Mass inline pinning of images
carl123 replied to Steviegarrad's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Not sure I fully understand what you are doing but if you are just replacing text with coloured circles then this may work One way... Put the words you want in colour in the colour you want them Like this... "This is a <red icon>, this is a <blue icon>." Then any "text/character" you replace them with will already have those colours You can use a wingding font (or similar) to get a circle character So then do a find & replace ... <red icon> with that Wingding font/character <blue icon> with that Wingding font/character -
You can bind the same shortcut to two different tools and each press will toggle between them Which two tools are you trying to bind and to what shortcut key?

How to hide...
carl123 replied to prcmelo's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Hard to say without seeing the Affinity document but it may be "snapping candidates" So, try going to your snapping settings and untick "Show Snapping Candidates" If not that, please upload the document that shows the issue -
@christerdk I know you like patterned backgrounds but sometimes plain ones can showcase your work better. Just try different colours and pick whatever you like or whatever compliments the particular colours of the sourdough you are uploading to your social media. (Also, I think that image can benefit from a touch more sharpening but that may just be my aging eyes)

Remove Shadow from this Mountain ?
carl123 replied to augustya's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I just used the Clone Brush Tool to clone some of the sunnier sides of the mountain over the shadow area Hopefully the only things that will notice it's technically not the same mountain range will be a few mountain goats -
It's not a simulation, the file you need to edit is Tools.xml in the %appdata% folder structure on Windows EXE version Not sure if the Windows MSIX version is in same location and I don't have a clue where that file will be on Macs This is the line you need to change (I set mine to 40, which is the maximum number of Tools I could get on my screen (different screen sizes/resolutions may change that number) <DockedColumns>40</DockedColumns>

Not that I'm aware of at the moment Though Studio Presets will allow you to specify which tools are displayed on the Tools Panel. So, if you just wanted a subset of tools when using the Wacom, thus taking up less space, you could do that Unfortunately, Studio Presets do not allow you to specify the position of the Tools Panel on screen or else that might have also assisted you. Hopefully that will come in a future update/upgrade Not by using the inbuilt macros functions in APhoto but there are other 3rd party macro software packages that work on Windows and Macs that might be able to do what you want.

You can also have a Horizontal, undocked tools panel (top or bottom) for those that prefer it that way, have a lot of tools, need/prefer more horizontal workspace or don't like scrolling the vertical one (Requires a minor edit to one of the config files, the location of which may/will vary depending on if you are using MSIX, EXE or Mac/Windows)

I think Custom may have provided the ability to use a custom set/palette of colours but as you say that has a bug and has never worked. @everyone Could this somehow be done using a gradient map adjustment using sharp transitions (i.e. no gradients) between say, 4 custom colours as shown in example below? It sounds like it should work but the results look odd (in some places) even though the colours do appear to be restricted to the 4 chosen colours (Original image on the left, 4 colour image on the right)

I did not think Clip to Canvas was relevant/available in documents containing Artboards -
Export--Selection area or selection only, refers to Layer selections (Selected Layers) not Pixel selections (on the Desktop version) Not sure how you say you got it to work previously but I don't have an iPad, someone else may be able to clarify one way or another

Are you talking about a pixel selection? Somewhat confusing as you are using APhoto not Designer (AhPoto does not have Artboard, natively)
