Lets say that I create a new color swatch.
I apply that swatch to an object.
If I changed the color of the swatch, the change should reflect in the object and to any other objects it is applied to, throughout the document.
But, as it is now, it seems that I can't even edit a swatch, once it is created.
 
Also, it should be possible to create Tints based on color swatches. The tints would also update if the original color swatch was edited.
 
I know this is becoming annoying, but FreeHand had this working perfectly. Illustrator has the ability of defining colors as "Global" or "Local". All colors in FreeHand were "Global" and, if this is implemented in Affinity Designer (I hope it does), the "Global" mode should be the default one.

Is it likely that Affinity will produce a linear gradient that can follow a path? What I'm thinking of in particular is using a gradient to shade a curved tube or rod/wire.
 
How do you adjust a gradient applied to a line?

Hi all,
 
This is my request.
-An gradient thats follow the stroke of the shape.
 

Hey guys, not sure this has been requested already, but here goes.
 
I often find myself having a workflow that has me moving from one document to the next. Where new documents are created based on parts of a previous file. What I'm really missing is the opportunity to create a new document based on the dimensions of the content I have on my clipboard.
 
So it would work as follows:
- Select part from document 1 with 800x600 dimension
- Hit Cmd+N for new document with 800 x 600 dimension
- Paste content of clipboard centered in new document
 
Another thing that I find myself looking for regularly (kind of in the same process) is an option to trim the canvas to the content. Preferably with a adjustable margin, or auto-margin.
 
Workflow:
- Canvas is 1200x1200
- Layers cover 800x600
- Select the option Trim Canvas
- Canvas is trimmed (this doesn't have to be pixels obviously)
 
And I finally I would really like to see some form of vector pattern creation tooling, including support for illustrator patterns.
 
I often have random shapes I want to fill with a vector based pattern. But it really takes a lot of time at the moment to fill in everything manually. Especially when you have spacing issues and repeating stuff to worry about.
 
Thanks.

Hi all, I just had a quick look at photo beta and it looks great!
 
There are two features supported in Krita which I think would make fantastic additions to both photo and designer:
 
1: Tile mode (or "wrapping" mode). In this mode you can see the image/canvas repeated at least once beyond each edge and corner, and you can just draw off the edge and the drawing automatically wraps around to the other side. Ideally most of the built in effects and filters would also work properly with tiled mode, such as blurs, bevels, shadows, etc. This would be superb for making or working with seamlessly tiled backgrounds and game textures.
 
2: Infinite canvas. When you find yourself running out of space at one edge of the canvas, this feature would make it very easy to extend the canvas just in that direction.
 
Cheers,
Jules
 

+1 possibility of resizing icons and font size (also a little)

+1 possibility of resizing icons :)
 
And i agree with Richard above, when having to work with a clear canvas it's difficult to see and focusing on the icons...

It'd be great to have the gradient editor as a studio panel, I always have a bit of a fuzzy moment when I'm about to apply a gradient, my mind goes to the little stack where I have my colour, swatch and stroke palettes. Rather than the gradient tool or the colour boxes in the top left.
