@ideagonal Freggern made available a printable PDF here, just in case: https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/1262/vectorstyler-manual-pdf/19

@vectoradmin said in Shift click to select: @Jayanta-Das Did the highlight show selection (light blue) in the Layers panel? Yes highlight show. @b77 solved my querry.

@Raaskot I could not replicate the issue. It could be caused by the specific font. I tried to find Univers Condensed (and TradeGothic also) but the versions I got worked. If you could send me by email (csraba at vectorstyler.com) a font for which the text box is empty, that could help replicating the issue (font will be deleted once the bug is fixed).

@vectoradmin Cool! Thanks Otherwise: Very useful and nice programme compared to both Affinity Designer, Inkscape and AI.

@Jayanta-Das

Just to add something in relation to the original post, you can change the ‘top-down coordinates (to match the second screenshot) in the document setup options. [image: 1645573546657-bfb2fd9a-7b7e-42e4-a280-583e9ae140b3-resized.jpeg]

@Boldline The Palette panel will stay open, but it will show the palette of the current document. Currently the only option is to change the palette of the document, or set up a new template, There is one task (new feature) in the backlog, to allow custom palettes to be selected for a new document.

@Boldline When dragging an object (or layer) in the layers panel: https://recordit.co/IDgEjcLLsz if the indicator fully covers the other object, then it will drop the object inside (so clipping will happen). if the indicator is between two layers (objects) then it will move the object there. If it is not like this, then it is a bug. Not sure if other indication is necessary.

@vectoradmin I'm glad you were able to figure it out! The color in this case was not a spot color.

As a general rule, selecting a tool in and of itself should not alter the document. This feature breaks that rule and violates the principle of least surprise, so while I can understand that some people might consider it a helpful workflow optimization, it definitely should not be default behavior.

@vectoradmin v1.1.016 Thank you. I've checked the improvements.

@Jayanta-Das Most of the VS problems related Window 11 are documented, and they are in the backlog. These will get fixed as soon as possible.

@Boldline Got it! This is a bug, the expand stroke has a problem with the "Rigid Shapes" option. Will get fixed.

@vectoradmin said in Clarifying How to Use the space bar modifier with selections: Maybe we need to change magic wand? Maybe- I think it depends on what ways it can still function with other tools and if that is affected. Your layout makes sense - it is a selection method just like the other two it resides with on the toolbar. Illustrator (not that it's better, just as a point of reference) seems to treats it like unique tool that can be clicked away from Thinking more on it - one thing that helps in Illustrator is that the magic wand has a unique cursor. It's pretty clear just from looking at it, that you're not in the default selection tool - but in VS, it's harder to know that because it looks like the other two selection options. If you decide at some point to expand the way magic wand can be used, I'd not want to get away from the traditional arrow cursor for that, but could we add an asterisk next to it - to remind users they are not in the other selection modes? That might be enough, along with a keyboard shortcut for the standard selection to solve the problem.

@vectoradmin said in Cut Path at Intersection: @Jayanta-Das Yes, it only adds nodes, will not cut the path. There is one more option for this: when working with open paths, use the "Cut Out" boolean operation (first icon in the second group). This will cut the bottom path, but an additional "Break Apart" is still needed. I understand. I thought that it add nodes to both the objects at intersection. It only add node to one object.

@Jayanta-Das Thank you! That was the answer

@vectoradmin Maybe the Spacebar can be coopted in the combination.

@Ingolf If there are cases that do not make sense, please report it!

@Boldline Yes, there is an open issue with quicklook. It seems that on some systems, MacOS does not let the quicklook plugin fully load. This issue is in the backlog, I will try to replicate it. The EPS file preview should not be related.

@vectoradmin Thank you.
