lovely -exactly what i was looking for - thanks @Psenda

I there anywhere a master list of plugins which work with affinity? Even an unofficial one? I already have Designer and Photo, still mainly using photoshop for image editing and would love to minimise that I want to invest in broadening my filter toolset a bit but focus on plugins which are known to work - even partially, with affinity. Any clues on this will be appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply A_B_C, and going to the trouble of making a video. I'm definitely not choosing the the Vector Brush tool - I'm selecting the Artboard tool. The second from top tool on the tools palette. I may be getting vector brush behaviour but the tool i select IS the Artboard tool. I'm a very experienced (and passionate) user of AD - from it's earliest releases (coming from a Freehand background). I know what the vector brush tool is but i'm not choosing it. And currently i'm using 1.6 and 1.7 concurrently so i have a clear picture of the differences. Something fundamental is wrong here. I could make another video but i hope the above makes this clear. What next?

So those 'by design' behaviours are new ? But unannounced? The tools are behaving very differently from alpha, and the option-drag behaviour is different from (I think) all my other apps. As to the problem selecting i mentioned - that is almost certainly a bug, and again different from the release version. I've videoed the issue at https://www.dropbox.com/s/yahaw6czy9l3qu1/Affinity designer Beta artboard select bug.mov?dl=0 I's mostly in outline mode to see what is actually going on - the artboard tool cannot select artboards. And it can't creat them - instead it draws an arc. Methinks something is rotten in Denmark… Tim

I should add - it's also sometimes impossible to even select an existing artboard for editing, wth the artboard tool or in the layers palette :(. Also that with the regular select tool, drag copy can be done IF the option key is pressed before any slecting. Though for Artboard drag/copy is completely broken, every time Tim

Two quite bad issues that seem related. I can't move or drag to copy with option using the the Artboard field. The tool insists on creating a new artboard over the original artboard. And with the general selector tool i can move but can't option/drag to copy. These issues are specific to the current 1.7.0.4 beta. I've searched but can't find anyone else with the issue. AM running MacOS 10.13.6 I would be very glad of a solution as I er… have a real project running using beta, with no way back. Thanks

Somewhere I saw reference to an export persona for Publisher - but can find nothing like that - we have links to designer and photo instead (which fail) ATM I'm using export but is there to be a Persona focussed on export as with designer?

update - finally got the DL with yet another attempt, different email - I have no idea what made the difference. Very much looking forward to taking publisher for a spin this week on a couple of small projects.

By which i mean - I HAVE verified my email many times. Multiple emails, multiple accounts, multiple browsers, multiple logins. Still get the requirement to verify.

I have the same problem - no matter how many times (I've tried at least TEN so far - i'm a desperate man) i verify i still get a requirement to verify before i can download. I have also deleted cookies and tried different browsers AND tried registering under a new mail/ PLEASE????

plus one on all of those things, but i don't expect it should take focus from current development

Just a little thing really but - currently, as soon as artboards are cloned they appear in the layers panel under the same name, and it's difficult to know which is which without clicking around the place. Of course they will eventually get proper names, but it would be lovely if they just named themselves Artboard 1, Artboard 2 etc when cloned. That is all.

Thanks - so basically - web UX/UI designer person should ignore Builder for now? Am still wondering if some of these path fields and whatnot are something I could/should be making use of - or are they also Builder / Xcode specific? - http://snpy.in/vLArrz

I'm always big on batch processing and an efficient export workflow. I've spent quite a bit of time trying to get the most out of AD 1.5 exporting - but i'm still mystified at what Batch Builder actually does. No help on it. No google returns outside of the feature list saying: Batch Builder for multi-slice imagesets (Xcode asset JSON) And it seems to be very oriented around touch icons - is there scope for more? Please affinity, let us in on the secret?

I'm working in a Sketch shop and have to supply sketch files as deliverables - or at least for archive purposes. Copy/Paste from AD appears true visually so that's great. problem is that my careful organisation and labelling of elements in AD is lost. Given that Affinity is making a big play for UI use in 1.5, I think tidying up this part of the realworld workflow that many of us in this area have to deal with, is essential. Sketch has such a grip on this area, we need to be able to deliver editable files that are organized ande make sense to Sketch users. Obviously it's impractical to relabel everything on export, then do it again (once would be beyond practical) on the next export. Hoping this isn't a big ask - given the structure is there already - its just the labelling that's getting lost (I think)
