Subpath Cool, thanks!

@Raaskot Meanwhile I managed to replicate the issue and found the root cause. The fix will be in the next build. The bug affects the strokes resulting in the blend object. The transform panel option @Li-Xiao was refering to can be found in the panel menu. Another way (workaround) to enable stroke scaling is to enable the Object -> Object Options -> Geometry -> Transformed Stroke on the group.

@Kumr I think this is normal. It magnifies the layer, so, when the layer is filled with objects, you can see the things that are in the layer.

@VectorStyler said in Couple of Palette Questions: Otherwise, it can be removed in the Styles -> Preset Manager. Ahh! that's where that is! Thank you, sir.

@VectorStyler It would be nice if you make the first click you will get an sort of pivot icon and if you click on the icon you can still drag it around (to correct your first click) and that this pivot icon can snap to guides, shapes etc.

Just to describe it more in detail: It began not updating the VS window, VS ellipse didn't scale big/small anymore for 1 second, next second: mouse cursor froze, after that the whole display stayed like this about 2 seconds, then BSOD with that message. This occurred two times in exactly this way, though, the second time without chrome opened in the background, just VS, since I had rebooted. So, VS seemed to trigger it, but I think the Intel drivers are ultimately not the best and could just be to blame. Also, I think the problem is super rare and you don't need to do anything about it. Thank you in any case
