New user, i stuck with a simple thing

Subpath

It was not possible to close VectorStyler at that time because the whole
program area was a mess. There was nothing that looked like a user
interface anymore.

Only an impressive video art-like image with smashed abstract things.
I could quit Vectorstyler or the rest of it, only via the task manager.

And both cases where it was by me, was when i convert a Artistic Brush
in Bitmap, trace it and try to figure out how to make the nodes then editable for me.

VectorStyler

@Subpath2 Sounds like a DirectX display problem.
Artistic brushes are vectors in VS, there should be no need for tracing to expand.
Was there some bitmap brush that needed tracing?

encart

Only closing from the task manager was possible.

Subpath

@vectoradmin

No, there was no bitmap Brush that need tracing.

I know that Artistic Brushes are Vector in VectorStyler.
And as i wrote in my above Post i have convert a Artistic Brush to a
Bitmap and trace it only as a "workaround". To convert this way a Artistic
Brush in a Shape/Curve.

Because at this time i did not know how do Convert
the Artistic Brush in Curve/Shape.

@vectorstyler I primarily use VS on my Mac, but I do have VS on a Windows laptop as well. Is there anything specific we can do to help you find these bugs in the Windows version?

VectorStyler

@Boldline It looks like after long time of use, the UI display might break. Not clear yet how long it need to be used.
Seems to be some kind of resource leak.

I added this to the backlog and will try to replicate it.

It maybe useful for you. Sometimes when I'm not sure if something is possible Im typing in search field keyword .
A few day ago I was wondering if I can select locked object, and the answer was there

The entire customize menu is worth attention:)

Subpath

@encart , thanks for the tip. I will have a look at it.

Subpath

@vectoradmin , I am not sure about "... after a long time of use". Because in my cases I think VS ran maybe 1 hour but i think rather lesser. As far as I remember.

Good to know. I will try to replicate it.

Subpath

@vectoradmin , thank you for your very clear and well description of the differences between Brush and Stroke in VS. I appreciate it!

@vectoradmin Have these glitches now.

Is there anything what would help you? I'm keeping VS opened now.

I left VS opened for a few hours , drew a rectangle, rouunded the corners and clicked an arrow button near stroke input field. I'm showing that at the begining.

Subpath

@encart , @vectoradmin,

Yes, these glitches looked the same by me.
Apart from the fact that they went over the entire VS Ui area.

I will try to replicate using this. Was VS used while open in those few hours, or just left open and then used?

In both of my two cases it was used.
I fiddled around with vector to bitmap and traced the bitmap to vector.
Then tried to figure out how I could make the result editable.
As I wrote above.

@Subpath2 The problem has been replicated. Will try to fix it for the next build.

Subpath

@vectoradmin ,

Very nice to hear, thanks !

VectorStyler

@Subpath2 The Windows glitching issue has been identified and fixed in the new build 1.0.053
