Hey guys, esp. Bulia!
when you assign a gradient to the stroke and the fill, the gradient-selection in the gradient-toolbar will not work anymore.
Works for me. It shows "Multiple gradients" because that's what you have in selection. But you can select any one in the list and it will get assigned to both stroke and fill.
The gradient-selection should always show the gradient of the toggled button, either stroke or fill.
No. It shows all gradients in selection, both stroke and fill (if any) and for any selected objects (if more than one). I think it's logical.
True, with this interface you cannot assign different gradients _from the list_ to stroke and fill of the same object. But do you really need that? Gradient on stroke is pretty rare anyway, and combining them is even rarer. And you can always emulate that by separating it into two objects, one for fill and one for stroke. And finally, this limitation will become almost irrelevant when you can assign colors to the selected gradient handle, thus editing the colors of the gradients without selecting a gradient definition from the list.
when you click on the nodes of a gradient, with the tool, it should also toggle between fill and stroke, depending on what gradient you just clicked on canvas.
The fill/stroke switch is in the "New:" part, so it only affects the newly created gradients. The "Change:" part affects all gradients in selection.
Furthermore I think that the gradient-tool should exclusively edit gradients and no nodes and that node editing should not edit gradients... but I guess that's planned anyways, ain't it?
No. I see absolutely no harm in other tools being able to edit gradient handles. Just like most tools can edit handles of any shapes. If you don't like it, you can disable gradient editing for any tool (except gradient tool, of course) in the preferences.
