Corner to Smooth node conversion in Glyphs 3

Does it work different now? See the videos. Is it supposed to be this way? Very inconvenient tbh…

What are you trying to do? Do you like to keep the angle of one of the handles?

#3

Yes. Basically, what I normally do after is selecting handles on the right, moving them 1 point right (or left or up or down) - this is straightening the handles on the left, which make the right end of the shape looks nice rounded and smooth.

#4

@GeorgSeifert, is it possible to create an additional keyboard shortcut for the “end of shape” case - something like option+enter or control+enter? so the handles doesn’t move when the points are converted?

#5

You can disable this behavior by running this in the macro window.

Glyphs.defaults["GSMakeSmoothNodes"] = False
