Hi @alicetransit and thanks for taking the time to give us such clear but thorough feedback, I appreciate it. I want to complement @Cris’s reply by replying about a few things.
We’re also looking forward to it! We’ve been using it internally and it’s already been invaluable, but it’s still incomplete and buggy, so the release will only be next year. I’ll be posting a more detailed progress report and update on its forum topic soon.
Indeed, styles on artboards are already in the public beta. As for artboards within artboards, or something to that end… let’s just say that I think you’ll be happy.
For sure, we want to improve this, we just need to allocate some time to it.
This isn’t part of our public roadmap: the only symbol-related public roadmap item we have is just new ways to manage symbols. Regarding variants, it’s one of many things we’d like symbols to do which are really hard for us to achieve today, we’re not overly thrilled with them. We’ve had conversations about doing a fundamental rethink and rewrite of symbols next year, but it’s too early and too complex for us to commit to it happening.
No improvements planned for v102 beyond corner radius on images, I’m afraid. We’d like to do non-destructive cropping, but we’re not a huge company and at the moment everyone is busy with other priorities.
I’ll consider it a feature request! Could you tell me why the “Copy” is problematic for you?
As a side note: I’ve moved this topic to the ‘Share Your Knowledge’ section because the topic is too broad to vote on.
