I'd like to create and start using brushes and I see that it's also possible to save them as presets and/or styles. Is this the same concept for brushes?
yes, same concept.
Where are they saved (can I select a specific directory)?
Styles are saved only in the document
Presets are saved in the app user folder (similar place as the settings and workspace).
It is possible to create additional presets folders, in Preset Manager -> Create Group
Then when saving new presets and giving the name, select the group. -
@VectorStyler Thank you for your invaluable help

Also, I'd like to change the size of a complex blended object and I can't find the option to adapt the strokes. They keep their size and all the object's nuances become masked by the strokes.
Group the blend with its two sources and on the group enable Object Options -> Geometry -> Transformed Stroke.
@VectorStyler Well, it is not ok...
Before:
After [Object Options -> Geometry -> Transformed Stroke]

@Pat I opened a bug on this one.
Are these stroke styles inside a blend object?
-
@VectorStyler yes, it is.
I've sent you this file before, but I can send it again if you need it. -
@Pat Please send it again, the version on the screenshot.

@VectorStyler File sent

@VectorStyler I don't know if this should be fixed but it is not, and playing with stroke width leads to weird effects.

Not yet fixed, but there are issues with replicating.
In the example, there was a Shape Effect on top of the blend group.
Shape effects do not scale strokes (by default), but it can be set of "expand" and the "distort" strokes. -

I will try to replicate this.
