  @Devil-Dinosaur Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately, I don't experience what you have described. I have a group comprised of letter shapes. When I selected the group and only the group circle was selected, I wasn't able to change the color of any object. When I opened the group and selected each item in the group individually (holding shift and dragging so all the circles were selected), then I could change the color.

  @Boldline said in File path in error dialogs: @Ingolf Seems like adding a non-working path would add confusion for sure. I'd think the name of the file would suffice and the user can go search for that easier But the filename is known - I just saw it and picked it in the open recent list. But I want to know what location it was opened from. Also searching if the file was on a now disconnected drive / USB stick will give zero results.

  @Boldline This looks like a bug. Added it to the backlog.

  "Export Again" option to save as new exported file instead of copying over?

  @Boldline said in "Export Again" option to save as new exported file instead of copying over?: Instead I realized it actually saved over the first exported file. I can see both instances being useful - the ability to quickly export a file and then go in and make edits and export again expecting to get multiple variation results or expecting the file to be replaced each time you edit. This could be some kind of "Incremental Export Again" feature. I added this to the backlog.

  @Boldline @b77 yes, something along these lines. The exact use cases and UI is not yet clarified so input is welcome.

  @Nils said in Editing features ( mega-topic ) ( unimplemented ): @vectoradmin Why do not all fields have variable support? From a programming perspective that seems quite strange. Internal class "fields" or numeric "fields" in UI? I as referring to numeric fields in UI In VS, internal class "fields" are properties (there are very few fields as in C++ syntax). These can have variable support if stored as variants (a lot are not), or if a variable override sets them (possible for all). UI numeric "fields": these have an associated "formatter" that determines what is a correct input and how to interpret it. Most numeric fields have a number "formatter" type. These would need to be changed in resources.

  @Ingolf Added this to the feature list. I think it is doable in the short term.

  @Sullyman said in Scroll bar in font selection dropdown closes without allowing a selection to be made: Still having this same issue. Tried to replicate this on both Windows (10) and Mac, but it seems to be working. Before 1.1.024 version, this issue could be replicated. If there is a short recording (I recommend record.it) to help understand what happens and how to replicate it, that would be great. Thanks. I keep this issue open, let me know if you have more info.

  @b77 said in Selective alignment: But I get it that you didn't mean this only for text. Examples are welcome. I was more thinking of it for being able to choosing what section of a selection to align. Some designs we create are intentionally off-center - a small bit of text or design extends beyond the rest of the frame - but we don't want that extended part to be a factor in how the overall design is aligned on the artboard. Here is an example from a few months back when I first brought it up. Some of the secondary text extends beyond the main body of the design and if I was selecting the entire design to align, it would be off-center as a result of this

  @Boldline said in Lower opacity of the design while editing clipped objects instead of full hide: @vectoradmin Interesting. What is supposed to be occurring, a partial opacity drop or no visible change at all (everything stays 100% opacity)? This has nothing to do with isolation mode. What happens is that when dragging the selection, the some of the objects are not redrawn.

  @b77 That's right, I had forgotten about this possibility.

  @Ingolf The main issue there is that holding Shift before mouse click is used to adjust the selection (add / remove to the selected nodes). I have to look into this more, how the two features (selection and angle constrain) could be reconciled under the same key press. BTW: there are cases in VS where it is possible to select multiple control points.

  Could clipped "hidden" items be less randomly selected?

  @Boldline Yes, I hovered there intentionally. I added to the backlog an option to block these. On the other hand, the point of the node tool is to select deep into objects, and that clipped out brick shape is there. I think there is a use case for both (allowing selection of these or not).

  @vectoradmin Oh brilliant! You called it. Turning "Adjust Node Removal Curvature" on or off, saving preferences, closing VS, reopening VS, trying to delete nodes will respect the previous saved on or off preference. Thanks for troubleshooting the problem, I hope it is a quick fix.

  I am not fixated on a solution. I was thinking about it while I was playing with pattern creation in VS And I like to use Clones for that. With Circles Sections, I do it this way. Doing that with (cloned) Polygon Shape Sections would offer the possibility to distribute the pattern and it would keep the Shape editable.

  @vectoradmin said in Exit text editing mode: @encart Yes, it seems that on Window using Esc does not completely "exit" text editing. Indeed, verified on my Windows 10 machine too.
