Recolor woes

VectorStyler

@syllie I understand, you just need to be able to change selection without closing the dialog.

@syllie The recolor view has been improved, it is still a dialog but it should behave better with the patterns.

@VectorStyler The issues with Replace Color > Color from Palette seem resolved. Still testing through but the files that were misbehaving before now get recoloured as expected. And cancel is indeed understood as cancel. Very happy with that!

Tiny inconvenience: if you click repeatedly on the 'Starting' counter, it occasionally skips numbers. https://go.screenpal.com/watch/cTnljynhrb5

Numbers changing is also possible and works
better on the left side of Number fields

Set your mouse pointer upon the "Starting" Text
press left mouse button and move the mouse
up or down. That should also change the numbers
and is more precise.

@VectorStyler

That number skipping by using that little arrows
is often the case, which make them more or less useless.

I often use the drag Mouse methode on the left side
because of that.

VectorStyler

@Subpath I will find a solution for this.

syllie

@Subpath Thanks for your input, and also the follow up with the other counters where you noticed skipping. For my case I just want increments +1/-1 and pressing the up or down arrow is faster and should be more precise than holding down a mouse button and dragging. Happy it is on the list to look into

@syllie

Yes, there are different ways to change numbers.
I prefer to work with just the mouse and find using the
arrow keys is indeed helpful but not particularly comfortable
for me, as as a right-handed person you have to leave the
mouse to do so.

@VectorStyler
Using the mouse wheel works pretty precisely too. Unfortunately
not in all fields and not always in the same way. The steps are not
always the same (sometimes 1, sometimes 0.1 or more random)
.
.
It would be nice if changing a Value in a Number field
would work similar in all Number fields.

for me that includes also

up = 1

Shift + up = 10 Steps

Control + up = 0.1

down = -1

Shift + up = -10 Steps

Control + up = - 0.1

I will try to replicate.

@VectorStyler

I did a Test in the Transform Panel (Object >Transform > Tranform)
OK, i realize that this may be a case by using the Mouse wheel.
Using the Arrow keys work fine.

will record a video later

Subpath

@VectorStyler

Here the Video, this is the Transform Panel only
Object > Transform > Transform
but the ( Mouse wheel ? ) Problem exist in more
Number fields

Here the video

There is some Number skipping too, using the Mouse scroll wheel
and i dont understand why 0.? was using in % i am fine
with +1/-1 and using the Control Button if i need smaller steps

Not clear what is the issue here? is it the decimanls in % mode?

Subpath

@VectorStyler

Sorry, my mistake the Skew Number field is in degrees °
but the numbers steps goes like this 2.5 °, 3.8 ° etc. instead
of 1, 2, 3 ... and so on. The same goes for Rotate.

this must be an error in the resources. I will fix it ASAP

Subpath

@VectorStyler

As already said thats only happen when using the Mouse scroll wheel
in that Number fields, the arrow keys work expected counting 1, 2, 3° ect
