  @Ingolf said in Grouped items with lowered opacity shows as 100% - should that be the case?: A good rule of thumb is that when there is no problem, there is no problem to solve. What one considers a problem, someone else may not. We see this often on the forum and a good debate helps find the best solutions. @Ingolf said in Grouped items with lowered opacity shows as 100% - should that be the case?: The value you see for the group shows what opacity the group has as a TOTAL entity, and that's information that's important. I can understand in a way, the idea of a group containing multiple opacities within for example, being referred to as "100% opacity". it can be a confusing concept and one that caused great difficulty in illustrator to be able to return them all to 100% or adjust them otherwise. new users especially, get confused by this concept. I'm not necessarily saying it has to change, but I would like to think of at least some way to make it clear to users what the group opacity is when the parts of the group may have different opacities within

  Tagging on because it made me wonder - is using the alt key to select below the same result as using one of these options?

  @Boldline I think there always should be a center node. Try dragging the handle from the center, even if the node is not showing. If you have a file where the center node is not showing, send it to me I will try to figure out what is going on.

  @VectorStyler as far as i know, Node inserting follows the direction of the black arrows (see Picture) if you inserting nodes by double click on a Node so the node my red arrow is pointing at should not insert a node at all, or am I wrong?

  @VectorStyler said in What causes this node handle behavior and how do I best utilize it?: Changing the node type (just after the selected handle) to Cusp should fix this issue. yes that worked - thank you. This reminds me a little of the feature you added a few months back that involved using the spacebar to change the properties of node behavior. Is that still within VS? If so, is it in the documentation?

  @VectorStyler Thanks. I'm glad it was a bug and not a reduction in Japanese language functionality. Please fix this as soon as possible. It seems it's been like that since ver 1.1.xx. I didn't notice it either, as I've been away from VS for a bit. I feel a little sad that there are not many Asian users.

  @FanVidder What I described is a pretty specialized area, so you won't find tutorials for it. Anyway, don't forget to: create artboards that match the UPM (in Glyphs it's 1000 by default, so make the artboards 1000pt tall); drag guidelines at least for the baseline (default is at 200pt) and for the ascent line (default is at 900pt). Btw, there are a few VectorStyler instructional videos here: https://vimeo.com/user95036806

  @Boldline said in Strange behavior of multiple lines of Shape Text: what if selecting multiple lines of text allowed for adjusting several lines at the same time? Almost exists, does not work well for open path baselines. Will be fixed in the next build. The feature is to select "Expand Path" in the Multiline drop down (Lines tab) of the text on path options.

  @vectoradmin said in Scaling image effects.: Should it be inherited by member objects in a group? from my point of view yes. It would save me a lot of clicking . But that's just my opinion.

  @b77 said in Why these arrows: @Ingolf It looks like 'Selection Outline Node' is set to 'Large Triangle' in Preferences > Indicator Shapes. The default is 'Small Rectangle'. You are right, thanks!

  @Boldline I said “not that practical”. But you’re right, I might be missing some cool possibility. If you find some cool use for it, please record a short video, I’m interested.
