      I would to tend to keep the triangle even on closed Paths.
      Because it indicates also where VectorStyler would place
      the Node if i inserting a Node.

        @Subpath 0_1726999854250_2.png This situation of yours should be due to the settings. My settings can display the path direction with a single click on the path. Therefore, I think the blue triangular arrows on the closed path are somewhat redundant.

          @VectorStyler I input your code, saved it and restarted the program. But I found it had no effect. Was there anything wrong? 0_1727001474871_1.png

            That triangle does not seem so obviously redundant to me.

            If you look at the circles in the picture, they are not combined,
            just selected and you can see at first glance which direction
            the path has for each circle.

            I know the blue triangle of course. If you only had the blue triangle
            you would have to look at each circle to know the direction of the path.

              @Subpath The direction of viewing the path is generally required only when it is mixed. At other times, the display does not have much significance. Or there may be other uses that I don't know.

                @monsterfox I will look into this before the next build.

                  I have tested that adding the <item id="separatepathstyleforopened" value="yes" type="bool"/> line to settings.xml is effective.

                    @monsterfox said in closed path:

                    I input your code, saved it and restarted the program. But I found it had no effect. Was there anything wrong?

                    From the screenshot it looks fine. But was VS running while you edited that file? You have to first exit VS and then make the changes.

                    I tested it here and it is working.

                      @VectorStyler This is where I'm puzzled.
                      I saw that LI XIAO succeeded in setting it up.
                      I asked him for this file and replaced my original file.
                      After I restarted the program. It still had no effect.
                      I also restored the default settings. It still didn't work.
                      I don't know where the problem lies.

                        @monsterfox I assume that VS is not running when you edit the settings file.

                        One other option is that you edited a settings file that is from a different VS version (maybe 1.1).
                        One way to check this is to change some settings in VS, exit and check if the settings.xml file date has been updated.
