  @VectorStyler said in Sometimes double-tapping the "L" key to convert a node to cusp gives me the path sketch tool instead: Looks like that if the command fails (already cusp), it falls back to default. Yes! You put that so succinctly! That would be great fix. Thanks

  @gotanidea There are other issues also. Transformation of groups that contain masks are not transforming the masks correctly. I will try to fix these for the next build.

  @Subpath said in Repeater takes massive amount of resources to do small commands: The steps that are necessary for this are explained in this tutorial section here, in case you dont remember: I appreciate you sharing all of that again. I will certainly check it out and see what else can be done!

  @Ayo I'm back to this discussion: Are you requesting a way to change the shape's "core-line" when selected because editing the color of the stroke is more difficult when this colored contour is superimposed over the shape?

  @richbyte You can use the Console app (from Applications > Utilities) to find the last crash report for VS.

  The whole "Delete" thing came into play around the same time that Apple started pushing "auto-save": with auto-save, the document is saved automatically and continuously, so there is no concept like "Don't Save" any more at that point. "Delete" makes more sense once you have an auto-saved document and want to get rid of it, but if it was never saved in the first place, then it becomes confusing, and if it was, then it should save automatically anyway, so there is no reason to prompt... the way the whole "auto-save" thing is presented to users was poorly designed in my opinion, particularly as it is mixed in with apps that will and will not use it adding further to the behavioral confusion.

  @VectorStyler These two at least could display the tool name in parentheses, like this: Shape Erasing Style (Trim and Join tool) Shape Editing Indicator (Grid, Super Ellipse, Super Shape tools) Btw, the last one is a slider, so a better description could be: Shape Editing Slider (Grid, Super Ellipse, Super Shape tools)

  @Ayo If you want to move the rectangle (or any shape) mid drawing, press the Space bar and drag the object around. Works great with snapping.

  @Ayo said in Can't find the node: The Collider Node I assume is the node appearing at the collision point between two shapes. In Indicator Shapes I can change the Collider Node all I want but it has no effect. Remains a Tiny Circle. This is now not in use anymore, as it is handled by a snapping indicator, will be removed. Which selection from Editing Options 1 should give the color and line settings for this node? This will be the "Collision Snapping Indicator"

  I was testing out the double click options in preferences. I made the simple double click be "select inside" and it does not seem to work. If I double click on something visible that is inside another shape, it will not seem to do anything. I also made the option-double click also "select inside" and that works just fine. So it seems the double click by itself option is not functioning as it should in this setup. I will check some others and see how the perform
