v193 Transparency Tool –> Parent Objects (Picture Frame, Shape Objetcs / vs. Layer, Group)

[thomaso]

I would expect that the Transparency Gradient Tool applied to a parent object would affect a.) all instances/properties of this object and b.) its children, too.

Instead the transparency affects only its fill color (background behind nested child) + its stroke partially (its inner parts) – whereas it works as expected on objects with a higher layer hierarchy level (e.g. Layer layer and Group).

As a workaround I could apply the gradient to the child with disadvantages/restrictions:
• the gradient would require to become adjusted if the parent layer gets changed in its dimensions (e.g. to alter the clipped area of the child).
• the parent container wouldn't be affected by transparency, respectively its fill and stroke.

Hi @thomaso,

This is by design for all "low level" objects. I'll move this to feature requests.
