@Boldline said in Improving Brush Presets Panel: The brush shape selector in the contextual menu panel at the top seems to list all the brush presets - but it does not divide them up. The list could also potentially become very long the more brushes you add to the brush preset panel. Yes, this can be a problem. I will try to improve these panels.

@mspacemedia said in Repeaters Future Add-ons: to fill then have a best fit mode to calculate the space for each element? This feature is not yet implemented. And it probably will come only after 1.2 Bit it is possible to arrange multiple shapes, or symbols using random positioning.

@Boldline Added this to the backlog of features.

@VectorStyler said in Modifier option to manually edit/rotate the transform bounding box: But I do not want to create too much expectations, and I will improve the 1.1 in the meanwhile continuously. There is always some lessons to learn from recent events What? Come on now, I was expecting a vague but trendy hype video complete with added glitches and special effects and mysterious music with a closeup of @VectorStyler 's face to be released any day now! Seriously though, I'm as anxious as everyone here to begin testing out VS1.2 but I appreciate the honesty concerning the timetable and I'd rather skip the hype if there's nothing but fluff and no filler behind the smoke. As @Jayanta-Das mentioned, fixing existing bugs and improvement is more welcomed. I'm sure we all have a few specific bugs or functionality issues we've reported over the last few months that we'd rather see fixed as soon as possible over new features and the hype of a new big update. Speaking for myself, there are a few bugs/limitations that hamper my productivity and keep me from being able to use VS fully and without other vector software. Selfishly, I would prefer those get fixed more than any major update. lol. To his credit, @VectorStyler has been methodically fixing them. I use VS for almost everything I do that is vector related nowadays - which is a far cry from the limited use a year and a half ago. Thank you @VectorStyler, for building VS on a solid foundation and know that we're behind you 100%

@VectorStyler Yes make it so that it work with profile.

@VectorStyler said in Corner rounding algorithm: @Igull The problem in this example with the corner is the retracted handles. If the control point overlaps the node, then the corner at that node cannot be edited. I will try to fix this ASAP. Didn't we have an issue with something similar earlier this year - bounding box showing when editing using the shape editor ? Neil

@Boldline Interesting idea, added to the list of features for the future.

@VectorStyler said in Indicator of when parametric shape edit is flush with original edge: @Boldline Added this to the backlog, to have snapping. That would be terrific! thank you

@VectorStyler said in Drag font from font manager onto live type to convert to that font: @Boldline Added this to the backlog for future support. BTW: if you drag a font file (from Finder) onto a selected text in VS, it will use that font for the text, even when the font is not installed. I checked this not only on Finder, but also in Cocoatech's Pathfinder program that I use as a finder replacement and it worked there as well - I did notice I had to sometimes wait and let it hover over the text for a couple seconds before it converted.

@VectorStyler Yes! I "knew" that section was there, but I got into the habit of using the shortcut "control-b" and was not thinking of that expand blend already being there. I got used to most things I needed being in that same area and forgot the blend options were in another. I need to train my brain to look there. my fault - thank you!

@b77 said in Handtracing mode for pen tool (smooth nodes unless key pressed): As usual the algorithms Serif code suck compared to Adobes, though. Yep, each new segment looks a bit deflated in your AD video. Anyway, a Curvature tool in on the Roadmap, in Phase 3. I also suggested it be implemented sooner than that. Ah, yes, but I hope it will not be a 1:1 implementation of the one in Illustrator - a separate tool. Using many different tools for a job is a thing from the physical world, here (in sofware) we can merge a few tools into one single tool. The beauty of what I have in Affinity Designer - even though the algorithms are a bit sloppy - is that it kind of does it right while only creating smooth nodes ad libitum. Correcting them manually later is easy and fast and doesn't require me to switch tool, toggle any settings or hit any keys. This is key when working with very detailed designs and art. When you have to draw hundreds and hundreds of nodes speed is important - not precision.

@VectorStyler said in Can it be made more difficult to select clipped objects not in view?: @Boldline said in Can it be made more difficult to select clipped objects not in view?: I was thinking if the main selection - the transform tool itself would not I think the main transform tool is not be able to select into clipped groups. If it does so, then it is a bug. My fault - I was not thinking of it clearly - the transform tool does not select clipped/hidden individual items. So the transform tool is not relevant to this.

Yes please, enabled by default. It is a nightmare in Affinity Designer, that it is not.

@Ingolf said in Drop shadow offset: @VectorStyler BTW when I add a drop shadow effect the color is black but transparent in the image effect settings. If I click it the color is changed to white. Will fix this.

@Boldline Local Layering, I think it has been requested before. It is in the features backlog, but after 1.2

@VectorStyler Just noticed that also the layer thumbnail is updated when renaming some of its content, also not needed.

@Ingolf I have to see if this conflicts with some shortcuts of the node editor. Added this to the backlog.

@Boldline Added this to the backlog.

@b77 said in Align single object to the artboard without enabling the special button for that: Any drawbacks to this simple solution? Yes, that sounds like a plan Neil

@Jayanta-Das said in reposition new shapes or box drag selections with the space bar before committing to a press release: it seem there is some delay in the movement of the object Yes, this could happen while holding the space key, especially on Windows. I will try to improve it.
