@VectorStyler said in Can the Bucket Fill Tool be improved by allowing it to create shapes based on negative space between paths?: I will add the fill/stroke in the next build. This will be a very helpful added function! thank you

@VectorStyler VS currently has several transformation tools that operate outside the selection box, and what is needed now is a tool that can operate within the selection box. Freehand and Ai both have tools that can be operated within it, and you can experience it.

@Boldline I will add this to the features backlog for now. I will try to find a solution for these issues.

@Boldline Should also be configurable in the Settings -> Modifiers section.

@VectorStyler I would say it is a very minor thing and I can live without it, don't want to overload VS, so let's stick with setting the stroke mode by now. This idea came to me from the way color fills are handled with the color wheel (fill and stroke fill). If you select colors from the color wheel, you can use the right mouse button for stroke fill without setting the stroke mode first. . . But I'm wondering what the right mouse menu is for when the color picker is active. I didn't understand the point of it. . . @Boldline ...Are you suggesting getting rid of the right-click menu... No, not really. See my answer to VS. But I was surprised about the right-click menu that you can call up when the color picker is active and I don't really understand its purpose.

@Boldline Will be fixed soon!

@monsterfox Maybe in later versions (requires a bit of work), the problem is that there is no "persistent" selection of these nodes, they are selected only while the mouse is pressed. But you can adjust the distortion precisely using the Shape Effects panel.

@Boldline said in Improvements to the Anchor point tool: then click on the same node again, the entire node is erased - is this the normal function? yes, this is by design. I will add this to the features backlog.

@William-Kansepa I added this to the backlog.

Apart from that i find it useful to select all Nodes of a Shape this way i find it also helpful for to add new Nodes the Corel Way Select a node, then press CTRL+A to select all nodes and then press "+" as many times as you need and you have evenly inserted Nodes all around the Shape Here a little Video

@Ayo said in Naming suggestion for Reset Transform: Reset Box Will be changed

@Ayo I will move it.

@Boldline Richness of Simplicity, vs can use something from it Back to topic

@VectorStyler Fair enough.. No problem! Lots of stuff to dive into already:+1 /BR Lars Herold

@Li-Xiao said in Corner Editing Nodes shift and distort shapes: @William-Kansepa It is recommended to use the shape panel to adjust the dimensions of the rectangle instead of using the transform panel. This way, you can avoid any distortion issues with the corners. @Li-Xiao, thank you. I tried your recommendation and it works as expected. I once had a go at the Shape panel in my early days working with VS and the only gripes I had with it was: Dimensions input through the Transform panel would not match those in the Shape panel Object size input from the Shape panel would differ from the one displaying in the Transform panel With the multitude of panels, tools, menu items and functions, VS is so overwhelming and unfortunately since I was a very raw beginner in the program, I was then forced to neglect this panel in order to minimize confusion. To this day, I still strongly believe that the Transform and Shape panels should be further integrated to act in harmony. They should both display similar dimensions. Illogical logic perhaps? After all, at the end of the day a dimension still remains as such. Would you agree with me that ideally in the real world one should be able to make manual transformations on the fly and still flawlessly achieve their desired objectives? There is need to introduce more fluidity or rather intuitiveness in VS to complement the otherwise rigidity of some of the panel/modal views and dialog boxes. Observe that in most graphic design software this is the norm. Once again, thanks for the tip.

@William-Kansepa I opened a bug on this one because it should already work with the "Register As Spot Color" palette panel menu option. But that option does not work with unnamed colors. I will extend this to be able to generate color names.

@Boldline said in File size warning indicator option: What about adding an option to warn the user with a popup if the VM file size reaches a certain level Maybe some other form of warning that a popup. Could be in the Document Info panel? But this slowdown issue is a concern, as it should not slow down even with a larger history. Was it slow when saving the file, or when trying to make changes (editing)?

I just need to be able to hide it 100% in a way that is also remembered between program starts. Sticky. I simply don't need tons of visual information that is not relevant for me, ever. Once I disable it, I will never enable it again.

@William-Kansepa Thank you. I also discovered when pressing F2, while I was trying to trigger OBS' replay function, that it will quickly rename Layers as well. Very handy.

@encart I added this to the backlog. Currently doable as pattern or scatter brush.
