Align / Distribute and object resize improvements

[gabriel_komorov]

Finally I had time to play more with AD and here my two biggest gripes atm:

 

1. Why on earth keyboard shortcuts to align/distribute don't respect settings? In dropodown window I have set for example "last selcted" and from there it works as it should, but keyboard shortcut or even button on toolbar ignores this and always aligns to selection bounds. Also last selected object is inversly detected when selecting by click and drag.

 

2. When resizing text by diagonal handle, default behavior is to scale it proportionally, but when resizing other objects to do so I must hold Shift - it's very unintuitive

You're absolutely 100% right !!! These are also our two biggest problems with AD.

 

These weird behaviours are very non-productive, so we really hope they are going to fix them ( bugs ? ) in the next releases !

 

At the moment, are there workarounds to fix them ?

There is "preference > tools" you can select in the default tab "move tool aspect constrain" into "constrain by default" when you what to scale it proportionally, use <ALT> + <resize object> Maybe this makes you more convenient.
