  @VectorStyler said in How to disable that preview?: @plrang said in How to disable that preview?: @VectorStyler Could you tell us is ASAP also in Autumn or maybe you plan an earlier update? Yes, there will be update before. There will be a bug fixes release of 1.1 by the 18th of this month, that should include all reported bugs (unless some major work is needed for some). Also, while 1.2 is being developed, that will be bug fixes releases of 1.1 every 3-4 weeks (slower than the regular 1-2 week cycle). Thank you for clarifying on this. We all know you're focused on the new updates for version 1.2, so I'm glad to know the bug fixes are priority even during this time. It's also nice to know the approximate schedule for the next bug fix build. You've had us spoiled with the weekly updates for so long! I am looking forward to the next build release that squashes more issues and even more excited to see what the major updates in 1.2 will be like in a couple months

  @VectorStyler Thank you, I wanted to describe the problem and was trying to create a simple graphics for it in VS, but it won't let me do it. I have to wait for an update.

  Could Tab by default instead of Spacebar be a better alternative for this? As long as it can be changed to your own choice in Preferences, it really doesn't matter what the default is. Sure, but easy-to-figure-out defaults matter for beginners, that's what we are discussing in this thread after all (most everybody was a bit surprised that the Spacebar is used for this). Anyway, maybe Tab is not intuitive either. Please ignore.

  @Devil-Dinosaur said in Path Brush Tool preview: Is there any settings or preference to change it ? No such option for now. This would be a bit of a problem. Currently, the brush paint is approximated using a path (curves) in the same way as the freehand tool does. Only after this step the variable widths are calculated (using the pressures). But the path approximation can be done only after the whole paint has completed. On the other hand, this allows the use of various stabilizer features (selectable from the context panel Stabilize field).

  @Igull Thanks, absolutely a time saver, but would be great it could be as simpe as in Blender. ? - search for a command - RMB - FAV - DONE. Menu ready. No need for any fancy dialogs.

  @VectorStyler Don't forget the main issue, where I scale the text UP and the whole paragraph is moving down, even if it's top could still fit the shape.

  @Boldline Can be replicated here. The difficulty with this case is that offsetting open paths is still problematic. One option would be to automatically close when creating the offset, if the two ends are overlapping. But that would mean a slightly different result than an open offset. I added this to the backlog. Would auto-closing be acceptable?

  @Boldline It seems to be working here (could test on an Intel Macbook Pro for now), if I select parts or all the halftone vectors, duplicating works without slowing down. If you have time to make a recording, I might be able to find the issue.

  @Boldline said in Pros and Cons to using Shapes not paths for text on a path: are there other pros and cons to using shapes instead of official paths for text on a path? Not really, other than the "live" shape remains editable using its options. What were the problems when scaling the circle?

  @Boldline Check if this happens with other apps. When using Mac Mini M1 (first edition), I do get issues with the BT mouse, and this was reported as a known problem in those machines.

  @Igull your welcome Nice to hear that is useful. At some point, it has become a routine for me to search for web apps when I need a certain function. It's amazing what can be done with it today. ...hopefully at some point VS will be able to do that... You could put it as a feature request in the Ideas and Features section in this forum

  @b77 said in "Erase" like blend mode?: It is easy to implement for two overlapping shapes, I'm sure. Not so sure if multiple overlapping shapes with different fill types and blend modes are involved… Yes, I've been thinking the same thing.

  @Torakikiii said in Black in CMYK profile is not black: make sure that display and output of rich blacks are optionals Will do so.
