@Igull Just keep in mind that a canvas can have multiple artboards. Anything else is not useful if you have simple needs, except maybe making the Canvas & Artboard panel (Option-A) visible.

@b77 said in Crop artboard to selection: @VectorStyler A name like 'Artboard Size to Selection' for the command would cover both situations — selection smaller OR bigger than the artboard. But it has to be a selection that overlaps at least partially the artboard, by this specifying which artboard is resized.

@Devil-Dinosaur Another option is to enter your username "Devil-Dinosaur" into the search field. Then all discussions in which your name appeared will be listed. The whole thing can be refined, e.g. to a specific time period. By clicking the search box options. The gear on the right side.

@encart interesting, but I find it a bit curious that in both cases a selection box is used. In the second case, in my opinion a simple line would be totally sufficient Edited: ok take it back a little if you have many small objects a selections box will make sense

@Boldline I think it could be there. What happens is that when a parametric (rectangle, ellipse, ...) shape is selected with the node tool, its properties should be editable from the context panel, and among those properties, there si also a button to convert.

@b77 said in Delete Path Segment: But I would go with it anyway, and think of a way to add the segment highlight later. That's exactly my thinking too Neil

@VectorStyler That's great, didn't know they were vectors, historically in Mac at least, you used to be able to edit them yourself in a small bit image editor (ResEdit) that was designed for editing "resources" - back when we used to display images on slate and the computers were run on boiling water Would probably be best to stick to the tool's own current operating cursor - just without the dot or tilde. Neil

@encart like that idea too

@Boldline I added this to the backlog. The required tools are already available, but not yet accessible.

@Boldline Use the Alignment panel size alignment options.

@VectorStyler thanks! I'm fine with it converting the result to inches after I type it in if that helps

@Igull said in Request change to Transform Panel: @Ingolf LOL, I see your four and raise you my three Illustrator [image: 1658257365740-illustrator-resized.png] Ah, I think we might be comparing apples and pears. It looks like context bars in your post, and floating panels in my post. So a chronic horizontal narrow static bar vs floating bars with a dynamic size.

@b77 lol I'm not opposed to your idea, I'm just asking questions on how it could be done. There are a lot of angles to this to consider; valuable space in the toolbar versus not having too long of a pullout. Users having control over what shape options are available where, etc.. I'm glad you're offering suggestions

@VectorStyler said in Option modifier when clicking on tab for recovered file should show the file in the recovery folder: We need to think about limiting the new options. Those will also need to be reorganized in the near future, as the Preferences view is too complex. If I am misunderstanding, let me know - but this topic sparked the idea about the maintenance section in the help menu. I wasn't wanting to add more preferences to the literal preferences section [image: 1657982941983-bb168598-a3d1-4749-9ae5-5caff2000796-bld-2022-07-16-at-10.48.51.png]

@VectorStyler said in Improving Grid Options: I will try to replicate this, checking preview should work. And I will move it to the new location. Checking again today, the preview works fine - maybe I was not noticing the changes last time and it seemed like it was not working to me. I know you mentioned already you would move the preview/refresh to a new location, but expanding a little on the topic in terms of user experience in case it helps; The way the setup is now, the preview is a checkbox, which by default makes me think of it not as an active button meant for clicking to refresh, but as a setting you either leave on or off - where the refresh would occur automatically when the checkmark is active. Maybe you want to leave the preview where it is but using that on/off function and then add the refresh at the bottom with the ok or cancel? @VectorStyler said in Improving Grid Options: Could make this a new document option. Sometimes a default grid is needed. I totally agree - there are times I like a default grid as well - but I also like the option to have it carry over or not. We're getting spoiled with all the levels of customization! Phase 7 sounds so far away lol - but that will really be great when it arrives - being able to easily create and share presets will help a lot of people expedite processes and get down to work faster on their projects.

@VectorStyler thanks for clarifying. Also thank you for hearing out our ideas and giving them all consideration and implementing them as they fit your overall vision - no matter how big or small, far fetched or realistic the suggestions and ideas are. I am sure I can speak for more than just myself here, it's awesome to be able to help improve VS with our ideas and testing. In a way we get to help mold it into a program we can use the way we best see fit and that's exciting

@Boldline It's late, but I'd like to point out a find i made in Object Roles. While I was looking for something different. Found it in Object > Object Role > More Roles. There is a Role called "Text on Path Style". The Manual says: "The object's text-on-path settings act like a text-on-path style". It's unclear to me how that works. But looks like some kind of preset for Text on Path? [image: 1657400295610-text-on-path-style.png]
