  @Boldline It's in the name of the tool — Copy Style. Simple click with it copies the fill(s), stroke(s) AND the image effects of another object. Shift-click picks only the fills and strokes from vector objects and color from bitmaps.

  Ok.. Do what works best. I'm not a programmer. I guess what I was seeing was that the initial pieces used to make the blend were left behind after the blend was made. But I'm not saying I'm right or what I'm suggesting is best

  @vectoradmin Thank you for explaining! This makes more sense. I had seen the combine option in the boolean operations panel but my Illustrator brain was not computing that - I get it now

  @vectoradmin When you add it, it could probably go in the same place the path simplifer is now - or it could be a built in part of the path simplifier and make it a toggle or option as to how it gets used. Just my thoughts

  @vectoradmin I also like the tool for rotating and getting back to the initial angle located at the bottom left of the app. Just really 'noticed" it That is helpful as well. Easy access and location

  @b77 thanks - sometimes it's hard to know where to look in the preferences. "changing options" wasn't clear enough to me to know to go there. Not that I have a better name idea lol. thanks again

  Great! This would offer a solution the times users want to make use of the pressure option and still expand and divide those pressure based strokes. Thank you!

  @Boldline Thanks a lot! Things are progressing normally. I decided to postpone this weeks (Mondays) release to have some much needed features added. But the release should be out later this week, or latest on Monday

  @Boldline Leading will not help in a single line text. Kerning will only work, if there are kerning metrics defined in the font, and those are then scaled up/down. To uniformly adjust distance between character, you need to use Tracking, that is set in the field with the Ta icon (just under the kerning label).

  @vectoradmin and @Boldline As I said, I would like box selection to work also for multiple handles, but it would be a problem if 'Select Nodes from All Objects' is not disabled in Prefs > Editing Options. What would be an elegant solution? /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ EDIT: What if the app would restrict the nodes and handles that can be selected to the selected object(s) by default, and only if nothing is selected allow the selection of nodes & handles from all objects? This as the default selection rule when in node editing mode would make more sense to me at least, solve the problem above and generally simplify things (probably make the 'Select Nodes from All Objects' prefs setting redundant).

  @Boldline It depends of course on what is ungrouped, but it should not freeze up the machine or take too much time. I add this to the backlog.

  @Boldline The problem with brushes is that the content of the brush cannot be cut. Cutting and merging the width profile can be done (added this to the backlog), but the brush content from one of the shapes will be stretched out on the resulting shape if the Merge option in the context panel is checked.

  @vectoradmin I can also duplicate the item with Duplicate and make changes and adjustments. It's not cool. Could you please re-examine? By the way, I mainly make the Styles palette resident and control Style. I don't use Character or Document Styles much.
