Hi Matthew, The Align Vertically contextual menu for smart shapes is not new. I forget when it was introduced, but it's been around for a very long time. Of course you know that you can bring up the filter settings when copying by selecting a source region and option-shift clicking on the

Thanks Jari for your latest plugins - I look forward to using them when they get to OS X. It's very generous of you. In case you are looking for any further ideas: How feasible (or not) would be a plugin that adds a smart shape for the duration of the selected region? e.g. have a section

Thanks for the tip, Darcy. I tend avoid changing the filter settings because then it can be a bit of a hassle changing it all back i.e. if it's more than All or None. If there were programmable Filter presets available of course, that would help things. Interesting also re. the align
