  @Boldline Added this to the backlog. The Contour tool (and panel) does something like this, and it is a "live" effect.

  @VectorStyler said in Allow "Document Setup" edits to affect only current document: @Boldline Currently the changes made in the document setup are kept for the next one. Should this be an option, or disabled? I would consider having the option in the document setup as a check box but leave it off by default. So you can feel free to alter the options and not have it affect the next new file if you don't want it to

  @Boldline I will find a way to do this, for the options that can be selected at setup. @b77 if multiple local artboards are created, those will not be copied.

  @William-Kansepa In the rasterization phase, there is no JPEG format involved (unless a jpeg file was imported into the document). can you send me an example of what was rasterized?

  @Ayo said in Some recommendations for the default (factory) settings: So therefore a few non-binding recommendations for the default (factory) settings I added this to the backlog.

  @VectorStyler I meant in the colour sub-panels of the contour panel. It's not a priori easy to know where to control the various parameters of the contour tool. The pipet icon disappears before the screenshot but I meant there :

  I just like to say how much I appreciate the little + sign that now indicates when it is possible to set a Width Node much more better than before

  @Boldline The printing options can be saved as presets, both into the document or as global presets (Presets dropdown). Also, if the document is saved after printing, the printing options are saved with the document and are used next time. (and there is the Print Again command, that uses these last options).

  @Subpath cool! Illustrator might also have it but I wouldn't know since I stopped buying it at Cs6. I like the way Affinity tucks the saved viewpoints away and you can click to get a dropdown of others

  @Pat said in Copy-paste when the...: It would also be interesting to be able to CtrlC-CtrlV any object selected through the Layer panel In the Layers panel menu -> Panel Options (last item) enable the Object Pasteboard option. By default, the layers panel ctrl+c/ctrl+v is to copy / paste the object name (think of batch renaming from a text editor). But object copy/paste can also be enabled.

  @Boldline as i came from Coreldraw, which also has options for aligning nodes but I can say that VS is far more superior here can only recommend to experiment with it

  @VectorStyler I've just tried out text styles again in VS and so far it's difficult to use them for a page layout. In a DP app, the style of a paragraph includes, of course, the specifications of the paragraph but also the font and its characteristics (light, bold, regular, size, etc.) In VS, unfortunately, it seems that the font itself is considered to be an override of the paragraph style. This should not be the case. Only a defined character style should be considered an override.

  @b77 I occasionally use shift-x for this but it is a little different when I am using the stylus because the fill and stroke indicators at the top of the screen are not far from where I'm usually working. So when using the stylus it can be easy to pop up and click there. From what I see, they don't really serve a great purpose up there right now as is - since you can only adjust one at a time. To me, adding the switcher there would add value

  @VectorStyler said in Could the escape key be an alternative way to close out isolation mode?: @Boldline I added this to the backlog. Have to make sure that it does not conflict with some other key. There is also a new full screen mode in 1.2 (no menu, or panels) which uses escape to exit. Great! This will be a very useful feature, especially on smaller screens. Lots of room to complete a task.
