Description Cyrille Berger 2009-04-28 10:25:58 UTC
Steps:
* add two artistic shapes
* select them

Expected results: the properties docker show the artistic shapes properties allowing to change the font, size, etc... of multiple shapes at the same time.
Comment 1 Jan Hambrecht 2009-04-28 21:44:02 UTC
The current design does not allow multiple shapes to be changed at the same time by using the shape config widgets. This has to be changed to fix this bug.
Comment 2 Thomas Zander 2009-04-28 22:27:21 UTC
The current design uses the widgets that were designed to be used on inserting the shape into a new document. So, indeed those are designed to be used with only one shape.
More interesting is that this usage of the shapeOptionPanels results in that many shapes don't have a properties docker to show and when they do the main tool for that shape typically also provides these functions in the tool-options docker.

I'd like to suggest to have the path-properties GUI made available in the path-tool so its tool-options docker shows the features now exclusive to the properties tool.

I think that will take care of the main usecase for this docker, won't it?
