@Ayo said in About the Snap feature:
Wouldn't it be better to change "Snap to Visible Only" to "Snap to View Extend Only" or shorter "Snap to Viewport Only" or even shorter "Snap to View Only" ?
There is a big chance of confusion with the term 'visible' which is mainly linked to the layer system.
I added this to the backlog.
@VectorStyler Both scrolling (with the trackpad) and dragging the scrollbar feel about the same — a bit faster than necessary.
(Isn't the scrollbar size linked to the list length? If it is, probably making it a bit shorter could help).
@VectorStyler said in Horizontal and vertical artboards spacing:
@Harry Added this to the backlog.
In the "Artboards" tab, there is a Layout drop down, where more layout options can be edited with "Edit Layout"
Thanks, I missed that one - but it lacks the increasing or decreasing direction of artboards which does a great job in "New" tab.
BTW - what's the difference between the artboard configuration made by the "New" and "Artboard" tabs? Wouldn't be easier to have just one tab with all combined features to set up artboards?
@VectorStyler said in Image to color palette, notice and suggestion:
thanks
An observation: some images (JPEG) may contain small / difficult to see color variations.
would and have not used JPEGs too to create a color palette from an image
because I know that could be (maybe because of JPEG compression artifacts)
@Subpath I agree. I always feel like I need to preface my requests on the forum with "This is probably already in the program but I could not find it by myself,"
It feels like everything is already implemented or if not, it's already been suggested and added to the queue to be added in a future update.
@VectorStyler said in Inserting Nodes with the "+" Key Behavior:
Do you need to select all nodes for this case? that is possible.
yes, because i often use it for divide parts of path
and also to divide a whole Shape
i like this kind of behaviour from CorelDraw
and have no really needs for the VS way to do this
I can add this to the backlog, to have a settings to keep the original nodes also selected.
this would be nice and helpful
if the old selected nodes and the newly
created nodes remained selected
@Subpath yes. What is great about most vector programs is that there's always multiple ways to accomplish a task. I do a lot of things with clipping masks and the like in VS and love it.
My goal with the original post is to see if that level of efficiency found with the fill tool in Affinity Beta can be added to what the shape builder can do in VS - but allowing for a non-destructive result (original shapes are not destroyed in the process), no strokes added by VS in the process and stroke path used to define new shapes is left intact.
@VectorStyler said in Transform Objects, randomness improving:
For the randomization without copying, enable the Transform Each option.
Great ! Love it
@Ingolf This already exists, but there isn't much room left for modifiers, so this was unassigned.
In Preferences -> Modifiers, find the "Swap Smooth Pen Clicking" (could be in the All list), and assign a key.
Just for the record
The last time I launched Magix Graphics Designer 19
i noticed that there was something similar.
Here a Video

@Subpath Thanks to take the time to give a feedback
Yes I know this but the idea is to organize an artboard for page layout with specific guides for that purpose
While waiting for this feature (hopefully) I’ll organize guides & grids.
@Boldline Something like this already exists:
try the Outline ZigZag for zigzag and wave shape overlays.
try the Overlay shape filter to use custom shape overlays. the only issue here is that you need to define your own custom shape profiles.
Here is an example of using custom overlay shapes:
Select the waving ellipse, and in the Shape Effects panel, open the Overlay shape filter options.
Here (among other options) it is possible to change the Shape to any open shape that has the "Shape" role.
Two examples are on the top of the artboard, and listed in the Shape drop down.
