[Affinity is not able to render correctly a standard SVG]

Yes, pretty much every SVG file that you can find anywhere will not render correctly in Affinity Designer after it has been optimised with SVGO v1.3 or above but will render correctly in all common web browsers and other software following SVG specifications.

A workaround in the meantime until this bug is fixed by the Affinity developers - if needing to edit an SVG file in Affinity that has already been run through SVGO - just open the SVG in a web browser like Chrome, then "Print to PDF" (Ctrl+P on Windows), then save the page to PDF and open it with Affinity to extract the vector graphic from the PDF which will then be correctly formatted.

Shorthand hex love in 2019?

[Accept shorthand hexadecimal colours like in CSS]

Just bumping this. Every other graphics editor that I've ever worked in has supported shorthand hex, here's for hoping that Affinity would finally be able to do this in 2018?

[Batch Job - add folders/subfolders]

The Batch Job feature in Affinity Photo is great, but one crucial feature that's missing is the ability to select multiple folders and subfolders and all the images inside automatically being added to the list.

 

The whole idea of the Batch Job is to save time from manual labour, and sometimes having to go through tens of folders and subfolders and manually selecting all image files to be batch processed is a very manual and time consuming process.

 

Thanks

[Accept shorthand hexadecimal colours like in CSS]

Hi,

 

I remember seeing this requested once or twice and I've even requested this myself 2 years ago and I thought it would've been simple to implement.

 

Can we please have support for shorthand 3 character "hex" colour values like in CSS that combine 2 duplicate characters into 1 - i.e white can be #FFF instead of the more verbose #FFFFFF, yellow – #FC0 instead of #FFCC00, #333 for dark grey instead of #333333 etc.

 

Currently, only #000 for black accidentally works, but none of the other shorthand values do.

 

Thanks.

And another +1 bump for this feature, please.

[Colour Picker - problems and feasible solution]

While we are at it, here's an idea for another usability improvement of the colour picker:

 

- Accept the entry of 3 digit HEX values, I'm sure that web designers used to the shorthand CSS syntax would appreciate that.

 

For example, white (#FFFFFF) could be represented as #FFF, but Affinity would change the 3 digit value to #000FFF which is actually blue.
