@VectorStyler said in Navigator - reducing Preset Menu calling: @Subpath Not sure if this can be done with a simple regular menu. Preset editing can be easier in the Preset Manager view, these edit/remove things in menus are added for convenience. I am open for other ideas and will look around in other apps if i find some inspiration But using the Preset Manager for something like this looks a bit like an overkill in my eyes. Btw but the "Viewing Zone Panel" should show the Preset i selected previously.

@VectorStyler Thank you, i am not in a hurry with that so take your time will also try to catch a few cases and make a video of it and publish it here

@VectorStyler If you do add this, please allow us to auto slot what we are looking at with a key press so that it reserves to that shortcut. If a saved view is already active, then it could reassign to that shortcut automatically, somehow? That way it becomes a part of the normal workflow and not just "a setting". Think emulators and save states, basically.

@VectorStyler Burin released a demo version yesterday. I tested it and found it much more user-friendly than StrokesMaker. However, in terms of cost-effectiveness, it is not as good as StrokesMaker. There are some new videos available on their website that you can refer to. https://pixeology.com/Burin/install.html

@debraspicher your welcome In case you don't know: If you use one of these pickers (doesn't work with the color picker second from the left) and hold down the CTRL key, you can temporarily switch to the Transform tool to be able to select a different shape

@VectorStyler Thank you!

@VectorStyler said in Layer color swatch color for initial startup and new document: all other apps have the default to black Not true, my cs6ai gives a blue coincidentally. And on the other hand you argue: 'VS is different'.

@Boldline said in Is there a way to auto-set spacing when creating a radial repeat so it spaces perfectly?: When using the rotate tool to create a radial repeat, I was wondering if there was a way to set it to set the repeat to end perfectly? No option for this, but you can type into angle a 360 / 24 (or any value from the repeat field).

@Boldline Not sure about this. In all other cases, this icon is about proportional sizing (or scaling).

@Boldline I think it is not that useful, as you can get the same modal view if you activate the tool and then click (not drag) on the canvas. Also, the shape panel can be used to adjust properties of the shape after drawing.

@William-Kansepa I added this to the backlog.

How it looks on Windows: [image: 1718925212449-d566bf65-2e14-4ba9-b9b6-afbe8d0ea45b-image.png] I appreciate there is some variance between the icons now. It makes the Layers panel feel more harmonious and complete.

@Boldline I added this to the backlog.

@William-Kansepa I keep this issue open.

@VectorStyler Fixed. Thanks

@VectorStyler Works great! Thank you for this quick addition.

I would also very much like to +1 this, if this still isn't feasible, the ability to create global swatches by default. It's absolutely critical to the design of the information and organization of a file. Especially for anything productive. Found this thread because I'm trying to make a set of globals from a document and finding that I have to select each and "set Global mode" manually, which is painful. Checking the unofficial PDF manual, I didn't see an easier method than this, sadly.

@VectorStyler This behavior of yours should take into account the users who use it for the first time. For long-term users, it will feel a bit redundant. I hope it can disappear in the future.

@Boldline The problem here is the lack of modifier keys for this feature. The Pen tool already uses all modifier keys.
