@VectorStyler fiame text.zip Not all of these cases will work (depends on the shape text), send me an example. See attached video.

@VectorStyler yes, no problem

@VectorStyler yes, whatever name fits best in your system. Essentially it would allow the file to be modified but not automatically saved. Perhaps the only save option in that situation is manually with a “save as” only? Whatever you think is best.

@Boldline said in update 1.3.022: I can send an updated example file. Send me a file for this

@VectorStyler Ok thanks

@VectorStyler nah, it's mostly dead. All modern desktop environments are focused on first-class Wayland support. GNOME already dropped X11 support completely, KDE will drop it by the end of the year. Many new popular tiling managers like Hyprland or Sway are Wayland-native from the start. Older ones like Cinnamon and XFCE are actively working on Wayland support, but they are not as popular as they were in the past. Modern Ubuntu by default ships just its own flavor of GNOME, if you missed that part. Overall, a major part of Linux users still split mainly between GNOME and KDE. KDE recently has gained more popularity since SteamOS adopted it, and overall development has sped up. Also, there is a big surge in so-called atomic or immutable distributions: those have a fixed system image that is immutable; you cannot install or uninstall system packages, remove your DE accidentally, or mess up the dependencies. The only things you can change are config files and your /home directory. The main source of apps for those distros (e.g., Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite, Bazzite, SteamOS, etc.) is Flatpak and Docker/Podman containers. Basically it is similar to how modern smartphones function. So, again, with Flatpak you would cover both immutable and basic distros. By default, the Flatpak platform is not installed on Ubuntu, because Canonical has its own similar technology called Snap and its own store called Snap Store, but it can be easily installed using one command, though it usually makes sense to upload to both Snap Store and Flathub. If resources are limited, Flathub is preferred, since Snap support outside the Ubuntu ecosystem is questionable. From a developer's perspective, the key difference between Flatpak and Snap is how applications are distributed. Flatpak allows anyone to host their own repository, while Flathub serves as the default public repository. Snap, on the other hand, relies on Canonical's Snap Store, and developers cannot host their own independent repositories.

@encart I will try to replicate this

This is the same in Illustrator and it is needed as the current layer should always update from the layer of the last selected object. I can see that's how Illustrator works. I don't know the intrinsics of FreeHand but it seems like it keeps a Target Layer active, even when you select objects on other layers. Same in VS when Select Highlighted and Highlight Selected are UNchecked in Layer Panel Options. Using this command from the layers panel right-click menu will be impossible, since that menu applies commands on the selections made in the Layers panel, and this selection is updated on the right-click. Yes, it was obvious that Selections and Current Layer indication were messed up when right-clicking. I will add a current layer indicator in the Layers panel (this one is missing), and a new Layer panel specific command " Send into this Layer") Send into this Layer by right-clicking a Layer makes perfect sense UI-wise and will be a godsent ! Great - If you can come up with Current Layer indication a bit more clear than the shades of blue (in my case) , along with Visibility, Lock status, Color, Selection and Isolation! Illustrator uses the small corner indicator, FreeHand puts a pen icon in the layer row to show where new objects end up. Illustrator [image: 1784794976731-illu_layer_indic.png] FreeHand [image: 1784799570665-freehand_layer_indic.png] Off topic but Note btw. how FreeHand only marks up each selected object with a keyline of layer color but avoids the combined transform-bounding box, that tend to obscure things IMO. You can however double-click the selection to show transform handles for scale/rotate/skew interaction. Seen below.. [image: 1784803840792-freehand_transform.png] Thanks, Lars Herold

@VectorStyler I will open a new bug on this (probably a different issue) The issue is fixed in 1.3.022. thanks

@VectorStyler The combine option added in 1.3.022 resolved the issue completely. Thank you! The Overlay effect is pretty much perfect now.

I more or less replicated a pattern I found online. I couldn't resist using the "Along Stroke" feature in VectorStyler's gradient editor. [image: 1785256256579-rounded-quad-small.png]

@Li-Xiao said in Frame Text rendering & shifting issues in Transform Group: The text disappears after applying the Transform Group. This is a bit problematic for how the transform groups work, currently it is not possible to have frame text inside transform groups. I will try to fix this in the future
