  @VectorStyler Thanks. I realized that I had to click off on the "lock all panels" to allow the tabs to be easily pulled out from a grouping.once I unlocked it, I was able to edit the groups of panels as you showed in the video

  @Boldline Only if double clicked for isolation. Or with Option+Click to select an object inside a group.

  @VectorStyler I'll get some examples next time I start fiddling especially now that I know the zoom matters for snapping

  @VectorStyler I don't think it's necessary. This seems like an action where there are two steps: 1. Create a new canvas, 2. Maximize the canvas display. The shortcut key operation is just for the convenience of adding a canvas. I have also set a separate shortcut key for maximizing the canvas display. I believe most people share my view. This is more in line with the actual operating habits.

  @VectorStyler thanks, I always end up finding it... I humbly think that this information is interesting for those who visit the website without being particularly interested in the forum.

  @Boldline I have only basic understanding of how software development works, but I wouldn't be so confident in hoping you could just like that reutilize VS's framework for building up a totally new raster application without massive amounts of development work. This right here seems to be one of my main issues with Affinity Designer, that it has never been built up as a true vector application, and till this day it's struggling a lot with even the most basic vector functions. Most of its "vector" features seem to be in fact just mimicking vector behavior, but. the output is still bitmap. Like patterns or even brushes, which they have the audacity to market and sell as "vector" brushes on their store. FWIW Affinity Photo is a great Photoshop replacement, if you don't rely on generative AI that is.

  @JuurGroove This is only possible now as a recorded action (using Actions panel). But I can add some predefined actions of the common alignment types.

  I appreciate the quick response. I have attached the Display P3.icc file. It is part of the macOS system. I tried the 16-bit setting in Display Options, but there was no change in VectorStyler. Regards, David Brown 0_1735939455626_Display P3.icc.zip

  FWIW, I had the same error when I registered just now on a separate machine and it claimed server couldn't be connected. I hit Retry and heard nothing back, saw it had the "Remove License" option in the Help menu... on restart, no nag screen, so I guess it is registered...

  @VectorStyler said in How Do I select tints and original spot colors at the same time using the Select menu?: But I can try adding support for spot color tints. I appreciate your willingness to try it and see if it's possible. That would add a lot of power to my workflow and keep things consistent on the artboard; there wouldn't be some tints maintaining their spot color info and others that look the same not having any connection
