So there's still no quick and easy way to do this?

Unwanted lines on curves and shapes joints

I see thanks for getting to the bottom of this terrible issue.. So not only does everything have to be integers, but it has to be integers in a unit scale I'm not even using for my design! Crazy. I'm a Senior Software Engineer by trade who's worked on game engines which often use vectors internally in 2D and 3D. These fractional issues for alignment have been a solved problem for decades. The actual design render works perfectly in AD. It's just simply not good enough. I should not have to move objects around that are mathematically perfectly touching for the export to behave correctly. Converting from MM to any other unit does not change this. Thanks for finding the issue. -

I've boiled it down to two objects that still do this. They have integer dimensions in MM. Document is integer in mm. Line between objects.afdesign

dimension lines (traits de cote)

If the current ruler tool simply left a permanent curve + text on the drawing it would satisfy 99% of the needs of the people here and would be easy to do. Nothing more needs to be done. Obviously this would be a checkbox. -

I'm having this issue too with just about every design where there are objects placed (and snapped) next to others. It looks fine in the application when editing, but when I export (and the export window itself) I get lines between objects. V2.4.2

How do I convert curves to a shape. I'm not asking how to fill the shape, but make the actual lines of the shape itself a filled object. Basically the same as this post that was archived for pre V2.0 of AD Thanks.

Yes it is strange. The algorithm itself for tracing will be fairly short in C/C++ code that will almost completely be platform agnostic as it's just manipulating data and not a lot of system specific APIs. This can with very minor (if any) tweaks be used inside the codebases for Windows, iPad and MacOS versions of Affinity Designer. If for some reason the mac versions are Objective-C, the conversion to/from C will be extremely minimal. I do this all of the time, it's less than a day's work for a single developer.

Ultra quick workflow for loading, editing and saving an image in-place?

Ok I follow you now. Thanks Anyway to both of you. This is cleared up now. Thanks.

TGA is a very common raster format and it doesn't work. It forces me to save as afphoto when I click save, even with no changes. It doesn't work with the save dialog though. It forces me to save as afphoto when I click save, even with no changes.
-
I've just checked this with Photo 2.x (which I just upgraded to from 1.x) and it works as you've both said. I tried it with a TGA and when I hit save the only option is afphoto format? So I assume some formats do work, others don't? As a side note 99% of what I use is PNGs anyway, so this ain't an issue and essentially makes this now a very minor edge case.
-
I use the suite mostly for game development and in that there's often times where something like a PNG needs to be opened, very quickly edited and then saved in-place over the top. The whole process can often last <10 seconds with Photoshop and basically 99% of image editing tools over the last 30+ years. With Affinity Photo, this extremely quick process is doubled in duration or more due to having to export the image rather than just being able to click save without ANY thought. Because this process is something that can happen 1000's or more times during the production of a game, this extra red-tape becomes annoying VERY quickly to the point that this simple thing can (and does) force us to use other tools. Has V2.x fixed this issue or is there a workflow change workaround? PS. Again I would like to stress this extra step DOES make a huge difference to workflow and causes issues even if to someone who's use case does not need to make these small but extremely frequent changes can't perceive it.

As the title says. UPDATE: I meant right-click edit for file types other than .afxxxx like bmp, png, etc

So this was never actually properly implemented after 8 years?. If you hold ALT while moving a node (which you have to to move one side independently of the other), the snapping doesn't work. It only works if you move both nodes.
