Logos InkPen 1.0.2 – FreeHand Revival

image

A massive update with direct selection improvements, FreeHand file import, UI/UX enhancements, and bug fixes!

🎨 New Features

FreeHand File Import

  • Open / Import FreeHand documents directly: .fh3, .fh4, .fh5, .fh6, .fh7, .fh8, .fh9, .fh10, .fh11, .fhmx.
  • Imports FreeHand files directly from libFreeHand — skips SVG code generation and reads straight to InkPen objects.
  • Updated: FreeHand .fh10+ import support improved (IPTC metadata wrapper fix). Tested with .fh10 files; the same fix should apply to .fh10, .fh11, and .fhmx formats.

Direct Selection Tool (Illustrator-Style!)

  • Option+Click and Cmd+Click to select objects behind the topmost object.
  • Auto-select topmost member when switching to direct selection in a group.
  • Fine-tuning with Option + Arrow for 1/10th nudges.
  • Move selected points via dialog or arrow keys.

  • Lock icon now syncs with the layers panel and is always visible.
  • Shift-constrain for drag operations (FreeHand/Illustrator style).
  • Scale X, Scale Y, and Rotate fields in the toolbar.
  • Align X and Align Y menu items in the Object menu.
  • Bounding box rectangle button for faster selection.
