@vectoradmin I forgot to mention one more detail. When I imported the file into other software ( also AI), all objects were duplicated. I will try to recreate it and send the appropriate file.

Ah, brilliant. My test brushes were beginning to pile up a bit! Thanks again!

@William-Kansepa I will play around with that and see if I can get further - thanks!

@vectoradmin "not very efficient to show those nodes"- because it eats up system resources? It's ultimately your decision as the developer. As far as my opinion goes, I'm torn on whether it's better to try to go forward with it using minimal selection (just bounding box), see if adding just the starting node as you suggested, or if it's better to give the full option and allow for a keyboard shortcut/menu item toggle like in Illustrator. I know it's been the default operation in Illustrator - (though you have the option in the menu in Illustrator to toggle only see the bounding box of all selected shapes if you prefer that) I liked the toggle option and used it when I needed to things would otherwise get bogged down but be able to flip back and forth to be sure I had what I wanted selected, etc... This is my go-to solution thought - give the user the choice and even leave the minimalist method the default instead of what Illustrator does. To me, I would remove this as a preferences option and just make it a toggled option with a menu click and a keyboard shortcut. Because I could see it being used both ways at different points in a design; I know I did this often in my work in Illustrator I was looking at Affinity Designer and they select all nodes and paths when large groups are selected Obviously we don't need to do what any other program does or does not do - but giving perspective on other vector app solutions I'd be curious what other people's views/ideas/solutions are on this topic

@Ingolf Looks like a really usefull List. I guess that List is for UI-Design.

@vectoradmin These are things I remember now. (but I think there're more.) Placing the input cursor on the text(anywhere) and Ctrl+A does not work at once. It usually requires two times of Ctrl+A, some times needs more, some times never works. This happens on English text too.(but less problematic) Emptying the text frame, changing the font to Japanese and typing Japanese put the current font back to Times New Roman. Selecting text partially does not work, I think this happens especially on Japanese vertical text. (this does not always happen so it's a bit difficult to replicate now)

@vectoradmin said in Can Path Brush Settings Options Remain After Use?: workspace.xml just emailed you the files. thanks

@Ingolf If the image object is inside a clipped group (as it happens when dragged in the layers panel), double click the group and the the image can be selected and moved around to show different clipped parts. Moving the shape will move the whole group (clipping shape + content).

@ash-f For now it will be with the preferences. I will think of a better way later.

@vectoradmin that workaround took care of it - thanks!

I checked the Mac version. It doesn't have these issues [image: 1638500094284-screenshot-2021-12-03-at-8.19.11-am-resized.png]

@Boldline It should be a single delete. I tried to replicate (composite shape, with multiple parts), but for me at least it deleted in a single step. Maybe it has to do with the shape. If there is a small example where it does not delete in a single step, please send it by email. Thanks!

Yes Of Course

@William-Kansepa Hey, I searched for that shortcut and didn't find it, so it's useful for me, thanks!

@encart After choosing one of the existing presets (say, PDF) you can change the export resolution from 120 to 300 dpi, go under the Text tab and check 'Vector Text' and do any other changes you consider. Then you can save it as a preset by clicking the 'Save as Preset' option from the 'Style' dropdown at the top (let's say, 'PDF for print 300dpi'). Afterwards the preset will be available in the same 'Style' menu at the top.

@Boldline Looks like the shortcut for this is not working. I open a bug on this one.

@Ingolf Restoring the workspace to default may also help in some of these cases: VectorStyler -> Restore Workspace on Mac

@Boldline VS font manager can only link to the fonts. If you have some folder(s) with fonts, that are not installed, then in the font manager just use "Add Folder". This creates a font "group" that points to the content of the folder (and its sub folders). Adding / removing font files from the folder will automatically update the "font group" (it is a sort of "virtual" group linked to the folder content). It is always a good idea to have large collections of fonts organized in folders (and not add these to the OS). In VS these groups can also be accessed separately (improving the font scrolling time) by selecting the font group, or merged "virtually" by selecting the "All Fonts" group (clicking on the button next to the font name search field). Here is how I have for testing, "color", "variable" etc fonts in separate folders (even testing "windows" fonts on mac). [image: 1637957331931-fontgroup-resized.png]

@vectoradmin said in Insert new object in layer panel when drawing with pen tool - exactly where you are: @Ingolf said in Insert new object in layer panel when drawing with pen tool - exactly where you are: They could be added to the context panel, toolbox, or create a new toolbox for these. Using Customize Toolboxes . I managed to create my own toolbox - but I will create a new thread for these options I found to be broken or illogical or both on both macOS and Windows.

ah OK. well that explains it..
