Still hoping for an update.
-
Solved! I have to do it from the Library, not from the macros.Thank you.
-
Using 1.8.5.703 on Windows. I need to import macros created in June 2019. AF P can't see or import the files. I tried to manually associate the files via Windows, to no avail. I don't know if the last version can't import them, or if the files were corrupted. Do I need to install an older version of AF Photo to have access to them again?
Thank you.

Hi,
I see no progress so far, a new AP version was released with new features but also (as usual) without improving the old limitations...
Very bizarre.

Thank you. When you try to work on a massive amount of images fast this is a major problem. I'll use something else while waiting for the update.
While at it, the perfect (?) options would be: default to Original ratio + Unconstrained when clicking on the alt key. When you let go the alt key your new ratio will be the new default, then maybe ctrl key to reverse back to original ratio of the file, etc. Just sharing ideas while you work on the update, but something like this would be massively productive. You have a menu with plenty of well suited ratios already. Why not add the option of locking down your favorite preset ratio, in addition to Unconstrained and Original.

Hi arial_bold,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Currently there's no way to make it the default option. I'm moving this thread to the Feature Requests section.

Hi Massi,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
In Affinity Photo Customer Beta, the crop tool settings (Darken, Reveal etc) are now sticky (except the Mode which is always set to Unconstrained) - at least on Mac - not sure if the changes were already ported to the latest Photo Beta for Windows as well. With that and the use of presets you should be able to speed up your workflow as you want.Hello. I have the latest APhoto. How can I get the 'original ratio' option selected by default? I am cropping a lot of images and it is a pain to manually select that option every single time. Also when you leave the crop tool, then go back to it, it goes back to the default again.

Hallo arial_bold
I understand, but I see the Inkscape method rather as a Workaround
if a graphics program has no Perspective Ruler.If I understand you correctly. Than you want perspective rulers in Affinity Designer.
Lazy Nezumi allows exactly this perspective rulers and these feel and can be
used just like as if they were built into Affinity Designer.LN works pretty well with Affinity Designer and with many other Graphics programs too.
No matter if vector graphics or painting programs.You can try it out for yourself with the 15 day trial version of LN.
Here an example that I paint in Affintiy Designer with LN's perspective Ruler.
To use LN you need the following Steps:
- Start LN.
- Start your Graphicsprogram e.g Affinity Designer.
- In LN go to Menu and select File > Hook Window
- Now select the Affinity Designer Screen and put your
Cursor over the Affinity Designer Screen, after a few
Seconds LN will capture/hook the Affinity Designer Screen
so all the Rulers of LN will now work with Affinity Designer.
- Push the Startbutton in LN and you are ready to go.
By press the Startbutton again you can also switch off LN
for a while if you like to draw with no rulers.
Here is a link to the website to the perspective ruler
https://lazynezumi.com/perspective
Hope this help, have a nice day
gottfriedI see it now. Great to know. Thank you!

Hi arial_bold
There is one way that i know, where you can use
Perspektive Rulers, like you want, in both Affinity Designer
and Photo. This is possible with the help of Tool named
Lazy Nezumi.
A Tool once written for Photoshop. But you can use it
without any Problems also in Vectorprograms like
Affinity Designer.
Search for your self and look at there Webseite.
Hope this helps a bit. Have a nice day.
2ddpainterThank you for the suggestion but this is not it. This is a link about Inkscape and how to create a 3D cube. This link describes what I would like, but better, in Designer one day.
http://goinkscape.com/how-to-draw-a-rubiks-cube-in-inkscape/#respondAfter some searches in the forum my wish or something similar is a very popular request, and has been for years. While waiting I will use Inkscape when needed.
-
This is why I use Inkscape for basic perspective transformations, svg back and forth.
Also why not add a macro option for Designer something like the one in Photo. Record every step. Instead of rebuilding the logo because of a name change, simply change the name and apply the same macro, get the same look. Done.

