@vectoradmin Thank you for the explanation. That makes a lot more sense now. I knew VS has a built-in font manager. I have been planning to look further into it and see how I could best make use of it.

@freggern The spell checker is using the system spell checker. The hyphenation is based on hunspell. There is no public folder yet for adding hyphenation dictionaries, but it can be added app folder in VectorStyler/zeta/data/locale/ EDIT: but it also need a manifest file to work, see "hyph_english_us.hyphen"

@PatrickM The fix for earlier blend issue will be in the next build. But this latest reported issue is not replicated yet.

@b77 Yes, I think the solution is to make Separate Path smarter.

@Boldline It is "Selection Outline Nodes"

@Boldline Spot colors should always show up on plates at full opacity, unless the user changed the opacity of the object or used the spot color in a gradient. VS can import and use spot colors like this: https://recordit.co/YvSK8MRtio @vectoradmin I don't know if you can define any color as a spot color, but if VS can do this, then objects in that (new) spot color should show on a separate plate, and in opaque black (100% like BL explained above), not 50, 32 or 87.

@encart Thank you. I will try to reproduce the steps I did to identify my mistake.

Ok, I find the way... had to select the artboard tool ! Cheers

Great, thanks. There are so many (useful & great) features in VS that a new user need a bit of time to find her/his way...

@b77 Yes.. it's what i was looking for.. something quick and easy Thanks for your help

@Boldline These are tied into the workspace (along with other panel states), which can also be saved / loaded.

Made the time, reset the default system font, VS now displays text. Still have 40 days of trial to evaluate. Thanks for your assistance and solution.

@Boldline This is a bit of a problem: the shape picker tool picks and applies shapes. In case of point text, the whole thing is a shape (text + formatting). It would be difficult to make exception for one shape type. Maybe in this case the Edit -> Attributes -> Copy / Paste Character Style would be a better option?

@vectoradmin @b77 - yes I already had "Enable the: Preferences -> Editing Options -> Show Nodes of Selected Shapes" selected prior to this screenshot. I think this issue is more user error on my part looking at it fresh today. The nodes when selected in this case turn a dark blue and are hard to see. see first pic below: (What setting in preferences>user interface> interaction indicators changes that color from blue? Same with handles? Thanks in advance) [image: 1636306266183-0265805b-90bf-42ea-aa39-f7e32f0e5bad-image-resized.png] This is what I'm used to in Illustrator - in the pic below, I have numerous red shapes I grouped together into one group. the light blue outline of the selection is around all the shapes contained within that group. The highlight around each piece and the nodes can be hidden by pressing command-H, resulting in the last image below. I like having the option to show all parts of a grouping, and the ability to hide the selection interior depending on what I am doing on screen [image: 1636306850911-b274f064-4d98-4ede-a707-76cf5878565e-image.png] [image: 1636307228384-7d32afff-f76a-4ffa-b7ef-48c2b60869dd-image.png]

Actually I'm using a large trackpad with gesture control -- similar to the Apple Magic Trackpad -- not a mouse.

@vectoradmin Thank you! Now it's fine. Edit: Deselecting these two fixed the problem with renaming as well.

Yes there is is !! Under Panel options uncheck 'open selected' Happy Days

@Boldline said in Could Magic Wand work while any other tool is selected?: Part of the confusion for me is that the magic wand/polygon lasso/box icon does not turn blue when selected like the other tools in the toolbar do. Each of them, I think, is just a selection mode. Therefore, it does not highlight blue. It is not a tool in itself. At least I haven't figured it out yet. It might as well land on the contextual bar.

@vectoradmin ok yes it works. I did not have the "text on path" tool selected first. Thank you

@b77 said in Resetting the Workspace on Mac: @Prevalent-Arts said in Resetting the Workspace on Mac: The second did not for an odd reason. Must be one of those bad MacBook keyboards… Yeah I'm not sure. But at least I now have the solution.
