Problems around the corner
-
@Igull An additional click on the corner knob should give an orange outline.
Then the corner is selected and the amount can be changed.
This is how it works here: https://recordit.co/KHETH1EA1KWas there any customization of the modifier keys?

yes, by swarm intelligence

You're suggesting that we have the intellect of a bee then - probably correct in my case

Yes, ok on the context bar input field, that's what I use generally, but was attempting to investigate more when the corner panel and shape panel started to cause me issues

@Subpath said in Problems around the corner:
it seems that the corner panel has a bug ?
Yes, that was one of the issues I noticed.

This is how it works here: https://recordit.co/KHETH1EA1KOK, got that, but you are using a specific corner tool to simply set a corner value. I feel that this is a bit of an overkill and TBH, unnecessary. You commonly have either the transform tool or the shape editor tool in use and having to then go to yet another tool seems pointless.
If using the transform tool, you have to initially select the object, then select a corner point that you wish to change - that's two operations when it only needs to be one. I feel the transform tool should be for the complete object and not a single node.
If using the shape editor tool (the correct tool IMHO), you would simply select a node and apply a value (or a selection of nodes). Currently, if using the shape editor tool, it transforms all nodes to corners./rant
Was there any customization of the modifier keys?
Not to my knowledge. TBH, you really don't need a modifier (unless for removing an applied corner of course - but then you can simply set the corner value to zero ?).
I fully realise that VS is different (and better really
in many respects to some of the other apps, but occasionally goes over the top on a feature that really isn't required (for my selfish purposes at least LOL )Neil

I will make it work with the Node selection also.

Hi all
I have made two requests this week that @VectorStyler put in the backlog
- single (selected) corner values should be adjusted when selected with the shape editor (here)
- corner editor tool should be invoked correctly and directly when a node is selected and the corner tool is activated via a keyboard shortcut (here)
Selecting one or more nodes now and activating the corner editor with mouse works as expected.
So, I expect that eventually this will work for me on an object (that is not a built in shape):
- I activate the node editor with A
- I select one or more nodes
- I enter a value in an input field and only selected corners are adjusted
OR
I press C (my personal keyboard shortcut for the corner editor) and only the selected corners are adjusted (with the mouse) and I then press A to return to the shape editor

Well, there are many other species that
live in large groups (swarms), even humans.
So it is your choice

As they say in the movies, 'make it so'
Excellent, thanks for that!
