Great piece of advice, Peter. I spent a long time playing with the Shape Painter Tool the other day.
Your results with the mouse are much better than mine with the mouse.

Oh, I forgot to mention:
The Shape Painter is fine for what it does, but I still request a paint-style brush that lays down an inner path you can modify at any time later.
As in Illustrator.
As in InkScape.
As in in Affinity Designer.
As in CorelDRAW.
There's a pattern here!

Join Tool. We already have that capability if I understand your request. Select two open paths, drag one end to the other, they become one path. No?
Levels and hue adjustments that remains vector. Don't understand, sorry!
Flood fill. For bitmap imports?
This thread might not be the place, but here goes:
I had a clipped shape with a dop shadow. Did that, filed it for months. Whwn I came back to it, I wanted to remove the clip...but it wouldn't because it had a dropshadow that needed to be removed first.
This is version 365.
Shouldn't I get an explanation onscreen as a hint for why the action wasn't possible?
Thanks!

Yes Gare that's what I was asking for in post #6. As well as a Calligraphy I would like both Pen & Ink as well as Art brushes all with their start & end profiles.
In post #10 I stated that we nearly had this but it was a shape not a Line so I 100% agree with your request there.
Yes I really like Illustrator brushes in operation but the palette for editing the shape is poor, then when you comes to borders/frames it gets very 90's. I think Xara's is no better, maybe poorer as corners are a dreadful areas.
Design is thinking made visual.
If you were ever to try CorelDRAW versions 10 and higher, the brush tool produces a stroke at the speed of light, unlike some of the other functions. Excessive nodes don't exist when you use a mouse to paint a clligraphic stroke.
Comparting Illustrator 5.5 (that's where I stopped upgrading, don't like checking into a cloud to use my software) to CorelDRAW X8, DRAW wins for responsiveness and finished product using a standard issue Logitech optical cordless.
My Best,
Gary
Hi Gary,
I am aware of the current way, it just seems cumbersome for such a common operation.
Like adjustments in Photoshop, you can do that via plugins but the adjustments are static, you cannot edit the color of objects after.
Concerning flood fills I meant for vector lines. For example I often import flattened 3d images in vector curves.
I use Illustrator's live paint bucket to do this but would rather do it in Xara.
