[Wasted 209,33€ because of —your— app bug!]

Without seeing the files, a difference in the document DPIs does seem the likeliest explanation.

If Designer has document set up in physical units (mm or inches), copying stuff from it should keep dimensions in such units. It is certainly a bug if it does not.

Agree with Fixx. vector objects are not related to pixels (dpi), so the size should not change when copying to a document with a different dpi.

 

[Vertical writing function in Japanese]

Same with all kinds of language support, like RTL and complex scripts.

[Warp Feature]

Please also in ADesigner.

Both, perspective and Warp Tool.

[primary text frame]

Please Affinity, add an option in Publisher, something like the "primary text frame" in InDesign.

Its a great feature, so i will love to see it in Publisher  

Thanks.

Hi all!

Thanks.

[Arabic Support]

RTL support pleeeease...

We don't need the whole interface to be in Arabic, we just need the text tool to support RTL typing.

Agree.

[Line Stroke "Width Tool" Affinity Designer]

Its possible in Affinity with the "pressure" feature. please take a look in your other post:

https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/93003-line-width-control/&tab=comments#comment-500280

 

[Line width control]

You are right ErrkaPetti. i simply never recognized how powerful the "pressure" feature is... (after your upper reply, i even didn't think to check it out  )

Thanks!

[Line width control]

Is this also possible in ADesigner?

[Line width control]

1+ for the Illustrat or "width tool". its a wonderful tool to help designing all kinds of swirls and florals. (its also great for designing brushes)

     

[Fix RTL for Arabic, Persian and Hebrew languages]

will you support RTL languages (Arabic for example) any time soon?

It sounds from their answers that Affinity couldn't care less about all their customers who needs RTL support for productive work.

[Acrobat Alternative?]

Or try Foxit PhantomPDF (with more editing features) from the same company, for $129.00 a 1-time purchase.

https://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf-editor/

[Acrobat Alternative?]

You can try Foxit Reader. it's free, fast, and it includes most features from Adobe Acrobat. one of the things i like from Foxit is the preview i have from the PDF file in Windows Explorer.

Shadows are added as a layer effect: select the layer (object) you want to apply the shadow to, click the "fx" button on the layers panel, select "Outside Shadow", turn it on and adjust to taste.

Block Shadow (or Long Shadow) is something diferent from a regular "Outside Shadow".

This is already there, but only for left-to-right scripts.

Does any of these features in the roadmap?

Affinity has deleted all roadmaps, so it's not clear what will be added first and which features later. but most of this great CorelDRAW features will for sure be added over the next few years. you can see the old roadmap here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/91619-why-did-serif-delete-the-entire-roadmap-thread/& .

[Artistic text to paragraph text and vice versa]

23 hours ago, ErrkaPetti said:

Many Illustrator/Photoshop users say this about Adobe, it’s many many features, but, the both program there is very heavy to run and runs much slower than Affinity Suite of apps...

I agree. but this few small (but very handy, sometimes) features is not the factor to make the program slow, its more about heavy features, like the "revolving" and 3D options in AI.

I used this "convert artistic text to paragraph text" option a lot in CorelDRAW, it's just a little feature, but sometimes very handy.

[Cropped images in Affinity Photo?]

Thanks everyone for the ideas ... I appreciate it.
