Could you enhance AD by adding rename snapshots feature? Regards

+ 1 for opening Sketch files

+1 for Markdown

Could you add the ability to stack effects? For example I would like to add to a one shape two outer shadows but with different colours and options like opacity so that they "intertwine" one through another.

Is it possible to add the ability to open / import sketch files?

This may be due to granularity the team is introducing by pushing their products to other platforms. I love to see the company flourishing and I love getting new features, I have even requested a preview App for the designs for iPhone and iPad. Yet, the more products the company releases the less focused it becomes. The Affinity Designer is for example a tool that I use all the time, but I too noticed that its development considerably slowed down, while there is a lot room for improvement of existing features in order to be a game changer on the Adobe dominated market.

Hello, Could you in a future make an iPhone / iPad preview App, that would enable the designer to preview selected art-board on the actual device? Regards

Hello How to find out in Affinity Designer and in Affinity Photo where the image has the transparency or alpha channes? I'm trying to import an App Icon to Itunes Connect, but I get the following error: images can't contain alpha channels or transparencies? The problem is described also here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25681869/images-cant-contain-alpha-channels-or-transparencies How to solve it with AD or AP. The png image (pixel) does not have any layers.

[AD] Could you program the Guides Manager window so that it can be made part of a sidebar left or right, and not floating window only? For example next to Transform, History, Navigator, Snapshots tabs. Thanks. WBR T.

Hi Madame, thanks, this is so far the best solution.

When I do that (copy artboards to the A4 document) the whole area turns greyish and I don't see the original A4 canvas. I wish there was a direct way to do this like select this and that, print it and done.

In the Draw Persona I have several arbtoards of different sizes. One artboard is 20x20 px. However when I switch to the export persona, the slice is 21x21 and is a little off from the original artboard. When I try to resize the slice I can either: 1) by dragging one of the sides of the slice make a 20x20 slice, which is a little bit off from the artboard boundaries. 2) make a 19x19 slice which is too little 3) make a 21x21 slice, which is too big. The snapping does not allow me to make a 0.5 px move. Holding option key while dragging the slice to ignore snapping does not seem to work, there is no effect. Currently the only solution I have found is to select the artboard, copy it, and make a new file from the clipboard. But it is quite tedious taking into account the fact, that I have many artboards in one file. How to make a 20x20 slice aligned with the artboard in a "normal way"?

v_kyr Thanks for taking time to point me out to the tutorial, but it does not seem to address my problem.

@VIPStephan I imagine currently in Affinity Headquarters some people might be singing: 99 little bugs in the code. 99 little bugs in the code. Take one down, patch it around. 127 little bugs in the code...

How to print four selected out of several iPhone artboards on one sheet of A4 paper? So far I've only read in the help file and tried an option to print one artboard per sheet or entire document.

I would like to ask for an ability to swap two elements with places. For example: Having two table cells in an UI design artboard one would be able to select the two and click "Swap" - the two elements (x, y) position would be swapped. This would save time rearranging things. Thanks.

Affinity Designer, I vote for this feature too. It would be great: here is my problem for example: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/34973-how-to-evenly-distribute-vertically-two-objects-inside-a-layer-on-a-background/

How to evenly distribute vertically two objects inside a rectangle object bounds? I would like to distribute the icon and the text evenly inside the greenish background rectangle. How to do it using the Arrange button options on the toolbar? Is there some specific order in which I should position the layers? I've tried to select the layers in different ways, and different distribution options using the AD help file but I was unable to get a quick automatic result so far. Cheers

What is the difference between a group and a layer? When to use one over the other? Cheers

Hi, I hope that in the future there will be an electronic version of the book that will get updates. All the best and good luck!

And how to measure one object from another object? When I select a vector layer and then hold cmd, then it shows me only the distance to the boundaries of the document. How to see the distance from another object that is underneath the cursor?

Followed and retweeted :)

+1 for this feature in Designer and Photo

First of all thanks for the artboards! They are great for working with UI designs. Please keep updating the predefined device sizes. Is there any way to create my own predefined sizes?

Hi, could you please think about adding in export dialog a resolution size preset? Thanks for considering and best regards from happy owner of Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer :) Example
