Suggestions and Improvements: Part 1


Recommended Posts

Here is a list of suggestions and improvements I've come up with. Mostly personal preferences, but perhaps others would like to see some as well.

 

Functionality

  • Preserve curves when deleting non-extrema nodes (see Glyphs.app)
  • Keyboard shortcut to cycle through nodes
  • Keyboard shortcut for closing and joining paths
  • Show distance between objects when moving them (see Sketch.app)
  • "Option + Hover" to see distance between objects (see Sketch.app)
  • Objects automatically change to color picked from eye dropper (see Sketch.app)
  • Smart Layer Export – export all layers with a file extension in name (LayerName.png)
  • Show guideline position on document when hovering the ruler (see Sketch.app)

Miscellaneous

  • Glyphs panel for including all characters within a font
  • Remove vertical rotate handle on bounding-box (redundant and distracting)
  • Folder icon for grouped layers (easier to distinguish)
  • Add left/right padding to "Studio" panel tab titles (text is very cramped)
  • Option for disabling decimal values (coordinates, width, height, font size, etc.)
  • Simpler, non-gradient bounding box handles (they are blurry and distracting)
  • Infinite canvas (mentioned by others before in forum)

Additions 

  • Enable snapping when nudging vector nodes with the keyboard
  • Option to not insert empty layer for new documents in AD

 

Cheers!

In general, handling with curves is really superb in the Glyphs.app (www.glyphsapp.com). Deleting of needless points with keeping the basic shape is a great feature, as well as selecting handle's point and moving it with keyboard directional keys. This improves the precision of designing to another level. You can also inspire yourself in the FontLab IV Preview (http://www.fontlab.com/font-editor/fontlab-vi/)