At the moment there is no way to set up a perspective grid in Affinity.
Whoever made this example image will have had to create the perspective by hand.
Then there is no need to create a thread in the question forum.
My suggestion is to create a non isometric cube and a sphere as more options in Grid and Axis Manager.
Thank you.

I don't think you can set guides other than horizontal/vertical. But if you investigate the Grid and Axis Manager, it will allow you to set an isometric grid, which may be what you need. There's also the Isometric studio panel.
By the way, you might get more responses when asking a question if you post in the Questions forum, rather than the Suggestions forum.
I was posting here because it is impossible to recreate (easily) with guides the perspective the email is advertising. It is not isometric, that's why I suggested to go beyond the isometric grid in the thread title. I will ask in the question forum. Thank you.
-
I got an email from Affinity. This image was included. It would nice if someone could point me to a tutorial recreating this image. How to set guides is what I am looking for.
-
I asked for the same request, almost, in thread I created to have guides you could define yourself (old movie posters with fake 3D style lettering as an example). I simply hope when this is implemented it will be as epic as the rest of the Affinity Suite. Maybe because everything is so flat looking, the demand is not an emergency?
-
3, 5 point perspective guides, curvilinear perspective, etc.

Thank you for letting us know. This hotfix was to fix the issue of custom keyboard shortcuts being deleted it shouldn't have affected performance @Chris B are you aware of anything like this?
Follow up.
1.7.0.380 is 'stable'. Only had 2 crashes since my last post. Pushed 800+ files with 20 steps macros and it was fine. it is impossible to reproduce the crashes. I don't know if batch processing is been used a lot by Affinity users, but when you need to manage multiples macros, it is getting very tedious to reload macros over and over again when you start a new batch job. That's a separate problem I'll suggest in the appropriate sub.

Hi Arial_bold,
Welcome to the forums
Towards the bottom left of the New Batch window there is a tickbox that says Parallel Processing. Please could you try unticking it and seeing if that gives you better performance?
Thanks
Callum
I've decided to re download the app and re install it. To my surprise I saw there was another update, .380, instead of my original .367. So far so good. No crash
It is too bad Affinity doesn't push for updates alert within the app. Is there an option for this to happen? Is there a page I need to bookmark to find out what's up? Thanks.

I ran a very small batch job, less than 20 images. Twice. Crashed both times. After that I started recording some macros. 2 different macros. Crashed after I saved the second one. I can't tell what's triggering the crashes.
That never happened on 1.6, batch running 300+ images on the same system.
A little update. I rebooted my Windows machine. No background apps running. I programmed a couple of macros. After a while, idle, Photo crashed. I got the Crash report alert from Photo after the first crash. I did the Beta 1.7 and never had any crash problems. Thanks.

I just installed both Photo and Designer. Not a major bug more like a visual annoyance. Designer keeps the old look on the taskbar. Both shortcuts for Photo 1.7 and Designer 1.7 on my desktop are fine.

Trying out would work nicely as a work flow if the batch dialogue's settings were saved, so you'd only have to set the new input files to finally run the batch. As this is not the case, you have to repeat all settings which not only takes time but also provokes errors. So yes, different destination is always to be recommended, but the workflow gets not really better including testing of each batch operation, I think.
This is more important that a cancel option. I was getting my files from multiple folders doing multiple jobs. You can't drag and drop files and folders on the list directly.

I think that it behooves you to try out your batch process with a single file first, and to ensure that your output destination (or filetype) is different from the source.

I am so used to have a cancel option for batch processing I was a bit surprised it wasn't there. No loss for me as I was testing it on a backup folder.

I've made a mistake with the destination folder (same as the original folder). Is there a way to cancel a batch job after it's started? Also how do I tell the app not to write over a file with the same name, or auto rename it with (2), (3)? It was a copy of a folder (no big deal), but I'd like to know. Thank you.

I would love to be able to make titles like this fake impossible 3D look with the help of guides/grids built in the program. I don't mean changing the geometry but at least have the option beyond the isometric look. Thank you.
