And still I ask, Who are you to belittle my opinions?

That's a BS response to my serious consideration. Who are you to say?

That doesn't really mean much when a person responds to posts about the health of the company instead of the company putting out posts of their own. (Like, what happened to the occasional newsletter.) I wonder if they're in a death spiral at this point.

By the 9th message in a row about version numbering, it had become a bad thing. I was just thrilled that there might soon be an upgrade to Designer.

Boy, y'all have lost the point of this entire thread.

I was, of course, being facetious with my original comment. What I'd really like to know is if they're still in business or just barely hanging on, because they still haven't fixed some very simple and basic issues, and the frequency of their updates seems to be waning.

At least they're trying.

Hey, I'd be happy to see an update of any sort. I'd even pay for it at this point.

Okay, but it should say "Big Sur and later", because following paths are confusing. Thanks.

Hello, I upgraded from an Intel Mac Mini to an M1 model using Migration Assistant and now I find that while my library of hand-done assets came over correct, my much larger library of vector & raster brushes are gone. Where can I find these on MAS-bought copy of AD 1.10.5 so I can grab them from the old machine and copy them to the new? Thanks

Seeing this thread started in 2019, and nothings changed, I'm sorry to say you are looking far forward into the future.

Thanks. We tried to get this to work, but nothing's changed. Then it stuck us. We don't get the ability to see full-scale previews on the iPad (which is what we used for some time). (Of course, you can pinch to zoom on an iPad.) Still, wish they would add the ability to rip off a tab into a separate window in non-Seperate Mode. Life would then be wonderful!

So you’re saying you can put them on different monitors on Windows? Whadda rip!

As far as we can tell, you can put them on two different monitors only when you're in Separated windowing mode. Otherwise, the new View just becomes another tab that you can't rip away. Unless we're doing something wrong. (Which would be wonderful if that's the case and we are, in fact, wrong.)

Actually, just answered our own question concerning two copies, since we also have AP on the same machine and thus can open the same file. There appears to be no way to refresh the AP version, so it doesn't update. We did find that we can "open" the files using macOS's Quick View, which does update when we save the file. Only problem there is that the preview of Affinity files are so small. Does anyone know of a way to change the size of the Quick View? If we resize the window, the image just shrinks back when it updates. Thanks again.

It comes down to much preferring non-separated windowing while using AD on the Mac (because the separated toolbars are hinkey as heck, causing issues). But what we also want to see a full view of our document on another display while working on a zoomed-in version on our pen displays, because the Navigator's resolution is just too lousy for our work. Tried making a copy of the AD app and opening it with the original running, so we could open the same document, but it said we had two copies running, so, "No." Would be wonderful to have the ability to separate off a view from the tabs when in non-separated mode (like just rip it off as you can Safari); or a Navigator with better resolution. Is there away way to get this to work now, though? Thanks.

Thanks, but as far as I can tell, doing New View in non-Separated Mode just puts it into another, non-separable tab. The Navigator panel was a great idea. Only now I understand why there's the other thread about the Navigator view being so low-res with that shading box.

I have two monitors, one being a pen display, which is somewhat small. I'd like to be able to put the file I'm working on on the pen display, zoomed in to work, while I have a second view showing the full file on the bigger display. Is there a way to do this without using Separated Mode, which puts my tools in odd places that float over the file? Thanks.

Searched and can't find answer… Is there a way to turn off the pencil icon when using the Pencil Tool in AD Mac, Design Mode? Instead using crosshairs or circle? I think it's the cause of a perceived parallax issue with my pen display. (Well, I'd like to check anyway.) The Brush Tool just shows a circle for the size. Thanks.

Yes. The point being, it's been over a year and eight months since it was logged. We're fortunate that we work almost exclusively in vector. Never understood why Pixel Brush is made the primary brush. Personally, we've yet to meet anyone who uses it other than getting through it to get to the paint brush. Maybe we live sheltered lives.

Well, that doesn't seem to mean much. We cleared the Pixel Brush shortcut and it still gets selected when we hit B. So we changed it to L, which made the B go to the real brush, but as stated above, as soon as we quit out and restart Designer, the Pixel Brush shortcut is reset in the preferences and B now sends us to the Pixel Brush again. Worse, we have the Use SHIFT Key to Cycle Through Tools turned on to keep from having to check if we've jumped to some other tool when we press the shortcut, so B will put us on the Pixel Brush and then not let us get to the REAL brush. So, no plans to fix this? Ever?

More steps than what we should have to do. Why can't AD send the native AD file from the Share menu item in the app itself, and why should we have to save it to the iPad and then go to the Files app to share it back? When are Serif going to fix this? It's 2021, ferchristsake!

You have altered my life. Thank you.

But I want it to hide. I want all of the UI to hide when I'm not using it. Which it didn't. But when I don't want it to hide, like just after creating a new layer, it does. But it does seem to be fixed in AD 1.10. Too bad there's still no key command to Hide/Unhide the UI, rather than make me hit that little target. Or to Deselect. Or Delete. Or Undo. Or Redo.

Designer for iPad 1.10.5. Easily repeatable. Go to the Color panel, set the background fill to one color and the stroke to a different color. Bring the stroke color to front. Select the Vector Brush and set the stroke color by using the controller. It will update the color for the stroke in the Color panel. Paint: Fine. Go to Color panel and select (bring to front) the background color. Go back to Brush. Color in Brush controller still displays the color set for stroke in the Color panel. Paint: Uses the color in front in the Color panel (the color seen at the top right), not the color selected in the Brush controller, which still shows the original color. How it should work: Vector Brush should use color selected in the controller, regardless of what's set in the color panel when the fill color is in front. Or else update the controller's color.
