Settings: retain certain values
-
@Pat That is the problem. Somehow VS cannot write to that file (access rights maybe).
I will try to replicate this on Windows 11 -
The problem with saving settings also occurs with me. I have tried several times to change the settings of the selected parameters and they are not saved.
Edit:
I deleted the settings.xml file and restarted the programme and it was back to normal. -
@VectorStyler I never had this issue before the beta. According to W11 this file can be written (file properties panel: the "read-only" box is unchecked).
@encart I did this yesterday and it was fine but the issue is back...
-

@Pat Also, remove the c:\Users<user name>\AppData\Local\NumericPath\VectorStyler1.0 folder it might contain some settings or preset that breaks things.
@VectorStyler No need to delete the "settings.xml" file from the Roaming folder? Did you solve this issue that occurred before ?

Not yet sure why it could not write this file. Try deleting it (will restore default settings) and changing the settings afterwards.
-
@VectorStyler Yes, I did so like @encart did too... but I have another issue with the Blend panel.
-
@VectorStyler Beta version installed alongside 1.1 and so far no issues: presets are saved and no crashes
-
@VectorStyler I can note, however, that it's difficult to dock a panel at the bottom of VS, below docked panels. A slight movement of the hand and the panel is horizontal and I had to try several times to position it vertically... it didn't work until it wanted to
-
@Pat There should be a blue highlight showing where the panel is docked.
I will try to improve the sensitivity of this. -
@VectorStyler Yes, indeed, but the movement window for which it appears is very narrow, and a very slight movement causes it to disappear. Thanks
-
@VectorStyler I wrote too fast... as long as the panels weren't reduced, there were no issues with the UI. After reducing them, stopping VS and reopening it, the toolbox and the whole second column of (reduced) docked panels attached to the first (far right) disappeared.
-
@Pat I will try to replicate this.
-
@VectorStyler Again I have this same issue. VS opens without toolbox and many docked panels although it indicates that the right workspace is in use:
W11 Pro 25H2 - 12th Gen Intel(R) i7-12700K 3.61 GHz - RAM 64 Go - NVIDIA GF GTX 4070 Ti - Intuos - Dell UP3216Q / Eizo ColorEdge
W11 Pro 25H2 - 12th Gen Intel(R) i7-12700KF 3.60 GHz -RAM 64 Go - NVIDIA GF GTX 3080 - IntuosPro- ProArt PA329C -

I opened a new bug on this one.
-
@VectorStyler I hope you could fix this bug. Always reloading the workspace each time you open the software is not very time-consuming but a bit annoying. I'm looking forward to installing the next update

It is still in the list of bugs, I will try to have it for the next build.
-
I'm not sure if this will help, but I think it might have something to do with this bug. A few days ago I hooked up a second monitor as a desktop extension. I dragged some panels there. After unplugging the second monitor VS still remembered the coordinates of the panels' positions. I tried selecting and deselecting them in the menu, but they did not appear. Only when I reloaded the .workspace file did it return to normal. Maybe in this case, too, the panels appear somewhere off-screen?

Could be a separate bug, but it is a bug nevertheless. I will try to replicate and fix this also.

In beta 1.2 the workspace is kept after the restart (at least here). I also tested with the workspace you sent me (regarding the Pen tool bug, which BTW was replicated).

I've restored defaults WKS, reposition some panels without reducing those & so far so good. The Tool box and the panels are always there when I open VS beta.
Great you could reproduce the issue
