I just bought Affinity and its really great. Somehow I want to use it more for UI Design/Layouting but there are some Features missing.
The most important one would be to have a Scale 9 Support.
If you dont know what this is i could explain it quickly. Its about Stretching an element but dont stretch the Corners. So you define a Stretch area in the beginning and then you can stretch it to infinty and it will always looks good. so something like this:
GFX Library:
Also pretty useful would be to have a Library Panel where you have all you favorite/pre defined UI element like scrollbar, buttons, frames in it and just drag and drop them from your Library to your Canvas. something similar to pixeldropr http://pixeldropr.com/
Master Page
A Master Page Feature like in In Design would also be UI Designers favorite Toy. so when you change the Background/Header/Footer of your app in this Master Page, it changes everywhere else where this is Defined as Master Page
Guide Guide
i could not find any function to put a Guide at exactly X px by entering the value of it. Also something similar to Guide Guide for Photoshop would be useful http://guideguide.me/ so where you can set up a Guide in the middle of a document, divide the layout into X areas of the same size
so, what do you think about that? Or is something like this even planed?
