Can't move combined selection



  • @b77 On Mac
    Didit!
    Had to toggle a switch in System Settings, Privacy & Security.
    Here my first recording😃 but doesn't solve the problem: https://recordit.co/BbYZq7vnvt

    @Ayo If on Windows: Subpath had only good things to say about ScreenToGif

    can only repeate my praise 🙂
    ScreenToGif ( Win only) is a very small screen recorder (only 170 kb)
    with features you won't believe, especially at this size

    I often use it for longer screen recordings
    because Recordit sometimes refuses to upload

    Then I play the recording with Screentogif and
    use Recordit to record that. Because Recordit stores
    the record online, which Screentogif doesn't do



  • @Ayo

    Here my attemp, work as expected
    Win 10, VS 1.2 Beta
    Here the Video



  • @Subpath @b77
    About your recordings: you both can do amazing things that I can't do.

    Glad my classic textbook explanation still works. Advantage over Screen Recording is the exercise in VS. Working with, text, arrows etc. (For example, I notice that during my explanation the text cursor in the text boxes does not always want to appear. But that is an other issue.)



  • @b77
    Not complex, but attach the file anyway.

    No problem, explain it with whatever you feel comfortable with

    When it comes to screen recording, sometimes it's just easier
    to figure out what someone actually does

    By the way, I only started screen recording when I started
    posting questions about VectorStyler in this forum.
    I never needed it before.

    tried it with your file
    everthing works as expected

  • @Ayo Moving or duplicating the two black shapes in the file works here as it should.

    No idea what is causing this. Maybe you're using a stylus and not a mouse or trackpad?

    …… . . .
    OK, you're on a Mac.

    You can try to move the two files (settings.xml and workspace.xml) somewhere else:

    • close VS

    • switch to the Finder

    • click the 'Go' menu > Go to Folder…

    • paste this: ~/Library/Application Support/NumericPath/VectorStyler1.2/vector/data/resources

    • press Enter/Return.

    • move these two files (settings.xml and workspace.xml) outside that folder.

    Then you can start the app again and see if the issue is solved.

    If it's solved, send the .xml files to the developer's email (csraba at this domain).



  • @Ayo Tested it and there are no issues. Try clicking on "Restore Defaults (Help\Restore Defaults)" and then test it again.



  • @b77 Using a mouse.

    Followed your procedure and problem is solved Indeed!
    Still annoying that that happens.
    Will send the .xml files to the developer's email.
