RM f/g reacted to Friksel in Publisher 2.0
Indeed. It's in fact a bargain, even if you're poor. Some people seem to have forgotten the real price of software and just don't understand the crazy amount of time, effort and passion developers, ui-designers, testers, consultants and what not put on software to create it so you can work faster and make more money with these tools.
Great professional software could easily cost hundreds to thousands of euros in a shop. And it used to be like that too for a long time. It has years of experience put inside it making you work so much faster you earn the money back in no time on the job. But some people in the age of 'open source', free apps (actually making money by using or selling your data) and dollar-apps for your iPhone or Android device, seem to have forgotten the real cost and value production software and compare real value software with buggy, but free, open source tools.
I think it's amazing Affinity makes this stable, performant and highly productive and professional software for only 50 euros and I'm very surprised if people are really this picky about this price to be honoust. To me that's a lack of understanding what it takes to create it and what makes it stand out above the 'just not right'-software out there.

RM f/g reacted to PimentPub in color management and color separations preview ?
It lacks the color management and color separations preview ... essential elements to make the impression!

RM f/g got a reaction from RickyO in visibility of text cursor
I would appreciate a different text cursor, that is the cursor within a text frame. Thicker maybe or with ’serifs’. Or maybe even the option to have the choice from different text cursors.
The thin vertical line becomes hardly visible when it is at the beginning of a line and coincides with the blue line indicating the margin. A behaviour I tend to find a wee bit annoying from time to time.

RM f/g got a reaction from Krustysimplex in [ADe] Select same color / fill / stroke / appearance
I too second this request.
With the ‘select same ...’ feature I would have fased out Illustrator by now. It is a vital feature in my daily work.
I often get files (pdf) exported from GIS applications, containing dozens, sometimes hundreds, of lines that need to be worked on.
Imagine selecting them one by one.

RM f/g got a reaction from Fixx in downsampling options when exporting
I would very much appreciate separate downsampling options for colour/greyscale (photos, 8 bit) and black and white (line art, 1 bit) when exporting to pdf.
InDesign does give us the option, but unfortunately only when exporting to pdf for print.
Photos and line art are really a different ball game.
Cheers

RM f/g got a reaction from A_B_C in Footnotes/Endnotes
For me it would be enough – for the time being – if footnotes were imported as plain text.
As some of us may remember, InDesign CS1 imported footnotes as ‘static’ endnotes. Then we would have the footnote text on board and we can work on from there and make up our own solution for getting the note text in the desired place.
