@vectoradmin yes, I'd suggest moving the brush sizing over more to the left anyway, it's probably one of the more used adjustments one would make while that contextual menu is showing

@vectoradmin I submitted.

@Jae There are additional improvements for the pen / node tool in the new build 201

@Boldline Using solid stroke as a default brush should work in the new build 201

@vectoradmin Yes - the original shape was an all vector SVG.

@vectoradmin just installed it and works perfectly now

@Jae The intersection mode problem is fixed in build 198.

The new build (198) fixes these issues on Windows: fixed: single key shortcuts were broken. fixed: when in full screen mode, first covered the task bar then the top area was moved out of the screen (hiding the menu bar). modifiers for pencil, pen and node editor tools are fixed. The documentation update is still in progress

@Boldline The WIndows installer is signed now with EV code certificate. This should have a better user experience in installing

@curvy1 There is only Windows 10 version planned for now.

thanks @badcat - that solved it. I'm not sure how I turned it off but it wasn't intentional and then I was thinking it was a preference option I needed to use. thanks for the help!

Much better, thanks!

It seems to be working now! Thanks!

@b77 That's a great tip, thanks a lot!

Thanks for your reply!

I also am very grateful for Vectorstyler and the dev team putting this together. I am currently clinging to Adobe CS6 as I remain hopeful for a replacement app more powerful to replace it. I am completely opposed to subscriptions and much prefer the alternative solutions many software companies are using. I like the system Serif uses and also the proposed one VS will offer. I want to support developers and pay for the software that allows me to do work that pays my own bills - I just don't want a draconian overpriced subscription service as my only option. I was/am a fan of Affinity and have used it wherever possible over Illustrator but always end up back in Illustrator to finish off designs I started in Affinity on ipad or desktop. Unfortunately, Affinity is on a slow improvement track and vital tools I use daily for work are long promised and slowly delivered. I love the responsiveness of the VS dev team and their willingness to listen to our ideas and consider them and then to even implement them in short time frames. It makes me feel proud to see input I've given as a professional vector artist, show up in an app that will benefit so many. I'm sure many of us feel that way. I'm also so impressed with the sheer number of options and abilities for what can be accomplished in a vector app. VS blows away Illustrator, Affinity, Corel, etc... It becomes more user friendly and ready for RC all the time. Thank you for dedicating yourselves to making this a great solution for those of us stranded by Adobe and Affinity in some ways and other apps.

You changed this so quickly! Very impressive, thanks!

You could try in the Preferences -> Performance, if Metal is visible, and how it performs. In Sierra, metal compute was not yet complete, so probably there should be OpenCL. For display mode, try if Metal works, if not OpenGL. For your config, probably Metal for Display Mode and OpenCL for compute. Software is a last resort. For compute it can be acceptable if you have cores, but for display it can be slow.

The text on path view has been rearranged and a bend mode was added to the Transform modes. This also works with the interactive text on path tool to adjust the text along the path. [image: 1602333182393-icon2.png]

For the drag ad drop in the Layers panel: drag the group object (or single object) over the label (name) of the target object in the panel. There are two types of indicators that may show while dragging the object over another: placing before or after the object is shown with a narrow blue line between two objects (in the panel). placing inside the object is shown with a wide blue highlight over the target object.
