It depends on how they will handle their software in the future, I guess. I for sure won't spend any time with all this if the Affinity Suite becomes Canva-quality-grade.

For sure not

This is always the case, that big corpos will pull off their marketing lullabies, but at the end we all know the sad truth that's about to come.

The only question is whether Affinity will offer a subscription in the future? I have bought a lot of brushes for your software. Especially on the Ipad, I am not willing to pay any subscription fees. I have purchased your software twice (v1. & v2). You say there are no plans for subscriptions at this time. But just wait until the Canva bosses change their minds, because greed is a virus in upper management. RIP, Adobe Alternative.

Thank you so much 👍

So I encountered this thing, that when I select a font, let's say it's name starts with the letter B, and then I decide that I want to choose a different font, that's name starts with the letter... let's say N... and afterwards I want to choose another font even lower in the alphabet, I have always to scroll all the way down again, because the selection window will always show the first fonts again (those that start alphabetically with A). On the desktop, the last font selection is mmemorized so if I decide to choose another font, I don't have tor scroll my way again trough all the fonts. For me, I have a lot of fonts installed. So it would be really awesome if you could make the font selection work for Affinity Designer for Ipad (and probably all the other apps) work the same way as on the desktop - with the app memorizing the last selected font and bringing you just to the selected font in the right spot of the alphabet, instead of making us scroll trough from the beginning. I hope it's clear, what I mean. This should be an easy fix, I hope. Thanks!

They stated above that drag and drop will be fixed and that i cannot drag and drop files from AD to e.g. Procreate is a bug. I'm sure it's doable that if i have a vector shape that i want to drag and drop/copy-paste to another app, the shape will be placed as a png, I think that's most convenient. And if i need a certain format like PDF or SVG or whatever, I of course need to use the export/copy-paste function.

Thanks for the solution. This is a good workaround. Still, drag and drop is way more convenient and this approach won't work for Procreate Dreams (I know, maybe the devs back over at Procreate should also improve their App, but it's still very fresh, which is why they are forgiven a little more currently^^).

This is RAD! Thanks a lot. I hope they can fix this soon.

So it seems there is no way to drag and drop a vector shape from Affinity Designer into Procreate! Why do I always encounter such issues, when I'm motivated to create with AD! It's the same with importing color-palettes... at least they fixed that after several years. I can drag and drop and/or copy-paste from Procreate or from Artstudio Pro into AD. but when I have a shape i want to copy paste into Procreate or Artstudio Pro, it simply won't work. I am pretty sure that this is not an iOS-issue with their restrictions or something, because as I said, copy-pasting elements between other apps is not a problem. Please Serif, why do you ignore those details? For some it seems like a minor thing, but such stuff is essential for a smooth workflow. Now I have to first save the shape as PNG and the reopen that in Procreate? Seriously? That's so inconvinient. Please, fix that.

Thanks for the reply. So are there any plans to change that? It can get really annoying when you constantly switch between two brushes. This corrupts the entire workflow. Please guys, fix this. This can't be that big of a deal, can it?

So, I was using some raster brushes in the pixel Persona in Affinity Designer. I used brush 1, set the size and flow and so on, painted some stuff, and then switched to brush 2. Again I changed the size, opacity etc. and painted with brush 2. When I now switched to brush 1 again, my previous settings got overwritten by the default settings of the brush. So the size and everything else was back to how the brush was when I first used it. So, is there any way to prevent this? For example, in Procreate the brushes that I use keep the setting that I have set (size, opacity), if I recall correctly, not only in the current document, but even App-wide. It would be great if the Designer app remembers how I have set the brush, at least for the document I'm working on. It's really annying to be forced to set the brush size again every time I switch a brush. Or am I missing something? Some additional info: The brushes are third party brushes I bought. I'm working on an M1 Ipad Pro, everything is up to date and the version of Affinity Deisgner is of course the newest (2.3.0.2165)

Sounds like you should try to cantact the official Affinty support. I had to do it once, too. Sounds like you should try to cantact the official Affinty support. I had to do it once, too.

Your're basically right, but the Adobe Apps haven't crashed for me for a god while now. It was the Wacom drivers that made the apps crash the last time. Anyways, I am suspecting the Christi‘s Comix Toolbox, that is sold in the Affinity store by the way, to have caused the crashes. With a new file, for now everything seems to work ok.

For me it started to crash today while sketching. No progress saved. These things remind me why Affinity is still not the best choice for professional work. I'm on the latest Ipad OS 16.5.1. on the M1 Ipad Pro 12.9 500gb and Designer is ofc. up to date as well. It's disappointing. I just started to like it again, and suddenly it keeps crashing. I used to have an Ipad Air 2019 and the support said it was a RAM issue. Now I have one of the latest and greatest Ipads available out there and the app still makes trouble.
