Noob Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 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! yaneczech and Matthias 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaneczech Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 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/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noob Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 @yaneczech Completely agree. I've yet to discover an application that handles curve precision as well as Glyphs. Amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
