Hi @Gabe Thanks for response. The file was stored on local drive. Although, it happened first time and not a casual occurrence 🤷‍♂️

"This document appears to be corrupted.\n\nThe document must now be closed" I worked on this document last night, saved everything and closed. Logged in today only to find out my file is properly loading in background but affinity is displaying an error message and the document shall be closed. all of my work is lost! here is a video and i am providing the file too for developers to take a took. ScreenRecorderProject2.mp4 Template1.afpub

Sounds awesome, let me add it in list i hope developers have a look at our effort as well

You made a very good point. Indeed it exist already elsewhere. thanks for mentioning

Well, i'd rather disagree as the point you mentioned is correct but HSL color wheel feels incomplete without it and people working on their laptops without any other external monitor cannot do that.

Well, it may not make sense at first but this conversion is really helpful for Css/Html Also the conversions are already taking place in affinity under the hood. I felt it'd be handy if we can see then on a single/same dialog box, rather than switching in between

Okay, Please see the video i've attached. As you will see, If i select any color on HSL color wheel, then i switch to RGB hex dialog, there DO EXIST a hex for it. Similarly, if i generate a color in RGB hex color box, then if i switch to HSL color box, it does represent the very same color on HSL color wheel. This means Affinity is already doing Hex to HSL (and vice versa) conversions under the hood. All i asked is, if this is possible, then why cant affinity place a HEX input field straight under/beneath Hsl color wheel (within Hsl color wheel dialog box), so that Web designers/developers do not have to switch everytime between RGB Hex and HSL color wheel dialog to Obtain or Paste the Hex color code. 😀 ScreenRecorderProject1.mp4

Yes, i am sorry i was not able to properly describe what i was looking for, but the later part of your comment is in perfect direction. Displaying the hexadecimal values alongside the hsl color wheel so as to be able to transfer back and forth without having to jump from Hsl to rgb dialog box, everytime, for each color, while working with Html/Css. Because the HSL color wheel is very intuitive but it does not show/obtain or let us enter color values directly without having us first switch to rgb dialog box and then enter/get hex values.

i would rather agree, but since the methods exist and already being implemented in affinity, i think translation is quite possible. Apparently for every RGB hex there do exist a HSL value and vice versa. These are just methods to find color under a single color space that your document is based upon. https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/color/hsl-to-rgb.html

***Affinity feature requests*** * Having a Hex color Input box on "HSL color wheel" dialog box. * Global Gradient Swatches. Are they this hard to implement in affinity software...it's been 3 years almost and the top design app for mac still doesn't support global gradient swatches, why is that? * Dynamic Styles. Yes, a workaround for this is using a symbol but having a dynamic style instead of using a Symbol can be used in many areas, means, i can implement a dynamic style with shadows and glow to a circle, a rectangle, a polygon...while having ability to manipulate and watch effects like shadows taking change on multiple objects in real time. You get the idea, right? Specially for Ui/Ux designers. * Symbol lock (Sometimes we end up making changes to symbols only to zoom out and realizing those changes impact symbols on the entire page. Hence a special symbol locking mechanism would be very welcomed where we can lock symbols so that they can be moved and resized but cannot be modified or implement changes to their appearances) * PDF, Word documents (and i suspect some other document types) could not be set as linked like various image formats. They remain embedded and could not be linked which clutter the affinity document thus increasing file size. * It's impossible to separate/group swatches within a swatch category, please do something about it * Shape builder tool (We all know it how much us designers are craving for this handy dandy boolean operation tool. come on team serif * We can create separate grids for separate artboards, but we cannot set different grid line color for each cardboard. Suppose if i change grid line color or opacity to "green" on one artboard, all other artboards also have same grid line color and opacity. This gets troublesome when we have multiple artboards with different grids and you have to jump in between. * Shape Blend tool (least priority but essential tool) * Mirroring tool (I get the idea to use symbols as workaround for mirroring but wont a separate tool make tasks a lot easier for logo/graphic designer?) * Functionality to add more Api within Affinity software to grab assets from websites, just like unsplash is the only one currently supported. (https://developer.flaticon.com/landing) * When exporting an artboard, the default filename should be the name of the artboard. For bonus points, a way to export multiple artboards (from the same document, with the same settings) at once would also be very helpful. * Export Persona (or something that make exporting easy) for Publisher as well. Would love to hear your thoughts on this thread. Also, if you found my post/thread/content contributing and containing genuine new feature requests do mention and share your views. it'll make my day 😃

Oh, apologies. But nonetheless thanks for response and i am glad to share my insights with a moderator. Yes! you're right. i was actually considering EPS as a universal vector format, to be supported by every vector app and being treated equally. i didn't gave Ai format a try, neither expected the Pdf dilemma nor was aware about it's existence even in Eps. thanks for breaking it down for me 😃

***Affinity issues*** (2020 July) * We can create separate grids for separate artboards, but we cannot set different grid line color for each artboard. Suppose if i change grid line color or opacity to "green" on one artboard, all other artboards also have same grid line color and opacity. This gets troublesome when we have multiple artboards with different grids and you have to jump in between. * It's impossible to separate/group swatches within a swatch category, please do something about it * Unable to zoom in/out of document when "text styles" popup window is open. Whereas any other window like "effects window", or "preferences popup window" allow zooming in/out of document flawlessly in Background. * So many vector documents downloaded from sites like Freepik (An example this: https://www.freepik.com/free-vector/cryptocurrency-landing-page_4649920.htm) appear to be faded when opened in affinity applications, but the case is not same with illustrator, they're vivid and bright in illustrator. Overall affinity have some color rendering issues. I tried to apply every color profile available in affinity but they're inadequate. Try yourself! * Affinity still cannot work properly with vector blend modes to produce lights effects (color dodge blend mode). Here, open this template in affinity and see for yourself. https://www.freepik.com/free-vector/collection-realistic-spotlight-illumination_4947159.htm * PDF, Word documents (and i suspect some other document types) could not be set as linked like various image formats. They remain embedded and could not be linked which clutter the affinity document thus increasing file size. * Sometimes enabling grids on one "view mode" enable grids on other "view mode" as well.It only happen sometimes, but it does.

Hey! Thank You so much. Thats a clever and cool way to extend column more than your document size. yes i get it :) again im so grateful for your support. wondering why it didn't strike me lol

Hello, i have been playing a lot with grid manager lately. but i couldn't figure out, if i create a simple grid, how can i keep only one directional lines. here i am NOT talking about dividing the complete art board into "some number" of rows and column. i want unidirectional lines "either horizontal or vertical" with a provided space "custom space, lets say 88px" is there any way to achieve it right now? if not, any workaround or feature request would be greatly appreciated how can i create lines like in this pic ...
