  @Nils said in Forcing translate transform shape effect?: @vectoradmin Nice to hear that. When's the next bugfix build to be expected? I think you said end of week or something right? If all goes well the current batch of fixes should be in a build by Monday afternoon (Finland time).

  @vectoradmin said in Default drawing mode: @Ingolf I think the solution for this is to keep the last selected drawing mode persistent. I added this to the backlog. EDIT: this means there is no need for new settings. For me, that will suffice.

  @Boldline Well, this is the same for most of the other features of VS. There are panels that contain (mostly) a subset of options and then each such feature may have a larger (more complicated) modal view. I think panels are useful, to allow non-modal editing of selected parameters. And it is not possible to publish all options in panels only, so modal views are also needed.

  I really miss these options as well this makes beautiful patterns possible. Like here, only one oversized stroke on a Star.

  @vectoradmin Oh, right. Yes, so we can avoid clutter in the UI and just add a sentence in the documentation. Elegant.

  Panels Opened on Startup

  @Sullyman I think this is part a bug, part missing feature. The (minified) panel states should be restored at startup, if not this is a bug. Having a toolbar-style arrangement of minified panels is not possible now, this is in the feature request list, has been requested before. One thing that is possible now, and could be close to this, is to create a new custom toolbox (Customize Toolboxes) and add the panel opening actions to that. This will temporarily pop-up the panel, but it will also close when clicking away.

  @Victor-Vector This looks like a bug, as it should not depend from which side the mouse approaches. I just checked, and the same issue happens on Windows 10 also.

  @Petar_MK Initially I was a bit thrown by this too, but then I came to realize it had advantages to be able to set them separately. For instance I like to work with an HSB wheel for the visual feedback of the wheel, but sometimes I will want to see RGB values to my corresponding choices. I certainly has helped me understand the relationships between the different color system representations. I suppose it's easy to set if you want them the same, and there are only 4 that correspond between 18 the sliders and wheel/spectrums.

  @Boldline I think the issue is that these two shapes contain brushes, and it seems that the brush content is not blended.

  @Boldline This looks like a bug. The brush list is a preset panel, are you doing double clicks on the brushes in the list? One thing to try is to enable "Apply on Selection" in the panel menu, to use single clicks to apply the presets. It should work in node tool also.

  @vectoradmin I see. Groups would be more convenient I think. It would be nice if either styles from object references would appear in a group in the styles panel automatically if they are in an object group, the name being fetched from the group object groups could be applied a "Style Group" role, that would accomplish the same

  For anyone encountering this issue, here's a workaround workflow that abandons symbols and uses styled groups, object markers and transform each: Instead of making a symbol out of a deeply nested group mark the group open the "Selections" panel click on the hamburger menu select "Setup Markers" create a marker select the group Select Menu > Markers > Object Marker > Choose marker either clone it ( currently to be avoided until bugs are fixed by @vectoradmin ) just make copies of it and rely on the nested styles for uniformity Select Menu > Markers > Select Marker > Choose marker all marked objects are selected Object Menu > Transform > Scale > check "Transform Each" > select reference point > scale The benefit here is, as discussed above with @vectoradmin, that you now have symbol-like capabilities ( although using more memory as a disadvantage ) and can also use not only this better scaling, but make targeted overrides to some of multiple uses of the same style in deeply nested, styled groups.
