Stroked paths issues

[LucasFonts (Luc(as) de Groot)]

When I copy segments from a stroke based path and paste them, the stroke properties unfortunately disappear.
Settings for sharp corners in strokes are missing, Bevel join, Round join and Miter join with Miter limit.
A workaround for round corners is to put open segment endings on top of each other, but that is rather tricky.
Could the stroke properties box be visible in the font overview to set strokes for multiple glyphs at once?

@LucasFonts

set strokes for multiple glyphs at once?

For this, you can use the script Batch Set Path Attributes (in the mekkablue scripts, I think).

This is a bug. I’ll have a look.

Fixed it.

Thanks! Tips on rounded corners?

[GeorgSeifert]

Could you be more specific? And maybe discuss it in its own thread?

Oops, that thread already exists:

Feature request: rounded stroke corners

Dear Glyphs team! Working with Glyphs’s strokes is working very well and I’m happy this feature has been added. However, I’m very missing one small feature I’m acquainted working with in other vector applications: the possibility to round the corners with the same radius as the terminals. While it is already possible to round the stroke’s terminals, it would be great to have also the possibility to round the corners of a stroke in the same radius. Especially for creating rounded typefaces this…

A workaround with open paths is not ideal:

We are working on this.
