  @b77 said in Small but annoying issue : But I would ignore that and just type the name without adding the '.vstyler' extension, and the app adds it automatically. LOL, now why wasn't that my first consideration I just assumed that it wouldn't parse that, patently it does Thanks for that. Neil

  @Boldline said in Option to select within groups added to VS?: There is also the strong wish to be able to select an object nestled within a group and use that as the source for selecting all related objects on the layer/artboard Yes, this is possible. Select the object inside the group (small circle in the Layers panel), and enable the "Select Inside Layer" and / or the "Select Inside Artboard" options.

  Yes, It was running during this incident. Deleting the folder you specified helped. Reinstalling was not required. Thank you.

  @Boldline When copying (cutting) text, two versions of the text should end up in the clipboard. One with styling and one plain. When pasting, the order should be to look for the styled first (if found). Probably this is a bug.

  @Boldline said in Is there an option to align based on live text settings?: the horizontal alignment could utilize the end of the baseline in factoring where the live text ends. If some fonts are not set up this way, so be it.... alignment would work like is does currently anyway You're right, I agree and I guess it can be done.

  @Boldline The Control key does that (after the mouse is pressed).

  @VectorStyler said in Keep Shape Selected ?: After drawing a shape, it should stay selected (but there is no highlight indicating this). If you set the fill color the fill should be changed. Ah, that's a bit confusing then I did notice that after the shape had been created, if you hit V for the transform tool, the shape then became selected - which is a really odd arrangement ? It would certainly be good if the method that AI uses was worked out, it's quite intuitive (for my purposes at least, YMMV as they say ) Neil

  @VectorStyler said in Seeing objects in composite: @Ingolf Not clear what you are looking for. Is this in the Layers panel? I assume the composite group is a group with the Composite shape operation. Yep. My memory perhaps confuse things, I might just have performed a 'Break apart' on the composite but the thumbnails in the layers panel where generic. It looked different. The composite was just two shapes as a composite union.

  @b77 I asked for the "remember selection mode" preference because I only use the second mode whenever I can, and it drove me crazy I had to re-select it every day. I never use any other mode. Had that preference not been there (been added!), I would probably not use VS. Nite nite

  @Boldline Yes, AI divides then removes the trimming path "tool" and groups the resultant parts - all you need to do then is ungroup. TBH, I'm happier the way that VS does it, means you don't have to make a copy of the tool before using it Further, VS doesn't group the resultant parts, so no need to ungroup - win win Neil

  Thanks for the solution! I don't have it anymore since I removed it, but next time it happens I'll know what to do.

  @VectorStyler Ah, I just checked the original AI file and it seems you are correct in what you say - it really didn't click as AI draws the 'outline' (display preview) in black no matter what layer you are on (unless there is an AI preference that has been permanently changed on mine for 40 years ) - it doesn't use the layer colour ?

  @Boldline If turned off, the history will be still recorded because it is needed for undo / redo, but it will not save it into the file when the document is saved. Besides disabling the store option, also reduce the "History Limit" field to 1, to reduce how much history is recorded.

  @Boldline said in Speeding up the workflow in VS: they all literally take a second or two before they register I think this could be a bug. And the force quit too. The 1.7 - 2 GB RAM usage seems normal on M1. Should start out around 800MB and then gradually accumulates some caches. But this does not affect the performance (caching actually improves it). Some other thing might cause this. I add this to the backlog.

  @b77 said in Transforming multiple objects at once: There's no 'Transform Each' option in the Transform panel I think a Transform Each option would make sense in the Transform panel, but disabled by default. This would solve the problem of selecting the w/h also, not just scaling or rotating that can be done by the modal views. I will try to have this in 1.2
