  @Nils said in Artboard roles: So, for example, in the acyclic graph, a fill could be the leaf of an object node, right? And if this object then has another "fill style" leaf, that fill leaf gets redirected towards every other object that uses the fill style. Something along these lines correct ( fill style implementation could be different I guess? )? Yes, fill / stroke nodes can be shared in multiple branches. But the real value comes when sharing whole groups of objects. I see, this reminds me a lot Flutter's tree structure with configuration and render trees. Did you draw some inspiration there? If yes, nice work! Not inspired by, but I'm sure others have done something like this. It is quite common when an "abstract" model is slow to process, to have a parallel "realized / compiled" model. The basis for the VS document model was coded in 2013 (i just checked Flutter is started in 2015). Couldn't you just insert a locked rectangle in the tree upon artboard creation, which you'd then prevent from showing up in the layers panel? Would not really help and would create a lot of problems with Layers.

  @vectoradmin Thanks. How did I overlook that. Sigh.. However, I still think there'd be some value in separately stylable stroke-widths.. Especially since the other sub-attributes are already definable as styles.

  @vectoradmin Yes, for example a sub-menu enabling the following workflow: In the canvas panel, click the hamburger menu and select the "Expand to" sub-menu, then select either of "Canvas", expands to canvas level of if categories selected: specific categories else: all categories sub-menu "Artboard", then select either of "All", expands to artboard level of if categories selected: all canvases of specific categories elseif canvases selected ( ignore any selected categories ) : specific canvases elseif artboards selected: greyed out else: all canvases of all categories "{ x }", expands to artboard level of x = First: first canvases x = Integer: canvases at index ( a bit overkill, but there's always improvement to good UX.. ) x = Last: last canvases .. of if categories selected: specific categories elseif canvases/artboards selected: greyed out else: all categories p.s. : should have just written pseudo-code, lol

  @Boldline Looks like the node at the second click (upper right side) turns into cusp when the first node is clicked. Then clicking it as cusp will remove it.

  @vectoradmin interesting, but it's out of my league. I have dealt with html once, but it's been a looong time .

  @vectoradmin It would basically be the same as the node tool, but be augmented with the capability I described above. Alternatively, if that is impossible, it would only serve the purpose of selection in this way. This is to avoid going into deeply nested isolation modes times and again.

  @vectoradmin Oh yeah, I increased the snapping gap to 32 and that gets rid of the problem completely! This also solves the problem in the following topic I authored: https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/1714/increasing-the-object-rotation-center-s-snapping-radius-just-a-little-bit

  For anyone encountering this issue: This is solved by increasing the "Snapping Gap" option's value in Edit > Preferences > Editing Options.

  @vectoradmin Yeah, it's static in most other apps aswell. This isn't a very important request, but having the bounding box color automatically always be at a good contrast to the object color would be of "some" value, I guess...

  @Boldline said in Customizing context bar?: @vectoradmin are we getting enough snapping options in the far upper right corner that it would make sense to organize them in a drop-down panel like the alignment currently is nearby? That already exists in the form of the Snapping panel. But I think in this case clearing restrictions could also be a ModifierKey+ click on the button?

  @Nils Got it. That is the Brush Styles panel, I will fix the panel title. It is empty because there are no brush styles in the document (styles and presets are different).

  @vectoradmin said in Snapshop menu label: @Ingolf I only changed the "name" of the menu item. Should there be a default snapshot name also? forgot about that In theory yes, like in Lightroom. I never have a name for the snapshop, the time is usually a good hint.
