Anyone any idea why my top ruler is covered by the UI? Left one is showing normal, the top one I can only briefly see when hiding the whole UI 😬 I can add horizontal guides from the Guides Settings, though the ruler is still not showing up I'm on iPad Pro 12.9 4th gen, so screen size shouldn't be an issue I think? 🤔

Good to know that this workaround is possible though it would be very handy to have .af.. extensions in the export tab as well because creating a new document from a copied selection means they get out of sync or I have to make sure to copy, create from clipboard, export, delete, sure works but is way more overhead than just being able to export a specific area as .af file. Also when considering this then please also for iPad as I'm mostly needing it there to continue work in another affinity app Or another more seamless integration like on desktop between the 3 apps on iPad would be very appreciated 🤓

Affinity Video editor on the horizon?
CanRau replied to VectorCat's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
Also DaVinci now available for iPad 🥰 -
Hello 🙋🏻♂️ Is there a way of using a field from my data merge source as a way of changing for example text or table cell color? I would provide the color as e.g. #hex (or another format) and use this as the text or cell color. Also fantastic would be if I could somehow tell some text to be bold via my data source 🥰🚀

Maybe projections could be like the live filter "Perspective" 😃

Update I'm actually not sure if this idea actually works, just now trying it out but the problem I'm facing is exiting (clearing) the projection, tried on all layers though the merged layer doesn't seem to know about this so it stays in the projection 🤔 I can't even duplicate, then merge then exit the projection 😭 I feel like the projection should be on the document and not on a layer, please correct me if I'm missing anything, but right now I can't think of a useful reason to have it bound to a layer as I can't imagine needing multiple equirectangular projections in one document¿? So I think it would be really fantastic if at least equirectangular projections could be on the whole document so you don't have to remember which layer to select to clear it and also support non-destructivenes by remembering the correct position of all layers etc so no merging would be necessary 😍🥳 By the way I'm currently talking about all this stuff on iPad, haven't tested the desktop (Mac) version yet 🙃 So my current workflow is: select all layers merge selected clear projection export undo clear projection and merge selected to be ready for any possible changes Which does ONLY work if you DON'T move within the projection as anything else wouldn't move with it, so making it actually half useless So I highly agree with @adubio that non-destructive layering is actually really important, otherwise it get's really complicated and frustrating 😔 Sorry for all the text 😵 too overwhelmed right now to try to strip it down 😵💫

Format Variable in Export Persona
CanRau replied to CanRau's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on Desktop
-
Hi, I just realized that the Export Persona on Desktop is way more advanced and convenient than the one on iPad where I sadly can only esport one format per slice and also the "path" per slice & format is amazing. One convenience would be to have a predefined Variable for the export format, this way I could have one set to apply to all selected slices which then automatically exports to folders per format 🤩 Also probably other variables could be interesting and/or actually regex support then I might be able to pull the file format from the filename 🤯🤔 Cheers, also just released a free pride-flag collection, which was much easier on desktop then on iPad where I initially created and tried to export all the different flags and formats etc using multiple artboards for each format etc 😳 if you're curious https://gum.co/pride-flags Happy Pride Month 🏳️🌈

Installing fonts
CanRau replied to GrosseFreiheit's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Just wanted to mention 2 free alternatives to AnyFont for future people Fontinator which is by the creators of Vectornator Fontcase Both work for me on my iPad, at least with Affinity Designer, which should tell that they work anywhere else, too 😉 -
Johny's Power Vignette (TUTORIAL)
CanRau replied to Jakerlund's topic in Tutorials (Serif and Customer Created Tutorials)
This is fantastic, love how flexible it is 🥳 Thank you 🙏 -
That did the trick 🥳 Thanks a lot 🙏 Interestingly deleting the just created category hides the synced assets again.. just a fyi
-
Yea that’s what I meant by “it took ages” 😅 anyways, just synced them in Photo as well, yet the assets are not showing ups as expected, assets studio is completely empty 😳🤔 I for example synced the “Sunlight Effect Overlays by Paper Farms” which came for free with 1.9, which is showing as expected in Designer, but not in Photo 🥺 what am I doing wrong? Maybe I should open another topic for this, right?
-
As stated in my reply I can export the brushes/assets and then import, that’sa workaround to fix double downloads, still they’ll take up double the disc space even though they’re the same, which I believe could be solved if both apps could access storage of each other or have a separate assets app where all brushes, fonts, assets etc are stored and the main apps access them from 🥳

Trouble with Perspective Projection
CanRau replied to Tyger_purr's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Hmm I’m facing the same distortion problem as OP while it’s working as expected in all the videos like this https://youtu.be/eAZdsNeNa1A, it’s “cropped” but not distorted and actually to me it would make more sense without cropping it to fit the canvas but rather show the whole plane in the projection that’s what I get not exactly what I expected 🤔 -
Exactly that would be fabulous 🥳 Took me ages to download the around 3gb of brushes and textures of the for free offered bundles coming with 1.9 Store Sync feature in Affinity Designer on my iPad. Sadly I have to do the same again for Photo 🤯 would be nice if a DAM (Digital Assets Manager) could unify all this at least per device and then sync everything via new Store Sync 😻🚀 I hope Serif is secretly already working on that DAM 🤞 just realized that I can at least export everything from Designer than import in Photo but all that sounds like a lot of duplication on disc direkt it? It literally screams for an additional app to unify not only sync but storage as well, don’t you think? 😁

“Marching ants” deselection on iPad

Would be cool to have the same select X icon in the lower left as in Designer 😇 -
Affinity Video editor on the horizon?
CanRau replied to VectorCat's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
I also think it’s not (yet) a logical next step. To me a DAM (asset manager) would be more logical and personally desired 😁 though I answer actually to suggest some free and amazing video editors Shotcut - a free, open source, cross-platform (win, mac, linux) video editor https://shotcut.org/ DaVinci Resolve is the world's only solution that combines editing, color correction, visual effects, motion graphics and audio post production all in one software https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/ DaVinci Resolve is completely free, truly remarkable and you’ll find many Adobe converters on YouTube. Also for iPad InShot and LumaFusion the latter which I haven’t tried yet personally and is the only paid app here. Cheers -
As mentioned in Support & Questions Emoji support in the Text tool would be amazing 🤩 Just wanted to turn it into a feature request 😇
