Loading OCIO configs on iPad
acapstick replied to alexfry's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
iPadOS 15 seems to be able to rename OCIO folders to packages natively (avoid iCloud's Downloads folder though). Docs have reworked the iPad OCIO topic as a result. Comments welcome as ever. -
@siaccarino Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums Morning - i've made a change to topics like this so that Windows users will at least see some topic text being reported. In this instance, that scanning is not available directly from within the app. Also interested in discussions about help being conditionally displayed according to the reader's browser user agent. We decided to take this approach so our Mac users wouldn't be offered unnecessary Windows information in-app and vice versa for Windows users. It's something docs could look at in V2.0. Further opinions?

I agree - the SEE ALSO ref to Flowing options is misleading so i've removed that. While the flow options are not explained in detail they are covered explicitly and correctly in the Paragraph panel topic. Otherwise we would have duplicate paragraphs.html and paragraphPanel.html topics..

Typo in Help file for previous node
acapstick replied to Gear maker's topic in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on macOS threads
Thank you - we've fixed this typo in all apps for 1.9. Andy Capstick Affinity documentation -
Juan T - The videos don't usually have supporting assets or project files to support them - sometimes a video is created from a published sample like Lifestyle magazine (Help > Welcome > View Samples). The idea is to use the principle of what's being taught in your own designs. When the Publisher Workbook is released there will be accompanying resources with that. Regards Andy Capstick Affinity Documentation

Hi, Affinity Docs here.. I've removed the history description - this option must have existed at some point (hence screenshot) but has now been removed for 1.8. -

Hi, Workbook update.. I've logged that the screenshot on p.31 will need to be looked at on reprint (changing from white to light blue). The 'white' area is implied to be luminance as the text on the left spread states "The Histogram Panel shows the distribution of Red, Green, Blue and Luminance values for the image, layer or current marquee selection." Cheers Andy
