  @VectorStyler Thank you. It's an important function for things like lettering/logotype. An easy example, if someone is designing a custom typeface that's based on a skew, having a snapping feature would speed things up for getting those clean curves...

  @VectorStyler Ah, I confused "Convert to Shape Text" with "Convert Frame Text to Path". Thanks!

  @Daniel This behaviour works in panels and views, but not in the context panel (upper row).

  @VectorStyler https://youtu.be/gOM3Fp3GIW0?feature=shared This video should be understandable. Hiding and showing will not be counted as part of the operation steps.

  @VectorStyler thanks! I figured out if I turn off the symmetric nodes and the "show segment" options, I get the pen tool settings that work best for me. With your Command+ option, I see it can give me pure cusp nodes when using the pen tool. that can be useful

  @monsterfox To resize a rectangle without distorting the corners, enable the Settings -> Editing -< Direct Shape Transformation option.

  @fdarnel said in Opened windows: I had created a group Layers/Canvas/Links. The 3 then disappeared after restarting. It doesn't happen everytime. I will try to replicate this.

  @Pipouille I correct myself: the names are in the PDF metadata. In the next VS build these will be used.

  Update - I realized I could just go to the layer and select the individual parts there... in my head I was looking for a layer-level option to do this from the menus I showed in the screen shots.

  @tudorcelstan The selection frame bug should be fixed in build 1.2.061. About the other reports: child objects of a group are always selected with the group. There was an issue with editing in isolated mode, but that is now fixed. The highlighted icon in the earlier screenshot is an other feature: use areas of shapes to create new selections.

  Thanks @VectorStyler for your quick answer. I have already disabled the width profile in new objects and it's working fine.

  @Boldline The only solution for this is to define a different shortcut for the color picker. Since these are different tools (the style and color pickers), they are treated as different for shortcuts also.
