Agreed. However, you still can re-use them, it's just a little more time consuming now. When you want to change your gradients as you used to, you can click the "Edit" button on the gradient toolbar to do it via the dialog. That method does not auto-fork and updates all shared gradients on canvas from my testing. Unfortunately it lacks the simplicity and speed of the on-canvas gradient editing though.
Sorry to disappoint, but this button is also going to disappear when the Gradient Editor is purged. All I need to do for this is add a numeric control for stop position onto the toolbar.
Bulia, would it be possible for us to have a toggle button on the gradient toolbar that toggles auto-forking? Obviously we would default it to "on".
OK, for you power users :) I think I can easily add a toggle to never fork the gradient vectors. It should be easy as it's a change in a single place in the code. But, god forbid, it will NEVER be on the toolbar - we've had enough trouble with people turning on "gradient move" button on the Selector toolbar and forgetting about it, and then complaining about weird behavior. Somewhere deep in the prefs would be OK with me :)
