  @PatrickM The fix for earlier blend issue will be in the next build. But this latest reported issue is not replicated yet.

  @b77 Yes, I think the solution is to make Separate Path smarter.

  @Boldline Spot colors should always show up on plates at full opacity, unless the user changed the opacity of the object or used the spot color in a gradient. VS can import and use spot colors like this: https://recordit.co/YvSK8MRtio @vectoradmin I don't know if you can define any color as a spot color, but if VS can do this, then objects in that (new) spot color should show on a separate plate, and in opaque black (100% like BL explained above), not 50, 32 or 87.

  Great, thanks. There are so many (useful & great) features in VS that a new user need a bit of time to find her/his way...

  @Boldline These are tied into the workspace (along with other panel states), which can also be saved / loaded.

  @Boldline This is a bit of a problem: the shape picker tool picks and applies shapes. In case of point text, the whole thing is a shape (text + formatting). It would be difficult to make exception for one shape type. Maybe in this case the Edit -> Attributes -> Copy / Paste Character Style would be a better option?

  @vectoradmin @b77 - yes I already had "Enable the: Preferences -> Editing Options -> Show Nodes of Selected Shapes" selected prior to this screenshot. I think this issue is more user error on my part looking at it fresh today. The nodes when selected in this case turn a dark blue and are hard to see. see first pic below: (What setting in preferences>user interface> interaction indicators changes that color from blue? Same with handles? Thanks in advance) This is what I'm used to in Illustrator - in the pic below, I have numerous red shapes I grouped together into one group. the light blue outline of the selection is around all the shapes contained within that group. The highlight around each piece and the nodes can be hidden by pressing command-H, resulting in the last image below. I like having the option to show all parts of a grouping, and the ability to hide the selection interior depending on what I am doing on screen

  Actually I'm using a large trackpad with gesture control -- similar to the Apple Magic Trackpad -- not a mouse.

  @vectoradmin Thank you! Now it's fine. Edit: Deselecting these two fixed the problem with renaming as well.

  @Boldline said in Could Magic Wand work while any other tool is selected?: Part of the confusion for me is that the magic wand/polygon lasso/box icon does not turn blue when selected like the other tools in the toolbar do. Each of them, I think, is just a selection mode. Therefore, it does not highlight blue. It is not a tool in itself. At least I haven't figured it out yet. It might as well land on the contextual bar.

  @b77 said in Resetting the Workspace on Mac: @Prevalent-Arts said in Resetting the Workspace on Mac: The second did not for an odd reason. Must be one of those bad MacBook keyboards… Yeah I'm not sure. But at least I now have the solution.

  @vectoradmin ok, that makes sense. In this case, my computer had been using too much disk space and the machine needed a total reboot. It performed better after that. I commonly notice issues happening when I'm opening an eps or PDF file from another source. Vectorstyler seems to prefer its own graphics
