  @VectorStyler said in Image to color palette, notice and suggestion: thanks An observation: some images (JPEG) may contain small / difficult to see color variations. would and have not used JPEGs too to create a color palette from an image because I know that could be (maybe because of JPEG compression artifacts)

  @Subpath I agree. I always feel like I need to preface my requests on the forum with "This is probably already in the program but I could not find it by myself," It feels like everything is already implemented or if not, it's already been suggested and added to the queue to be added in a future update.

  @VectorStyler said in Inserting Nodes with the "+" Key Behavior: Do you need to select all nodes for this case? that is possible. yes, because i often use it for divide parts of path and also to divide a whole Shape i like this kind of behaviour from CorelDraw and have no really needs for the VS way to do this I can add this to the backlog, to have a settings to keep the original nodes also selected. this would be nice and helpful if the old selected nodes and the newly created nodes remained selected

  @Subpath yes. What is great about most vector programs is that there's always multiple ways to accomplish a task. I do a lot of things with clipping masks and the like in VS and love it. My goal with the original post is to see if that level of efficiency found with the fill tool in Affinity Beta can be added to what the shape builder can do in VS - but allowing for a non-destructive result (original shapes are not destroyed in the process), no strokes added by VS in the process and stroke path used to define new shapes is left intact.

  @Boldline A new thing that this new AD Fill tool has: it can be fill aware, joins neighboring regions with the same fill

  @VectorStyler It doesn't matter since these will change in the (near ?) future with the introduction of icons panels anyway.

  @Ingolf This already exists, but there isn't much room left for modifiers, so this was unassigned. In Preferences -> Modifiers, find the "Swap Smooth Pen Clicking" (could be in the All list), and assign a key.

  @Arde The problem with the transparency can be replicated. The fix will be in the next build.

  Agreed, in the View menu, Margins should be moved down one spot and a separator added, so that Margins and Guides are together.

  @Subpath Thanks to take the time to give a feedback Yes I know this but the idea is to organize an artboard for page layout with specific guides for that purpose While waiting for this feature (hopefully) I’ll organize guides & grids.

  @Boldline Something like this already exists: try the Outline ZigZag for zigzag and wave shape overlays. try the Overlay shape filter to use custom shape overlays. the only issue here is that you need to define your own custom shape profiles. Here is an example of using custom overlay shapes: Select the waving ellipse, and in the Shape Effects panel, open the Overlay shape filter options. Here (among other options) it is possible to change the Shape to any open shape that has the "Shape" role. Two examples are on the top of the artboard, and listed in the Shape drop down. 0_1675235597572_overlayshape1.vstyler

  @Pat said in File -> Open recent : option to delete from the list: I didn't want to refer to Affinity yet, but I also like the way these applications handle missing files. It would suit me perfectly. This one thing they did right. The most common scenario here is that I actually want to clean the list from now irrelevant files and removed files. Then I open the one or two files I want to stay there, clear the list, and make a minor change then undo it to the two open files… then save them. A few seconds of manual work. I also wanted to suggest a feature similar to that in Affinity, when a file in the list cannot be opened but forgot. It would be a great supplement to the total destruction method behind clear list.

  @b77 thanks! Apparently I was not doing enough investigating prior. i'll be sure to use that more going forward
