  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
  5. 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.
  6. 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^^).
  7. 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.
  8. 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?
  9. 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)
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. There is no doubt that one can achieve a lot with Affinity. And there is no doubt that the Affinity Suite, especially AD is fantastic and a great value compared to the one-time payment price. But still, it can be made even better. And the thing with the not true vector brushes, they could have communicated this little thing more clearly. It's just, if someone buys AD and it states that it's a Vector based program, you assmue that you also have vector based brushes. At least that's what I tought when I bought AD and all the "vector" brushes for this programm. I really hope, that the devs will make a clear statement on this topic, whether or not we can ever expect real vector brushes. And if they say no, then at least this issue is settled and we can all move on.
  14. Finally, thank you for this long needed feature. Even if it takes ages, you guys listening to your customers. Thank you.
  15. Despite V. 2.1. now having some really cool features and I finally started working with the Affinity Designer for Ipad again, I have to say that I miss this "feature" too. I bought tons of so called "vector" brushes for AD just to find out afterwards, that they're basically raster brushes in the end. And the response here: is not constructive or helpful at all. Vector brushes should have been real vector brushes right from the start, and it wasn't clear to me as a new user back then.
  16. Hello there, I'm getting some weird artifacts when using the pen tool. You can see it right at the beginning of the attached video. After that I can continue to work as intended. This bug seems to appear randomly and I encountered it just today. I'm working on an Ipad pro M1 2021, the Wifi 500gb 8GB Ram Version. Ipad OS is 15.5 and therefore currently up to date. The video shows the artifact even after I restarted the Ipad to try if the artifacting goes away. And overall the performance, especially when drawing with some brushes, seems to be worse than on my old Ipad Air 2019 that I have been using before the Ipad Pro. Maybe it's the IpadOS 15.5 Update that's causing all this stuff. On the other hand my other apps seem to work fine. Img 1159.m4v
  17. Yeah. I‘m still waiting. About half a year ago I even messaged them in Twitter. There they responded that they are going to solve this. Just sad. It‘s a basic function and not some otherworldly magic. 😒
  18. So, still no updates on this since 2018? There are obvious some people who really need this function.
