With path: Shift does absolutely nothing to change the feather option on my system. I can only change the feather after I pull one feather node out of place and then I can use either the shift option or change through the wheel without shift.

        I've done some quick testing:

        -circle

        shift adjusts the feather anywhere
        control adjusts the opacity anywhere
        no key adjusts the size on the shape and the feather on the
        feather, I
        think it will be better to adjust the size with the mouse
        anywhere on
        the shape


    Currently I don't want to change that. Many people got used to
    adjusting the feather size this way and I don't see a need to
    puzzle them.


        -ellipse

        same as circle, even when on a node

        -path

        same as circle, but when on a node or segment the zoom is updated
        instead of the size, opacity or feather (I mean, instead of
        adjusting
        the shape the image is zoomed)


    I'll have a closer look. At least a zoom change is not prone to
    damage anything in the image :)


        -brush

        I don't use it much, so maybe I just don't understand how it
        works, but
        if it can follow the same logic as the others shapes it would
        be great.
        Right now it sems that with no keys it adjusts the
        size+feather if the
        mouse is on the feather, if on a segment it adjusts the size
        but the
        feather is reduced. It also seems that the step to adjust the
        size is
        different that the one for the circle and ellipse.
        When adding a new brush no keys adjusts the size and keeps the
        feather
        the same. Shift adjusts the size but the feather changes, to
        be more
        exact, the outside circle remains the same, and that has the
        effect of
        change the size of the feather.


    Instead of size and feather we have size and hardness in brush
    strokes. So they are a bit different from the other shapes.

In that case the fix works fine to me, the feather is updated with the shift key on all the shapes.

This is maybe out of scope, but it is possible to have a preview when adding a circle, like the brush does? An outline like the circle currently have will be ok. Specially for the spots, when adding several circles of different sizes it would be nice to know what I'm about to add, and to be able to change the size and feather before adding it.

If this is something that you don't want to do right now but you may consider for the future I can enter a feature request.

Thanks,
Edgardo.



        sorry about my english, if this isn't clear feel free to ask
        and I'll
        try to explain it better.
