      @monsterfox Thank you for expressing your concerns. I get it. Nobody wants to wait twenty years for progress. I confess I still hope we see a companion pixel editor and desktop publishing tool that works alongside VS well before the 20 year mark! Some of the groundwork already in VS might even speed that up. Either way, I am glad VS exists and that it delivers a stronger and more powerful vector editing experience than what I started with years ago. I do not have inside info, but based on how fast bugs were fixed and roadmap features were shipped, it feels possible we may not see long strings of versions like 1.7 or 1.8. By the time we hit 1.5 or 1.6, the core features might be finished and the next logical move could be 2.0. At some point everyone needs to decide when VS feels complete enough for full professional use. For me, most of what I need is already in place or can be handled through outside tools. I get almost all my daily work done in 1.3, which is a massive leap from the 2020 beta where I started. That said, I still have a list of needs and nice to haves that would make the app even stronger. I am sure you do too. Hopefully the current feature set already covers most of what you rely on. Keeping some perspective, VS is already well ahead of Affinity and plenty of people use Affinity as their main tool! I cannot guess how difficult or time consuming the remaining roadmap tasks are, but I hope the updates continue with the same momentum. Without pushing the developer into commitments he does not want to make, and while still leaving room for surprises and his willingness to respond to user requests, it might be worth having more focused conversations soon about which tools and features we see as the top priorities for 1.4. That way @VectorStyler can make his final decisions knowing where we as the community are coming from. As @Subpath mentioned, we've been given so much value already in VS and less has been expected from us. I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth! I know we're all so grateful to @VectorStyler for his contributions to our vector design careers.

      @monsterfox The corner rounding function of the Contour Path effect is invalid This one is not clear. From the image I can see the effect applied on a straight line, that has no corners so corner selection has no effect on this. If you need to set the endings (rounded, etc), that can be accessed by expanding the effect options with the rightmost knob after the effect name

      I would find it useful if one could save presets for the mirror feature.

      @Boldline i correct you Its no Problem to move, lets say the group of mirrored Objects. Just push the finish Button and you could move the whole group. If you in Mirror Mode only the original Object is movable or the mirror guides. Here a Video to show it.

      @EricP Thanks a lot for your help. I’ve been struggling with this. Will have to look more into the settings @VectorStyler Yes, in VS1.2 it was default setting or I may have enabled it and forgot. Thanks for providing more options.

      Aha, seems Illustrator 2025 can do it as well. Use the Transparency panel. Select the group and in Transparency panel click Mask. Then Alt+click the mask icon (white field) in the panel and create black shape there (you can create many shapes, hide, move them, in the Layer mask panel that opens). No need to invert or clip. Illustrator zooming is so sluggish… it is painful. So far Affinity and Inkscape are best regarding zooming with the mouse scroll wheel. Now, regarding export to pdf, svg and eps. Illustrator failed to export to svg. (as VectorStyler exports a null svg) Illustrator exported to pdf successfully. Illustrator exported successfully to eps (VectorStyler did but lost the mask) and I could open that eps in Affinity and VS and with some combining shapes and groups the result was usable! Inkscape 1.4 could not open the eps at all. Interesting indeed! Seems pdf format is the winner although the actual mask object could not be selected\moved\edited in a pdf editor! Illustrator recognized the mask layer form VS as imported pdf (pdf created in VS). Affinity totally rasterized the mask = fail!

      @VectorStyler ok, my mistake. It seemed at a glance that that was the lite version. I think it just looked smaller on the site compared to the pdf. thanks!
