Can you please export this Asset Category, then upload a copy of the .afassets here for me?

I'm not using any specific assets in the asset window (if it's what you are asking). Just my own symbol created with my own png. So I don't think I can export the way you suggested.

[Affinity Designer 2.1.1 adding Symbols bug]

Here is the video of the problem. As you can see, it starts to bug after 30s (= symbols can't be drag&drop anymore).

I was just trying to replace images by symbols to allow faster update in the future (a replace image by symbols feature would be very convenient 👀).

Thanks.

[States Panel for Affinity Designer and for exporting]

This would be so much great!

[Affinity Designer 2.1.1 adding Symbols bug]

When I drag & drop symbols one after one from my symbol panel to the canvas, it ends up bugging and I can no longer drag & drop new ones. Only solution is to close Affinity (closing the document is not enough) and when I reopen the file, I can use the symbol feature again.

[Replace Symbol functionality]

It would be awesome, please.

[Export to JSON gives unexpected results (split)]

Export Spine.json is buggy (tested on Affinity Photo).

1. When I delete the json file, it won't export again

2. x and y are usually wrong : 

"bande1":{"bande1":{"x":154,"y":213.5,"width":76,"height":53}}

[States Panel for Affinity Designer and for exporting]

What's the point of having States without a way to export? This is a must have! Thanks to consider this.

[Generic JSON Batch Builder for UI Design]

I would love to have custom Batch Builder.

CodeAndWeb have made for their product called Texture Packer a very good custom exporter using a template system like ejs (or close).

Here is the documentation : https://www.codeandweb.com/texturepacker/documentation/custom-exporter

Please add this feature. I will personnaly not use that only for UI but also for layering game scene

That's why, in general, if you are working closely with someone else you should both be using the same tools.

So I hope there will be more and more affinity users.

[improve compatibility with photoshop]

When I import a psd file, it's just to export quickly images, see size fonts, etc. The Export Persona is very effective.

What I mean with a mess is that I'm lost in the new ui, I was a photoshop user very long time ago. Don't want to lost my time with an expensive product for mainly doing export from time to time. I'm still using Animate sometime though but I haven't find good replacement.

No answer for you, but is it really a wise idea it you need to work with people using Photoshop and you use something else? I never got the idea of doing that. Seems like the simplest thing would be to use the same software they are using as none of this would be an issue and the potential for other weirdness happing goes almost right down to zero. 

I want to use the software I'm the most confortable with. Also last version of Photoshop is a real mess. Thanks to Walt answer, my compatibility just got improved.

Did you enable the Preference (in the General section) to import smart objects as smart objects, where possible?

Glad to finally be able to open smart objects. Ah ah ! Thank you very much. I've absolutely missed that option!

Still waiting for artboard import support

[improve compatibility with photoshop]

Hi,

most psd/psb files I received recently from my clients have dynamic object (smart object) and artboard.

This is an example I made on Photoshop:

I understand that Photo doesn't use artboard, but when I import my psd file in Designer, the artboard aren't created neither. The file is still usable but the display can be really annoying. For example, an object that should be cut by the artboard hides something else.

Files that uses Dynamic Object are not usable because I can't modify or even see what fonts are used, etc.

I use Affinity products for many years but I haven't see any improvements in this topic. Is there any plan to improve compatibility so it will be easier to use Affinity when working with photoshop users?

[Freeform gradient tool]

Oh yeah you are definitely right!

[Freeform gradient tool]

Hi,

I would love such tool in Affinity : 

 

Is there any alternative here or just need to wait for such thing?

Thanks

[Export multi pages pdf to vertical jpg]

When I import a PDF with many pages in Affinity Photo and I export it to JPG, all my pages are in the same line (horizontal). I would like to know if I can export my pages in the same column instead (vertical).

[Feature request for slice tool : set resolution]

Thank you! I didn't even notice that it was a typable dropdown list!

[Feature request for slice tool : set resolution]

Hi,

Currently we can do that with the Slice Tool :

Quote

On the Slices panel, click the indented + icon under the export size entries to add increasing levels of resolution (2x, 3x, etc.) to the export format.

I would like to set the export format myself, for example 0.25, 0.5, 0.8, 1,2, 2.5 so the resolution decrease or increase with whatever values we want.

Cheers;
