@Boldline This could be a bug. I will try to replicate it.

@VectorStyler Or add a unit and let the user choose one, which would be better.

@VectorStyler thank you. This method is perfect!

@Boldline said in How do I use the Split Object Shape - "inside split schemes" and "cut split schemes"?: If I understand it correctly, the divide can be created with an open-ended path or the interior of a fill? Yes. In case of open-path the object will be split along the path. Is this the way it's supposed to work? Yes, for a single shape this is the result, it cuts the part inside the star. I think the repeater can also be used to create a grid of shapes for a "split scheme", but regular duplication and grouping will also do.

@Raaskot It seems to be that Acrobat can open the resulting file but other apps have problems. I will try to find a solution for this before the next build.

@Raaskot Solved it on my own Choose Tabular Figures under "Character Options/Typography/OpenType" [image: 1715942094345-79e66020-d3ca-4d54-9588-e4c10b821c06-billede-resized.png]

@Raaskot Seems to be a bug. Removing the default character styles causes this. The fix is to set a color for the text (it is missing). I will fix this ASAP.

@VectorStyler I'm probably just not used to it. I'd have to spend more time with it on daily tasks to know for sure, but other than it being different, so far I'm not inclined to say it needs a Preference option. Users who prefers to spread panels across displays likely benefit most from the behavior. Whereas in my case, it's just a matter of being able to read items while staring at another application, which I can do simply by clicking the window active. It's no biggie.

@Ingolf said in How to copy text via clipboard and paste in VS with new appearance?: I think VS' lacks a paste without format in text contexts I will check this as it should not be an issue. But yes, by default text i pasted with formatting.

I've seen this happen, but it's sporadic. Lots of fun UI glitches occurring on the Windows side. It will take some reporting to catch them all, I suspect.

@VectorStyler Look back at history, regarding question 1, this is a very important function. VS is a very powerful software. When I completely use VS as the mainstream work software in the future, there will be a lot of daily work documents. It will be very difficult to find files without a preview graphic window. Although I am looking forward to the emergence of the multilingual function, the function of the preview window should have a higher priority. Hope for reference.

@Subpath said in Stroke Width panel - broken?: @VectorStyler I actually don't have a problem with the way it is, because you can find out how it works So my thoughts went more , as an aid, perhaps to extend the tooltip text slightly by the line “Select a width node first” ? Just an idea, I don't know if this is a good solution maybe @Ingolf or @Li-Xiao know better Solutions You know me, more usability, less Linux Yes, there's a bit of missing self-explanatory context, so one knows it's about the context of the sequence of actions and the line width tool. This is where a status bar that can throw a line's explanation/error message has helped me a lot in other programs. Anyway, I'm a strong opponent of fields and functions with usable interfaces in a situation where they can't be used. And even worse, no feedback when you try. It's poor and outdated usability that costs customers countless hours figuring out programs. Affinity, for example, has huge amounts of it, and their forum is filled with repeated "how the fuck" questions solely from the small percentage of customers who use their forum. There are at least smaller tricks, if nothing else, that can be easily implemented, giving customers a clear idea that the path is closed here, and preferably also why.

@Boldline The size can be adjusted with the "Scale" field, and it will always be relative to the stroke width. The initial size (100%) is about 3x of the stroke width.

@Raaskot These are text frame contents, I will make these optional.

To add to the discussion, I am able to copy and paste webp images from my browsers on Windows 10. However when copying them from Firefox the transparency is pasted into vectorstyler as black. Copying from chrome preserves transparency as expected.

Awesome, that's exactly what I was looking for. I didn't really think that the order of things in the appearance panel would matter, but in hindsight it absolutely does, especially when dealing with things like multiple strokes and fills. Thanks!

@Boldline I think there is a conflict here between various constrains in the path editor. This might be a bug.

@VectorStyler Great, thanks!

@Pat Got it. The workaround for the repeater expand is to use first a Convert to Curves (to flatten the scaling) and then do the expand. I will fix this There is some bug with the PDF export of the blends (probably the gradient on stroke) I opened a bug on this also.
