  Non-closed path difficulties with setting stroke to the outside

  @Boldline Can be replicated here. The difficulty with this case is that offsetting open paths is still problematic. One option would be to automatically close when creating the offset, if the two ends are overlapping. But that would mean a slightly different result than an open offset. I added this to the backlog. Would auto-closing be acceptable?

  @Boldline It seems to be working here (could test on an Intel Macbook Pro for now), if I select parts or all the halftone vectors, duplicating works without slowing down. If you have time to make a recording, I might be able to find the issue.

  @Boldline said in Pros and Cons to using Shapes not paths for text on a path: are there other pros and cons to using shapes instead of official paths for text on a path? Not really, other than the "live" shape remains editable using its options. What were the problems when scaling the circle?

  @Boldline Check if this happens with other apps. When using Mac Mini M1 (first edition), I do get issues with the BT mouse, and this was reported as a known problem in those machines.

  @Huangzhi said in Is there a Chinese interface and where to set it?: I am a Chinese affinity designer user and want to switch to vectorstyler, but I can't find the Chinese settings Sorry to say, but for now the only available UI language is English.

  @Igull your welcome Nice to hear that is useful. At some point, it has become a routine for me to search for web apps when I need a certain function. It's amazing what can be done with it today. ...hopefully at some point VS will be able to do that... You could put it as a feature request in the Ideas and Features section in this forum

  @b77 said in "Erase" like blend mode?: It is easy to implement for two overlapping shapes, I'm sure. Not so sure if multiple overlapping shapes with different fill types and blend modes are involved… Yes, I've been thinking the same thing.

  @b77 It does also happen with Save & Open, thanks for reminding me. I've been exporting a lot past few days so I guess that was fresh in my mind when I wrote this. I double checked, and it is set to Dark not Extra Dark. @VectorStyler thank you very much! I appreciate it.

  @Inspiredmac One other thing: open Activity Monitor and check the CPU usage of VectorStyler while it is launching.

  @VectorStyler Wow! Thanks! A very detailed, comprehensive and useful feedback! If you consider an addition to the online guide you have already outlined the content copy with this response to me:) Consider also how-do-I-cases like "I want the artwork to appear on the web" and "How to set up artwork for print: how do I manage destination profile and screen appearance".

  @VectorStyler Thanks - I think the issue for me is that the collider tool is set to the forefront in that tool grouping by default and even if it's not being used, if it's icon is visible in the vertical tool bar, it affects the way the transform tool can be used. I was getting the collider symbol to appear by my cursor even when all I was doing was trying to shift-click several overlapping vectors - this caused them to not select properly. I was not trying to use the collider tool, at all in this case and it still was in part activated. This is a similar issue with the magic wand tool - if it's the visible top toolbar icon in it's set on the vertical toolbar, other selections cannot be made until it is switched away from entirely.
