Is there any chance at some point in the future that we could have a DXF export filter for Designer. Thanks very much. Steve

I hope they put a lot of effort into Designer as well as Publisher as Inkscape leaves it in the dust. -

Affinity products for Linux
cyberlizard replied to a topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
Linux is stuck really. People do not develop significant amounts of professional applications for the average desktop user and so less people are inclined to leap to Linux and so less people develop significant amounts of professional applications for the average desktop user and round and round it goes. Unless big players get on board, it is doomed to stay this way as a niche OS until the second coming. -
Better compatibility with Wine
cyberlizard replied to rnmartinez's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
I've only just noticed this thread. A little background. I was first introduced to Unix back when SCO and Xenix were a thing. I remember the frustration with my first version of Linux, which was Open SUSE, back when you had to manually start up the X Server. Since that time I have dabbled with Linux, but 99% of the time, I used Windows. My reason for never making the switch to Linux full time was the woeful driver support and lack of applications. Everyone says, look at GIMP, but I look at it and its interface makes Scribus look good. Anyway, recently I tried out Clear Linux from Intel. Very impressed, but in the end, I set up a dual boot with Windows 10 and Fedora 36 running KDE, which I am using to type this note on my laptop. My baseunit in the other room is where the grunt of my work gets done, and it is there (as well as on this laptop) that I use my Affinity applications. For me, in terms of priority, it's Publisher, Designer and then Photo. Publisher is missing features and so is Designer. But why am I telling you all this. On my laptop, I have installed Microsoft Office as a web app (PWA) (as I have a 365 subscription). This lets me run some of the office applications as though they were 'real' apps as opposed to web pages in a wrapper that can be used offline. Now my understanding is that PWAs are generally written in Javascript. I don't know what langauge Affinity-Serif use for their in-house coding, but it would be lovely to see the applications released in the form of WebApps as it would let me use the Affinity software in a platform agnostic situation. This way, I could ditch Windows alltogether and make the full time leap to Linux. Wishful thinking I am sure, but it would be nice if Affinity were to consider this as a viable option. Steve -
Footnotes/Endnotes

As yet there is no support for footnotes, endnotes, sidenotes or table notes. It seems to be taking forever! I certainly hope they are included in version 2 whenever that may be. Steve -

it's completely frustrating in terms of the delay in reaching the version two milestone. it is however understandable that Photo gets the most development as that would be the application used most by the masses, but Designer as well as Publisher both need a lot of TLC as the former lacks many features which the very free Inkscape offers at no immediate cost. -

Collapsible panel groups, please
cyberlizard replied to dmstraker's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
the double click method only seems to work when the panels are not docked. is there a way to do it when the panels are docked? Steve -

I could not agree more with some of these comments. Having the ability to resize icons is a must. Even on a 1080 display, the spin controls such as those used to increase or decrease the number of columns for example are already tiny. I can only imagine how ludicrously small they must appear on a 4K monitor.

me neither. apart from words there is no actual evidence of any progress with the feature since the first beta of publisher came out in 2018. unless of course someone can show us a screenshot of the testing version which Affinity says is in progress. Any staff from Affinity / Serif want to prove me wrong. Steve -

Recently I have been struggling with copying artwork from Designer into Inkscape as whenever I copied it, it came over pixelated. I was getting more and more frustrated until someone pointed out a setting in the General: Copy as SVG. Instantly resolved my problem. Is there any chance the Edit Menu could have 'Copy as SVG' added to it as well as in right mouse click context menu? Wishing hopefully.
