@b77 Yes it should do that. But in this case for some reason it did not work, I have to test it more.

@Ingolf Well, everthing has its pro an cons. I am also fine with your idea of a panel and like it. Because it can contain more content.

@Ingolf I see what you did there. Thank you for the clarification.

@Boldline @vectoradmin what about some sort of "viewer" that shows the "delta" between the default settings and what the user has altered? This way you could get a short-list of any value you have changed from default.

@Jayanta-Das cool suggestion

@b77 awesome! I figured there was a good chance it already existed in there. thanks

@Victor-Vector said in Inspiration - less busy interface in Gravit Designer Pro: @Ingolf said in [Inspiration - less busy interface in Gravit Designer Pro] Interesting but in Blender the interface is extremely busy everywhere so I understand they make it optional to see this and that whereever they can. In the layers panel they show 5 icons and in a worst case 7. With the filter they are trying to put out a usability fire. In Vectorstyler the interface is generally pretty clean (except for the too many combine icons) and in the case of Vectorstyler I think the most elegant and user friendly method would be to just hide them like in Gravit. I think it would also work in Blender. I disagree, I think filters are a perfectly viable way to handle this particular interface situation that you have an issue with. Yeah, but if you take a close look, filters are often introduced when the interface gets complex and it is best to avoid that scenario alltogther if at all possible.

@vectoradmin Here why i choose the Envelope Shape Video: Why Envelope for Perspective [image: 1650871961964-why-envelope.png]

@b77 read a while ago that in India / Asia is a big corel user base. if you search for Corel Tutorials on Youtube you will note that.

@vectoradmin If i think about it i like the Option where the Shape Tool would also work on Clones the most. Because this way i will have more possibilities then with just a Symmetry Option in Shape Builder.

@vectoradmin hanks for the suggestion. I like the tool overall. That works ok but still leaves a think white line between the red and green in this case... it's not a bad thing for most purposes, but would be nice to have the option at some point for the totally clean cut. There are certain times that method is preferred. The cut out method still requires a fill shape, and cannot be a simply a stroke.

@Boldline Added this to the backlog.

@Subpath said in Opening existing VS files in full main artboard view: @Ingolf In Corel it is no problem to rename your View according to your needs. I know, but I never use and never used the proposed generic name in AD or Corel so it is a problem for me that I have to rename every viewpoint I create. When it pops up with a suggestion (like snapshots do already) it requires just hitting ENTER to accept it. Not a big deal and easy to figure out as a user. Renaming is a additional proces that is breaks creating a viewpoint into two actions - the second requiring a lot more. It is simply bad UI design.

@Devil-Dinosaur Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately, I don't experience what you have described. I have a group comprised of letter shapes. When I selected the group and only the group circle was selected, I wasn't able to change the color of any object. When I opened the group and selected each item in the group individually (holding shift and dragging so all the circles were selected), then I could change the color.

@Boldline said in File path in error dialogs: @Ingolf Seems like adding a non-working path would add confusion for sure. I'd think the name of the file would suffice and the user can go search for that easier But the filename is known - I just saw it and picked it in the open recent list. But I want to know what location it was opened from. Also searching if the file was on a now disconnected drive / USB stick will give zero results.

@Boldline This looks like a bug. Added it to the backlog.

@Boldline said in "Export Again" option to save as new exported file instead of copying over?: Instead I realized it actually saved over the first exported file. I can see both instances being useful - the ability to quickly export a file and then go in and make edits and export again expecting to get multiple variation results or expecting the file to be replaced each time you edit. This could be some kind of "Incremental Export Again" feature. I added this to the backlog.

@Boldline @b77 yes, something along these lines. The exact use cases and UI is not yet clarified so input is welcome.

@Nils said in Editing features ( mega-topic ) ( unimplemented ): @vectoradmin Why do not all fields have variable support? From a programming perspective that seems quite strange. Internal class "fields" or numeric "fields" in UI? I as referring to numeric fields in UI In VS, internal class "fields" are properties (there are very few fields as in C++ syntax). These can have variable support if stored as variants (a lot are not), or if a variable override sets them (possible for all). UI numeric "fields": these have an associated "formatter" that determines what is a correct input and how to interpret it. Most numeric fields have a number "formatter" type. These would need to be changed in resources.
