  @vectoradmin Well… the save button could go in just 4 or 5 steps from gray to red. Or all this could be optional — time elapsed or modified status — the same way the user can choose what info is displayed in the space at the bottom of the window. OK, it's a minor thing anyway.

  @Ingolf This type of snapping will be added (not yet available) Meanwhile, a workaround could be to enable View -> Guides -> Snap to Points and make sure that in the Snapping panel menu the "Snap to Original" is enabled. In the next build, the node customization will solve the arrow issue also, by allowing the setting of start/end shapes separately.

  Logic insertions of new objects depending on default behavior - or chosen option

  @Boldline said in Logic insertions of new objects depending on default behavior - or chosen option: I don't mind if there are contextual menu buttons for creating/pasting above, below, inside and top, as long as key commands are also still available to be set for all options available. If the default behavior for inserting shapes is changed as I suggested, the need for the menu buttons in the default configuration is greatly reduced. The most important thing is that the default behavior is logic and predictable like in Illustrator, Affinity, CorelDRAW that the related actions work as intended as well when used (creating or pasting) that the non-default create object actions are only active for one use (preference setting I guess) indeed that shortcuts can be assigned I searched for all the actions you and I described and they can all be assigned a keyboard shortcut.

  @Ingolf I will add this to the backlog, as an improvement idea. The right click could be doable (no need for context menu in this case). Also the brush width will be added to the context panel.

  @Ingolf I will add these to the backlog. Some are easy to do as options. A status bar is planned to be implemented in the near future. I will try to fix the panel redraw issue. The problem is with the Windows port.

  @vectoradmin ok I can see what you mean - the option "Paste Above" has a key command just as "Paste Below" does.

  @encart Maybe some cases of these can be handled with batch export, or object export? (using the Object Export panel)

  I don't know if this is really helpful. But for Windows users there is a somewhat unusual solution. If you can spare a few Bucks ($30.-). The tool is called "LazyNezumi" and is actually meant for bitmap programs but works also with vector programs (e.g. Affinity Designer). Also with VectorSTyler, tested. But you have to turn off line smoothing. This tool captures the window of your graphics program, from then on you can use the rulers as if they were built in. The ruler mode can be switched on and off. Besides, you can say that it has a lot more to offer than just a perspective ruler. Here there Homepage LazyNezumi Here how to start with How to Start Btw. dont forget that you can paint your Design in a Bitmap Program and trace it later with VS build in Vector Tracer.

  @encart You post reminded me of what Affinity and Illustrator CC offer with a new document setup menu. I use one size document most of the time, but I know I'd appreciate being able to open a predefined artboard setup based on intended use built in to VS. It would also be nice to store several artboard sizes in a personalized presets section
