Seems it isn't a priority for Affinity. But I am happy now that my tool of trade for vector work on OSX got an update recently and works now fine again on OSX. So I rest my case with Affinity Designer now :-)

Yea, please. I was trying to setup a grid for a sprite sheet the other day and after 5 min i gave up and did the job in Inkscape. You need to add something so we can add/change grids quickly.

In Inkscape, I can tell the app to have a grid of a specific size. While creating spritesheets for games, I like to work on a square document with a size of 512x512 for an example. For this I set the grid there to in a size of 8x8 or 16x16. So far I don't see a possibility to define the grid size in Affinity which makes it less usefull when working on game related content for me. Did I miss a setting or is the grid size automatically set by the app?

Awesome, can't wait till photo and publisher are released.

No problem. I just thought it would be a great addition but as you have mentioned, you can do this in others ways too.

Some kind of flood fill tool would be awesome, which creates a shape that is based of the vector lines/shapes around the mouse click.

I would love to be able to save line profiles so they can be reused in a new document. So far I think they are only be saveable inside one document.

Hi all, just found out about Affinity today and was totally thrilled to see a new vector art programm on OSX. In my spare time I love to do many things. Besides writing and game development , I create art for games and illustrations. For myself and clients. For this I have used programs like Inkscape and Adobe Illustrator in the past. Lately I was using Manga Studio 5 exclusively as it has some kind of vector functionality too and the drawing part is imho the best in the industry when you love to use tablets like a WACOM Intuos 5 for an example. Which I do. I run my apps mainly on a 2009 Imac with OSX 10.8.6 on it. But I have Windows machines at home too. Still, I love to work on a Mac, everything works for my needs. Got the Apple virus and no medicine will get rid of it :D With Affinity, I look forward to see how I can utilize it for my game art needs. I just had it open for 5 minutes, so I am a total Affinity newbie. I have played with DrawPlus6 before but somehow it didn't click with me. Plus it was Windows only :-) Anyway, looking forward to see what others are doing with Affinity and what I can create with it. Cheers Michael Hartlef
