Show outline of curved shape when adjusting roundness of rectangle shaped area mask

Issue #172 new
Anton Rosenfeld created an issue

When you adjust the roundness of the rectangle shape, there is no change in the outline of the area mask, you can only visualise it when you turn on the yellow mask. This is not always convenient if you are trying to select a shape, because the solid yellow mask obscures what you are trying to see. It would be great if the curved shape could be shown in the outline mask. Perhaps it would be possible to use the code from the polygon shapes tool which is already able to show curves. I think this would improve the functionality of the shapes tool.

    Little workaraound: invert the mask while adjusting its shape.

    Yes, thanks, it is a workaround. I guess it is more a case of user experience. They may wonder when you adjust the roundness, why the outline shape remains a rectangle. Not critical just a nicety, and it all takes time to do….
