  @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.

  @Jayanta-Das I check what happens on Windows. Normally, it should open the file Explorer and highlight the file.

  @Boldline Regarding the pasting of styled text: A separate 'Paste and Match Style' command in the Edit menu might be better than another entry in Preferences.

  @Jayanta-Das There is no special command to save it as a template. Just save it as a regular vstyler file and then use New from Template to select it.

  Here why i came to this question. First Because of the shear amount of options "Find/Replace" seems to already have. But i dont know, how to use any . . Second Most steps seem to be already possible in VS. But only manually. Resizing Objects: I like resizing via Alignment Size because it will align the Size from any Shape to any Shape (works also with blended Shapes, i use blend often to get a bunch of colors or sizes) Here a Video: . . Change Shapes: I use the Shape Picker Tool, could also change Sizes (works also with blended Shapes) Also a Video her:

  @VectorStyler Thank you for considering this idea. Perhaps a modifier key and a right-click? Currently right-click brings up a node menu when nodes are selected. Maybe modifier key + right-click brings up a little menu showing the all the selected nodes and maybe the user can click to check them off or on? Nodes would be sorted from last to first, top to bottom? I am sure you or others may have a more elegant solution, just trying to help ...

  Grouped items with lowered opacity shows as 100% - should that be the case?

  @Ingolf said in Grouped items with lowered opacity shows as 100% - should that be the case?: A good rule of thumb is that when there is no problem, there is no problem to solve. What one considers a problem, someone else may not. We see this often on the forum and a good debate helps find the best solutions. @Ingolf said in Grouped items with lowered opacity shows as 100% - should that be the case?: The value you see for the group shows what opacity the group has as a TOTAL entity, and that's information that's important. I can understand in a way, the idea of a group containing multiple opacities within for example, being referred to as "100% opacity". it can be a confusing concept and one that caused great difficulty in illustrator to be able to return them all to 100% or adjust them otherwise. new users especially, get confused by this concept. I'm not necessarily saying it has to change, but I would like to think of at least some way to make it clear to users what the group opacity is when the parts of the group may have different opacities within
