    Well it's been a stress few week for old shapesalad... why's that? Oh... I've not had to use Illustrator, until today...

    I've said it many times, requested it with adobe's feedback thing... for the love of god, add one line of if then code and switch the watch selection thingy from fill to stroke if I select an object that only has a fill on it or only has a stroke on it. One simple if then. So that when I select an object and quickly go to eyedropper the colour etc, it doesn't FUCKING add a fill to a stoke only object, or add a FUCKING stroke to a fill only object.

    Fuck with this shit.

    Yes thanks for adding another step to the workflow Adobe, press X ok.. great.. have a nice day you cunts at adobe.

    • In my rage I didn't proof read, apologies.shapesalad
    • what the fuck does any of this mean?hans_glib
    • it means extra clicks to remove the new stroke/fill added for no good reason

      multiply that with dozens of objects in an illustration...

    • yes, that ^ thank you. Most softwares, concept is, select object, can adjust object.shapesalad
    • Illustrator = select a shape with only a stroke, try to adjust it's colour, adds a fill as focus was left on fill in tool bar swatch thingy.shapesalad
    • doesn't every graphic app do this - colour whatever the focus is on, be it stroke or fill. simply select which you want to work on before you change colour.hans_glib
    • illustrator sits on what the focus is at the left tool bar panel, and ignores if a shape has a stroke or fill - i'm asking for 1 line of code to do that for me.shapesalad
