@VectorStyler Thank you. I was giving this a little more thought. To me, it would also make sense if the settings preset file was also available for direct link. I don't know if the best place for that is in the help menu because the user is more likely to have their own separate custom location for custom settings presets, maybe an option in the settings panel with a direct link to where the file is stored?

@William-Kansepa said in A better way of aligning Shape/Point Text: e.g. Align Left to Align Centre, the text shifts and does not maintain x coordinate. The problem is that in VS (as in AI) the text is aligned relative to a text position. This is not possible to change for now, but I will try to find a way to automatically "move" the text when alignment is changed (in some cases).

Thank you! Works great.

@VectorStyler said in Saving node selection: But the Selection saving for nodes it seems to not work (with the (+) button). I will fix this. @VectorStyler I can confirm that this is now functioning as expected in VS 1.2.0.25. Thank you.

@Boldline Yes, this is in the features backlog.

@VectorStyler The main thing is that the tool attribute bar appears once by clicking in the document, which is quite annoying, and this needs to be eliminated.

@William-Kansepa I will try to replicate this.

@monsterfox There is no such feature now. Not clear how this would work. What happens if the blue nodes on the left (36) are moved or the line is changed to a curve?

@William-Kansepa Thanks for explaining your thoughts on this. I agree with you completely. There are several examples like this in VS where the main task itself is a little more complex than it needs to be. VS has so many extra cool features that I don't want to compromise those either. I was asking you for more elaboration because we can all watch the video and pick up different things we like/dislike about the process being demonstrated. There's a value in articulating our own view and adding that to the conversation for improvement. I appreciate what you shared.

@VectorStyler Thank you! this will be an awesome improvement. At the risk of beating a dead horse, I would prefer it to NOT be a new tool in and of itself because I think it would be something a user would need occasionally, but not enough to go switch to a dedicated tool to do so. Hence why I was thinking a modifier key option while using the pen tool would suffice. Just my opinion. You would know best what fits the VS scheme!

@Boldline Currently the font is not included in the attribute copying. I added this to the feature backlog.

@Boldline said in Expand the color choosing options for the Bucket Fill Tool: So unless I am missing a step, I am unable to preemptively choose the color I want the selected shape to be filled with. I think that changing the color will work after the first bucket fill click. The problem is indeed that selecting the objects will update the current color. I will try to improve this.

@VectorStyler Thanks. There are two areas for improvement: allowing multiple selections in the preset list overlay and enabling the selected nodes to save presets. https://go.screenpal.com/watch/cZhllAVLiIa

@Harry Not for the export tool, only for printing. I will try to add it for export also.

@Teddy Keep critiquing because it will help the development of the UI/UX aspect of the program. Some aspects of application design is subjective to the general user, but with more input across the board, hopefully it becomes a lot clearer to the developer the best path to take for VS.

@monsterfox Got it. I will add this to the feature lists for 1.3

Great, thanks for the input @Li-Xiao and for the effort @VectorStyler !

@VectorStyler Look forward to a stronger VS.

@debraspicher So this would be some sort of ""Palette Editor" view. Yes I think it is possible.

@monsterfox Sorry, I gave the wrong example (the number keys are fixed). So first remove the "S" shortcut (assigned to the Pattern tool), and then create for example "S X" for some tool and "S Y" for another tool. This should work.
