  @monsterfox said in VectorStyler roadmap: @VectorStyler These plans probably in how much time can be completed? Cannot make a commitment on that, but it is in years (up to version 2).

  Here's how the panel would look like for complex FX. Notice that you have the option to show masks and hide FX too. You should also be able to simply scroll to zoom in and out the contents of the properties as well as resize the properties section individually, apart from the size of the panel itself. This is what the hatches in the corner are for. The dropdown in the right hand side corner allows you to change the FX at the chosen level. For instance, I may create a curves adjustment, and decide I actually want Unsharp Mask, for instance. I don't need to delete it. Simply change it. Finally the reveal arrows should let me close the enlarged view without losing access to blend mode and opacity. The details can be tinkered with. The idea is solid. I replicated elements from PL to show that even the most complex FX can fit in. Anyway, that's everything from me for the time being. I genuinely think this will make navigation in VS so much easier.

  @lilith said in adding animation features: Will you consider adding animation features in the future, such as Synfig Studio Maybe in a spin-off app. The current VS is already very complex, and there is a lot that will be added.

  @VectorStyler said in Could context bar show color and stroke and fill information for the pen tool when the pen tool is selected?: I can add this to the next build. That would be nice because there is something to be said for BL's idea if you make the analogy with the real world. After all, you first take the pencil of the right color before you start drawing.

  Further to our conversation on email, I agree with you @VectorStyler: the pen tool has actually made giant leaps over both Illy and Affinity Designer. Just a note. No need for response.

  @Boldline said in User defined Color for Shape Builder: @Subpath I understand what you are suggesting. It would make sense to me if the setting is where you were suggesting it be - in the shape builder panel and not in the overall setting since it seems pretty busy there I agree, the Shape Builder panel would be the most logical place for me too for such a setting

  No rush. Take your time. I'd rather you implement it correctly than rush out something that is broken and buggy. We already have affinity for that. By the way, this has been a pending request to Affinity since, wait for it, 2015. That's ten years. Hopefully you don't need a decade.

  Still my go to program for layout work. Eats Publisher and InDesign for breakfast in terms of speed. The only VECTOR program with multi page table that's not InDesign or Quark Express.

  @Boldline The extending part of the tool can only work for open shapes, so you have to open the path first (with the Node tool).

  @debraspicher said in "Hide Bleed" Option and exporting Bleeds through PNG, JPG, etc: The ability to add Crop, Registration marks, etc to an exported image would also very greatly appreciated. I have to add them back in by printing in another program (like Affinity) that supports them. I will try to add this for 1.3

  Look-up Xara, which has had this for many years, and is highly useful. Inkscape/Corel took much of it's UI-UX from Xara. Xara was on the verge of going Open Source. At least for Linux. Until it reneged. Double-clicking the transform origin point converts circle to square, or rectangle to ellipse, and vice versa. Double-clicking the corner node (Xara has additional corner nodes within the bounding box for all objects) transforms the shape into hexagon. And you can use the dedicated polygon tool to change this in any way. It is highly efficient. I'm going to catalogue all the possible improvements over the next few months and post in the forum. Hopefully, @VectorStyler, you'll find some ideas you've not considered.

  @VectorStyler I know I can customize the right-click menu, but my post was about a standard solution, not a custom one.
