@Ayo Looks like the path eraser tool has a bug when erasing the whole shape. Added these issues to the backlog.

@Subpath said in Pen Tools Dot: The gap in the new one could be a little narrower for my taste It's just a suggestion to illustrate my point. No optimized design. However, I immediately noticed when creating the symbol that a center line must be thicker than the white overall outline. For overall weight balance and preventing filling up in tiny size.

@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.

@Ayo said in Some comments and advice about the Layers panel: I also wonder why there is the need for two magnifying glasses. One seems sufficient to me. Symbol on the right with the tiny cross is probably intended as a 'Clear' symbol. In that case, a simple cross will symbolize its function more clearly. @Ingolf said in Some comments and advice about the Layers panel: The current bottom placement is therefore my favorite when it is displayed permantly. I actually forgot it was there because it never distracted me. So all in all I prefer it in the bottom if it will always be visible. Same for me.

@Boldline said in [Using Record It does not allow me to see panels or press buttons in VS] Hmm I just updated both machines to the new Sonoma OS. Edit your signature!

@encart BTW: a path can also be extended automatically to the next intersection with the Trim and Join tool.

@Ayo Thanks for reporting this. I added it to the backlog as a bug.

@VectorStyler I thought so. Somewhere else you call it 'containers'. It is more a stack order panel. Layers, groups or containers, it is simply not correct to include varieties of pears under the heading of apples.

@VectorStyler This is actually an older discussion and/or feature request. https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/3294/ideas-to-improve-the-vectorstyler-layers-panel/48

@VectorStyler said in Indicators showing while invisible: find a solution Perhaps 'Invisible = locked too (in the background)'? Locked can be visible.

@Ayo Thanks for reporting this. Will be fixed ASAP.

@Ayo After changing the canvas color in Document Setup > Guides you can save the document as a preset: [image: 1698056168266-gsef.png] Any new document will have this setting by default until you change it or add a different preset. (The preset will be available in File > New Document Setup > Document Presets).

@Ayo Will improve this while in beta.

@VectorStyler Thank you. I have recorded videos. However, you already understood. https://youtu.be/c64KMjRy2ag https://youtu.be/3fLopwxuFlo

@b77 said in Tapping "L" key twice to convert a selected node to a cusp is also switching me to the path sketch tool: Here pressing L the second time retracts the node handles "under" the node I have to replicate this.

@Li-Xiao said in There seems to be a problem with shape replace: @VectorStyler Yes. Can it be fixed? Opened a bug on this one, will try to fix it for the next build

@Harry Yes, this is a bug, it is caused by the Palette panel.

@VectorStyler said in Panels disappear when VS works in background: @Boldline Replicated! Awesome!!! Glad you could replicate it

@Boldline said in Did the beta change the auto switch back option in the tools?: Can you explain the command selection? When holding the Command+ an alternate tool is selected temporarily, and should return to the original tool when releasing. Each tool may have a different alternate tool, and some tools have no alternates.

@VectorStyler said in eraser/path brush not the same as before 1.2 beta: If you enable the "Show Eraser Shape" option the preview will be more precise (but it will also change as the mouse moves). This is an area where ultimately, an option like what Illustrator has with their blob tool and eraser would be ideal for me. Where the result is free flowing and fills where the cursor circle goes, almost like you are painting. So there's almost no real need for a preview because the end result I will record some video of that and share it.
