@b77 said in Handtracing mode for pen tool (smooth nodes unless key pressed): As usual the algorithms Serif code suck compared to Adobes, though. Yep, each new segment looks a bit deflated in your AD video. Anyway, a Curvature tool in on the Roadmap, in Phase 3. I also suggested it be implemented sooner than that. Ah, yes, but I hope it will not be a 1:1 implementation of the one in Illustrator - a separate tool. Using many different tools for a job is a thing from the physical world, here (in sofware) we can merge a few tools into one single tool. The beauty of what I have in Affinity Designer - even though the algorithms are a bit sloppy - is that it kind of does it right while only creating smooth nodes ad libitum. Correcting them manually later is easy and fast and doesn't require me to switch tool, toggle any settings or hit any keys. This is key when working with very detailed designs and art. When you have to draw hundreds and hundreds of nodes speed is important - not precision.

@VectorStyler said in Can it be made more difficult to select clipped objects not in view?: @Boldline said in Can it be made more difficult to select clipped objects not in view?: I was thinking if the main selection - the transform tool itself would not I think the main transform tool is not be able to select into clipped groups. If it does so, then it is a bug. My fault - I was not thinking of it clearly - the transform tool does not select clipped/hidden individual items. So the transform tool is not relevant to this.

Yes please, enabled by default. It is a nightmare in Affinity Designer, that it is not.

@Ingolf said in Drop shadow offset: @VectorStyler BTW when I add a drop shadow effect the color is black but transparent in the image effect settings. If I click it the color is changed to white. Will fix this.

@Boldline Local Layering, I think it has been requested before. It is in the features backlog, but after 1.2

@VectorStyler Just noticed that also the layer thumbnail is updated when renaming some of its content, also not needed.

@Ingolf I have to see if this conflicts with some shortcuts of the node editor. Added this to the backlog.

@Boldline Added this to the backlog.

@b77 said in Align single object to the artboard without enabling the special button for that: Any drawbacks to this simple solution? Yes, that sounds like a plan Neil

@Jayanta-Das said in reposition new shapes or box drag selections with the space bar before committing to a press release: it seem there is some delay in the movement of the object Yes, this could happen while holding the space key, especially on Windows. I will try to improve it.

@Ingolf said in Deleting values in layers transparency: Indeed it does - but the transparency panel itself does nothing now? No effect of any value using sliders or keyboard? Regression, will be fixed ASAP.

@Ingolf Added this to the backlog as a bug.

@VectorStyler said in Guideline Position Field: @Igull This issue should be fixed in build 1.1.062 Yes, the position indicator is now out of the way, thanks. However :-(( When testing this, I notice that guidelines (X or Y) are only able to snap to the bounding box or centre of an object ? Snapping is enabled along with snapping to points/guidelines/objects/collisions - tried various combos, but no luck. Vid attached. No guideline snap Neil

@Boldline said in Improving the Polygonal Lasso: what are your thoughts on adding a slight magnetic pull to "close" where once the selection closes I added this to the backlog.

@Boldline This issue should be fixed in build 1.1.062

@Boldline This feature should be available in build 1.1.062

@SJStalter said in Scroll Through Color Palettes: Bummer-so complicated. How to get my 15 color palettes into a group? I have my 15 color palettes in one folder. Is that the problem? Does each color palette I create and save have to be in its own folder? When I create a color group I don't see it anywhere. Sorry no instructions are clear to me. I did the add folder thing but its a folder of all 15 palettes. I restart program and I don't see what you show above. Maybe I'm too dense or maybe I need clearer steps. Above you say "Can be created/managed with the palette panel menu commands." Well thats all well and good but how to manage? No instructions. Sorry for the late answer. Yes, those 15 color palettes will stay separate (in separate panels). The only way to make them a single palette is to create a new palette and drag&drop those colors from the other palette.

@Boldline This feature should be available in build 1.1.062 (reported twice, but I somehow missed it

@VectorStyler Clipping groups are shown now with the proper name in the Layers panel.

@Boldline This issue should be fixed in build 1.1.062
