I really dont know whats going on behind the scenes but Im tired and I cant anymore. Im leaving.

Its very frustrating. So many things missing. So many things wrong. So many years of nothing. Users should not be feeling like this. Im sorry my friend.

Yeah, no. Everything you said is wrong and I say that because there is a theory that justifies why buttons closer to you is better than reaching for them at the top or corner. I forgot the theories name. I have to look it up but it justifies why adobes context toolbar works. Again, i forgot the name. Ill get it to you later when it comes to me. Affinity making you reach the bottom left corner is them stopping and breaking up your workflow. Three finger swipe is now available in v2 so the delete button is now in the quick menu. Adding it back does hurt because now our workflows are being stopped and broken up.

No because it forces you to go all the way to the bottom left screen for a simple action. if it was just under your object that you want to delete you wouldnt have to do so much reaching for a simple action. its a better workflow to have the delete button below your object for a one tap process. thats why adobe has that context tool bar with common actions to make it easy for users to delete, lock, duplicate, etc instead of making them reach the corners of their interface.

I dont know whats going on right now. I feel like im being played by serif. Im so baffled and cant figure out why they would make these illogical design decisions. Im so starstruck right now. Im so baffled. Im so perplexed at these design decisions. My god! What is going on at serif? What is going on? I feel like they took 10 steps back. What are we doing? The context toolbar for each tool used to be at the bottom in v1 but now its merged at the top with the new toolbar. Which is bad because one toolbar disappears to make room for the other toolbar and then everything is squeezed into this one small area toolbar. And then sometimes the context toolbar is split into 2 with some properties being at the top and now some properties that are now sliders to the left of the interface. Which those properties didnt have to turn into sliders because they were just fine as circles on the context toolbar at the bottom in v1. So now we have context toolbars at the top that conflict with the other toolbar at the top, sliders to the left that shouldnt be sliders, and context toolbars that are split into 2 and everythings everywhere and its so many steps back from what we had before. Ugh. And then some icons dont have names so your forced to guess what some icons on the context toolbar do and its just SO bad. Im truly crying on the inside from the bad design. I cant anymore. What is going on at serif? What are we doing?😭😢😞

This is such a basic concept. Up to move the layer above. Down to move the layer below. And middle to create a clipping mask. Using a lines "thickness" as an indicator for clipping mask is VERY bad design. Its such bad design that I assumed they removed the clipping mask blue line through this forum post's title. I named it why they removed it. It wasnt removed. Thats how bad it is. SMH.

A thin line to show movement and a slightly thicker line to indicate clipping mask is not good. I barley noticed it. This line "thickness increase" is not a helpful indicator. The line being in the middle of the layer WAS the helpful indicator. smh.

OMG. I just noticed it. Its a thicker blue line at the bottom of the layer for a clipping mask. I dont like this. This is the way the desktop version behaves. It was so much better with the line showing up in the middle of the layer for a clipping mask action. Not a thicker line at the bottom of the layer. Sigh. It needs to go back as the v1 version where all blue lines are the same in thickness and the middle blue line on the layer indicates a clipping mask. Its so easy to under stand. Up and down blue line indicates moving the layer up and down and middle blue line indicate clipping mask.

When you create a clipping mask on designer v1 on ipad, there was always a blue line that would appear in the middle of the layer that you were going to clip to. This middle blue line told you that you were going to create a clipping mask. Its gone now on v2. Why? Please bring it back. That blue middle line that appeared on the layer was a guide/indicator that told users, "hey, youre creating a clipping mask." It was helpful. Now with v2, to create a clipping mask, the layer just hovers over the other layer and it doesnt indicate that youre creating a clipping mask. It was better with the middle blue line showing up on the layer. Theres just no reason to remove this. This middle blue line was a favorite feature of mine on the ipad because I always hated how the desketop version did its clipping mask. Showing a middle blue line on the layer was great! Please bring it back. You didnt have to remove it. Its a helpful indicator for users.

Are you kidding me? What is there to solve? First, you didnt see the problem with the "?" being at the bottom right corner. Then you suggested adding a delete button where our palm rests so we can delete our work and now you dont see the problem here? Again, I just cant debate with you, my friend. I cant. I cant, my friend. . Youre not seeing it. I gotta go.

You mean what the layer studio can already do? i hate when ppl use this argument. It solves and does absolutely nothing.

What is going on over there at a serif headquarters?

