While using the Brushes panels, any action that I do, like, Move Brush, duplicate etc.. It crashes the app. Video attached: Using Windows v11 CLIP_10_59_21.mp4

@Bubuche sorry to say that, but it's not fixed, We are in the v2.2 but so far no editable text exported as PSD.

Blender Implements the Pie option very successfuly and it has many options, basically you move the mouse in only 1 direction, no need to scroll down. regard the mouse movement, from my experience, it doesn't take you too much efforts. by the way, affinity iPad offer this option

I'd like to address this UI suggestion Menu/Shortcut. Shortcuts to be displayed like a "Pie" / radial menu, this seems to be more clean visually and modern look compared to the actual List Menu

Hi Ash, Thanks for the update, Question: Is it possible to add the Pen tool Functions to shortcuts panel? On the preference, the Pen Tool seems to lack of giving these options like: Convert to Sharp, Curves, Close etc... Thanks

@PaulEC this is all about the industry standard, I'm using Affinity since 2018 and 100% of clients and team members still ask PSD as deliver file. This is an obstacle that I see most professionals saying: "I can't use Affinity because my Company workflow use Adobe" Not having Editable text is a huge deal when you work with projects that contain text and have other team that uses Adobe, they can't simply continue the workflow. Then you have this barrier that prevent New users to come to Affinity because they are afraid to be Isolated. This is very reasonable, Adobe is still the company that rule the market standards, we all know that.

In addition, In Blender, there is a function called Merge Vertices and Auto Merge that is nearby, Seeing the use of Vector Flood Fill in the current workflow as shown in the video tutorial for Lineart, this is a function that would require more attention.

Hi there, I found a potential issue using the Vector Flood fill in my workflow, I made a video tutorial showing and teaching how to use this tool, as Freehand illustration drawing, When we want to fill one area, unfortunately, we need to double-check all the lines that are not connected properly, because if so, the area will not work as it should. The solution for that, perhaps is to Add a tolerance for the Vector Flood fill, that consideres the lines very close, because if the line is not closed perfectly, it won't work as shown on the photos below or, add something like auto snapping during the use of Pencil tool, somehow. In the video I show this issue that I found in the process of working with Affinity 2. https://www.youtube.com/live/ex6_TXFK1f0?feature=share&t=1713 If you can take a look about this possibility, it would make this tools very usable for illustrators in this matter

@Patrick Connor for the first instance, I believe this Tool could be added alongside the Fill Tool as "subtool", like Pencil tool is doing with the Vector Brush, it would be more intuitive.

Hey, I've seen many users complaining that can't find the new Tool in the new version of Affinity Designer 2.1 It is not very clear that this tool is available inside the Dock panel. I made a tutorial to help these users to solve this.

@Illya Selezen When you have decimals on object transform in Affinity, Affinity increases the number. Even the options to move by whole pixel, it doesn't provide the best experience to solve this pixel increase issue, mainly when you work with many elements and if you hold Alt it can literally apply the decimals. I believe Affinity could provide a better user experience in regard to the pixel alignment, like have a function to force all elements to be placed in pixel. Since working with UI, we do always need to double-check the additional pixel and remove the decimals manually. This is

+1 I pretty understand about this frustration of not being able to export PSD in editable text I work with UI which requires a lot of text, and I deliver PSD files to my clients and team members, And it's a kind of real pain to not be able to co-work with the texts if they need to change something after me. I hope Affinity can give an opportunity to visit this thread since the market still have PSD as standard industry format. I assume that there have many users that still don't fully use Affinity apps because of the fear of incompatible projects workflow with others team members.

+ 1, Artboard Background Gray Level settings in Preference not changing.

Hi Mate, thanks for the quick reply The Ctrl+Shift together allows you to select the objects Directly, which means that, if an Object is inside a group or layer, you can select the very specific object that's why I use this a lot and notice this issue that was getting my experience quite strange.

VIDEO_21-04-23_as_08-09-59.mp4 I see what you mean, When I'm using the v2.0 the Ctrl + Shift works fine to select others objects inside other layers you know, However, as you can see in videos, while using 2.1, Ctrl + Shift to select objects that are children or inside a layer doesn't perform in the same way. in the v2.0 the CTRL + shift works nice to select objects directly with Ctrl + Shift that case, I prefer much more the way that the 2.0 works because I can select objects that are separated and VIDEO_21-04-23_as_08-13-27.mp4

Hi there, I have been testing a lot the latest build version I'm getting a very annoying problem in regard to the use of SHIFT and selections of objects and group Somehow when I try to select multiple objects, Affinity Designer simply glitches the selection as shown on video. Important Note: This is happening since two beta released versions. I've reseted my Affinity + Tried multiple documents, it happens same way. I tested in my two mouses + pencil, both react same way I will attach the video to show what is happening I'm using windows 11. VIDEO_20-04-23_as_16-49-02.mp4

Following up this. I love working with Affinity Designer to produce game assets and using Spine pro is the part of my workflow, this definitely would be great for artist like animators. @Callum any news?

Hi When I need to export some UI assets, I always find big issues during the slicing of the objects. This case, I'm getting the object increasing 1 pixel more, since I can't export this in wrong pixel, I usually remove the decimals to avoid slices results like this, but it's adding one pixel more even without the decimals..

same issue with mouse unfortunatelly, I have created a new document to see if was a document bug VIDEO_17-03-23_as_12-16-32.mp4

Hi I'd like to share this for feedback 2.0.1.1730 using Windows 10 Bug: After I use the freehand selection tool and then I Pan with (space) the selected area just gone, and there seems to have a delay to get it back while making the selection Anyway I hope this helps for the bug fixes see you VIDEO_17-03-23_as_10-28-05.mp4

Another example, If I select the Blend Mode or others header option, it keeps selected.. then I can't use the keyboard VIDEO_17-03-23_as_10-15-36.mp4

VIDEO_17-03-23_as_10-08-12.mp4 video demo to show my hotkeys being used to switch the tools and the option toggle still selected.

Hi there, I've updated the affinity to version 2.1.0.1730 I noticed that there is a highlight selection when I click on the option in the panel, that make the toggle option selected (blue corner) and any action that I do with my keyboard it doesn't work because affinity is keeping selecting the toggle field. Honestly, I found that this is making the experience quite bad, because once you enable it keeps the option selected then you need to click somewhere to unselect. Is it possible to get as normal?

yes, thanks for let me know I was wondering if was only here.. anyway the performance and crashes seems to be gone, and is working much better than 2.0

Hi, I'd like to bring this issue that I'm finding frequently while testing and using the Affinity Designer Beta 2.1.0.1714 When I just change the color panel or try to switch to other tool using the keyboard Affinity seems to ignore completely my keyboard commands Here is the video attached to show, (It's not on the keyboard side since it's working in other things, like alt+tab) Also, this is happening even if I restart the app or use other document.
