1.1 beta feedback - Indicator shapes preferences

Ingolf

Whow so many options - nice - just a few wishes

I need medium size for rhomb
I would leave out the rounded rectangle to provide space for medium sizes: -)
I don't need the start and end of path symbols, just the node type symbol, so a first option "Node type" would be great, otherwise I just can't see the node type as I can observing the other nodes
I suggest just one option for "Selected" whatever is selected - a color fx - that would greatly reduce complexity of the preferences.
The default color should be red in that case

VectorStyler

@Ingolf For point (4): these settings refer to the shape only, not the color.

Yes, but however you structure it, I don't recommened a seperate "selected" shape - just a easy to distinguish "selected" color and perhaps a bolder outline of the node. Your call.

Less code to maintain too.

Asking more about this because I'm not sure I'm following 100%. Are you asking for the selection bounding box or the selection around nodes and paths of a selected vector be one designated color? If that is an accurate understanding of your point, I'm not as keen on that solution because we recently coordinated any selection colors to tie in with the layer color - which makes it easy to see what layer the selection is on. If I was off on my understanding, I apologize!

Simply that when I click a node or a tangent handle, that it is filled with red instead of blue in addition to being marked with a black outline. All I need to distinguish it.

A major fault in other vector drawing programs is that many nodes and handles are displayed at once without proper and unique identification of the one thing you have selected and will modify. In vectorstyler you can click a node or handle and it is hightlighted with a black outline. Not enough if you ask me. With red I believe it is better understood by our brain. Another symbol representing selected is just adding complecity and confusion.