Nobody asked for a layer "compact mode." Why would you even give us that, Serif? Like, making our layers just big thumbnails does nothing. Why would you make big thumbnails on small ipad screens? Like, thats gonna take up screen space. Like, what am I supposed to do with these big thumbnails of my layers? I can already close the layer studio to hide it and free up valuable space. So why am I given just big thumbnails of my layers? So that I can toggle each layer on and off? Because that ALL I CAN do with compact mode. Anything else I would have to hit the "<" button to show my layer studio and get to my other layer options. Collapsing the layer studio by hitting the layer studio button already frees up space so why give us a blown up version of our layers that does nothing. It just fills up my ipad screen with big thumbnails of my layers. If anything it FILLS UP our display space with a useless panel of blown up layer thumbnails. What is happening? How did you not see this logic and then go off to say on your site" oh well compact mode is a new feature to simplify you display, freeing up valuable space for the really important stuff." Like, get real! Oh my god! And the brush "compact mode" is even worse! You really expect us to chose a brush based on its stamp image?!?! This is so wrong! This is unbelievable that you think users work like this. Nobody selects a brush based on its stamp image. Its always been a brush stroke preview that we choose from. Never a brush stamp. Seriously. Imagine the app Procreate with its brush library as just a bunch of brush stamps thumbnails. It doesnt work that way. Procreate has a library full of brush stroke previews for its users to choose from. Whos idea of compact mode was this? This is so unnecessary. The layer studio could already collapse to free up space. This feature needs to be removed. Im so baffled. This is so terrible. You literally took the layer studio, scaled it up in size to take up valuable ipad screen real-estate and said, "yeah, this frees up space." BIG. NO.

I know! 5 yrs and still no UI customization.

My friend, I cant debate with you because you dont know whats actually happening with the "'?" button being down there and your suggestion to put a delete button under our palm to delete our work is a wrong solution.

No because everything users create is just going to be deleted from their palm triggering the delete button. You cant have anything at the bottom right corner of the interface. Our palm rests there. Anything under our palm is going to trigger whats under there.

I've said this from the very beginning. YOU CAN NOT HAVE THE "?" BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER!! Users are right handed. Their palm rests at the bottom right screen of the ipad so their palm is going to trigger this "?" button and its going to cause WORKFLOW DISRUPTION. It causes DISRUPTION. Please remove the "?" button from all apps from the bottom right corner of the apps interface and move it to the top left corner of the app interface.

I just saw that new quick menu is a 3 finger gesture. This is all wrong. it should be a 1 finger tap. It was like that in the old version. This needs to be changed immediately. Immediately. Its needs to be changed back to how it was. It should not be a 3 finger swipe down gesture. It is easier for it to be a 1 finger tap.

The delete button shouldnt even be there at the bottom left. Its good that they removed it from there. The only issue is that the delete button should be under a new context menu under each object but that context menu has not been created by serif. Think of the bar that appears under each object in the adobe illustrator app.

I know you just released v2 and all the old v1 feedback and suggestion forums were removed but I need serif to make a separate feature requests and suggestions forum for each v2 product because this whole forum is about to get messy. Lets get organized.

Right. I dont want to enter larger numbers because i want to increase that default 100pt limit. So how do I increase it? I dont want to enter them manually. I want to increase this slider 100pt max.

Ugh. And then when you enter a number in the slider above 100pt, and you come back to change that slider, the slider goes back to 0pt to 100pt. It ignores the number you had entered. So if I enter 300pts. My slider should go from 0pts to 300pts. No. If you move your slider it goes back to 0pts to 100pts. Its so annoying. Just let me enter a max value for the slider pt and let the slider go from 0pt to that max value pt I entered.

How do I change the 100pt standard for everything? The max stroke width is 100pt. The radius in fx goes up to only 100pt. Everythings 100pt. How do I increase it? I hate entering a number automatically because Im limited by 100px. I need more than 100pt. Im being limited. I want to go into the preferences and increase that 100pt to like 200pt or 300pt so that next time I change my slider the max pt is what i had set it to. I can just slide the slider from 0 to the number i put in withouth being limited to 100pt. Its so frustrating. Let users increase the pt to sliders in preferences.

no. thats not it.

I shouldnt have said "bounding box." Im aware it also changes the size of the curve nodes as well. I think my issue was it being called "Tool" because I was looking at the tools in the toolbar. Its not tool related. its object related.
