[Feature]: Preference to stop Token Shape from changing when moved between Object/Background/Token Layers.

Open FullBleed opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Feature Request

Current default behaviour in MT is to change tokens moved to the Object and Background layers to "Top Down." And then to initiate Shape Auto-Detection when tokens are moved from the the Object or Background Layer to the Token Layer. This can produce unintended consequences and errors when token shapes are inexplicably changed from their established shapes.

There should be a way to stop MT from changing token shapes when changing layers.

The Solution you'd like

Add a preference to Preferences>Interactions>Tokens to "Retain Shape when moved to/from Object or Background Layer."

This would have to stop MT from changing the shape when tokens are moved into the Object and Background Layers and bypass the Shape Auto Detection when move back to the Token Layer.

Alternatives that you've considered.

Add additional context menu options that explicitly indicate that the token's shape will be changed.

Change To>Object (Top Down) Change To>Background (Top Down) Change To>Token (Shape Detect)

Have all other options leave the token shape alone.
