  1. Hey Dan, thanks very much for the consideration! (Delayed response...). Cheers, - pbass
  2. Very helpful indeed, Dan! Tell me, any possibility of a movable/custom-placeable Trash icon in the future?? Though right-handed (wielding Apple Pencil in right hand), I like the interface in Left-Handed Mode (Studio accessible to left hand). If I could just get the Trash back over where my left thumb could reach it, I'd be happy. (Frankly, I'd love the tool bar and Studio to be at the left, but I don't think that much customizability is in the cards...)
  3. Old topic, I know – cuz when I forum-search for 'Delete Object Gesture' I get a sea of threads dating back to V2 beta. As of May 2023, is there finally a simple, dedicated gesture for this (on Designer iPad); or do we still need to either use the Trash icon or bring up the Quick Menu & choose Delete there?? I could manage with just the Trash Icon IF it were custom-moveable to where it's handy for me. Otherwise, I feel the Quick Menu is too indirect for a command that I use dozens of times per session. Anyone else feel this way?? [By the way, for me, 3 finger gestures are a bust; on my iPad 3 fingers Zoom & Unzoom the screen.]
  4. You guys are well-oiled machine. Every time I forget about updates, one turns up – usually an excellent, meaty one, like this. I hope you're proud of your team! There aren't many devs so creative and productive. I'm really excited to see what you come up with as Designer for iPad! cheers, - pbass
  5. Yes, some kind of icon on the Layers palette would be great. Only a minority of graphics people keep a keyboard connected to their iPad – otherwise most of us would just use a laptop.
  6. Maybe you could include the idea of an 'S' (for 'Solo') button in the Layers panel – or perhaps 'I' (for isolate), would be more appropriate. Thanks, - pbass
  7. I appreciate it! Saves me the trouble. cheers, - pbass
  8. Thanks MEB. Boy, that is a feature I use constantly, on desktop. :^/ It's the quickest way to compare your work to your original; and lets you compare the current histogram to the original. I would really like layer isolation to be available on iPad, even when no keyboard is attached. Audio mixing desks/boards (which let you blend tracks or channels – like layers) have an isolation feature called Solo – there's usually a button labeled with an 'S', on each channel strip. That'd be massively helpful for Layers. Cheers, - pbass
  9. Hi, In Photo for iPad, what is the equivalent of Option-Clicking a layer, to (in audio terms) 'Mute' all the other layers temporarily? I.e., to visually isolate a layer's display. Thanks in advance, - pbass
  10. Ok, a lightbulb just went on! I had thought that Pencil tool could start off with a 'Texture Line' Style (i.e., a vector brush); but I realize now that when you select that kind of Stroke, it automatically goes back to pure vector line ('Solid Line' Style). I hadn't noticed that before. You can change a Pencil line's Stroke to 'Texture Line', after the fact; but not while drawing. Got it. The developers' choice of a double-sphere colour-picker for the vector Brush tool confused me – with no fill available, it can only have a stroke, right? (Even if the stroke is derived from bit-map image.)
  11. I see I made typos in my OP, and referred to the Pen tool when I meant Pencil tool – now corrected. I was pointing out the differences between the Pencil tool (not the Pen tool) and the Brush tool – both of which can draw vectors with 'Texture Line Style'. {<—My misapprehension, see next post.} (Although the Pencil can have a fill, I'm talking about both tool's Stroke.) Wondering specifically about the reason for the Pencil & Brush's different Colour-pickers.
  12. {I mistakenly said Pen tool a couple of times (corrected); I meant to only compare Pencil & Brush in Draw Persona.} In Draw Persona, both the Brush tool and the Pencil tool {<—wrong! see below} can be used to draw with vector brushes (StrokePalette>Style>'Texture Line'). The obvious differences between Brush & Pencil (that I can see) are: - The last drawn Pencil tool line is automatically selected – not so for Brush tool. (This would be my criteria for picking one over the other.) - A Brush tool line cannot have a fill. - While the Pencil tool's stroke colour can be chosen with the Colour-Pickers 'stroke' ring, when you use the Brush, the Colour-Picker switches to two 'fill' circles. ¿ What is the thinking behind this? Why does the vector Brush's Colour Picker have two circles? thanks, - pbass
  13. [Designer] Hi, Is there another way to convert nodes, other than going to the Pen or Node Tool's Contextual (horizontal) Toolbar, and pressing buttons? Like, shortcuts for: Convert to Sharp or Smooth node? Or Reverse Curve? I already have keyboard shortcuts for Close and Break Curve – whose toolbar buttons are right beside the Convert ones. But those are the only Pen or Node Tool shortcuts I could find in the Prefs. Two related things I would love: - A way to 'pull' Control Handles out of a sharp node (or pop them back in to make a sharp point), via some modifier key(s) with the node tool. (Like: after-the-fact editing of a path, not while drawing it.) and - When you're manipulating one of a node's Control Handles, for a certain modifier key(s) to cause its opposing handle do the exact same thing – i.e., stay in perfect symmetry/mirror image. Including, on a non-smooth node, the control handle angle. That would be _so_ handy! (It's available with 3rd party Illustrator plugins) Thanks for your attention! - pbass
  14. Anyone see the animated movie 'Coraline' (2009)? In a sinister parallel world, the heroine's family all have black buttons for eyes. Über creepy; and symbolic of surface personality that doesn't match what's going on inside the person! Well I'm wary of what's going on inside those flowers. ~:^{
