  @b77 .... converting the text to curves is not needed ... Thanks, I already know that. Have been experimenting around with Envelope Shape and others lately. Will post the findings in the tutorial or general section (not sure where yet) in the near future. .... converting the text to curves is not needed ... but could possibly be better in some circumstances for a smoother shape/curve progression

  @b77 said in Hiding nodes when selecting a group: @Ingolf If I understand correctly, you just need to disable 'Show Nodes of Selected Shapes' in Preferences > Editing Options. Bingo - thanks!

  @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.

  @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.
