I will review the Tools organization:
- The first thing I think is that you've confused the tools which
effect the canvas, with the "panels zone" activation. You'll notice how none of the current tools activate the panels. But this is ok because many of your ideas could be proper tools, while others should be re-thought when it comes to the panels and how they are activated and hidden.
I think those buttons should be placed as a header of the panels area. They belong there, it makes more sense to look for them in that area and in the proposed position they break the toolbar in two categories that are not necessarily regarded as "primary and secondary" by users. The reordering of the existing tools is in my opinion questionable. I'm all for grouping similar tools under the same button (the primitives creation tools together, for instance), but the new ordering shouldn't disrupt the usual workflow unless there's a compelling reason to re-locate the tools.
a. The path selection tool is high use for a lot of use cases. It's low use only applies to some cases, so we should be careful not to bury it.
Agree 100% This is one example of a tool that is currently placed in a handy position (by the select tool) and in the proposal falls to a less convenient place.
