Any thoughts about this from Affinity team?

EDITED: This is just a compilation of Affinity Photo and Designer roadmaps by TonyB and MEB's "Common Feature Requests INDEX", just to be easily found. Everything that is already implemented is removed. I hope that Affinity staff would not get angry for doing this on my own. Just want to keep things clear. Designer Phase II transparency flattener Bleed area guides Mesh fill tool Mesh warp/distort tool Knife tool Calligraphic line styles Export slices previews with actual export data Pages Text features including Bullets and Numbering Knockout groups Multiple Effects/Fills/Strokes per shape Convert Pixel selection to Vector shape Replicate/Blend Tracing Tool/Persona Vector Eraser Vector Patterns Feathering Simplify paths / Line Smoothing Arrowheads Photo Looks persona Levels improvements Curve Improvements Export persona - preview with compression and palette optimisation Non destructive Develop Layer Tool Presets User categories in the media browser for shapes and objects Support for image layer Spot channels Crop to Selection Crop & Resize (single step) Freehand Selection Tool more similar to PS Lasso Both User Interface Icons / Customization Progress bar/visual feedback on file loading/saving Remember last used folder used for each type of action (open, save etc). Sticky Settings (remember tools settings) - It's being implemented / work in progress in 1.5 / 1.6 versions Support to RTL (right-to-left) Languages (Arabic, Hebrew etc) Change rulers origin point / relative origin point Allow guide creation from all tools Lock Guides Image/file linking Select objects by attributes (same fill, stroke, font etc) Ability to export/save to the same folder as the source (opened file) Rotate & Scale objects using the Rotation Centre as reference point - Already available in Designer 1.6 Beta Background Blur Layer Effect (FX) Noise/Grain Export PSD text as native text DXF/DWG

Hi, when opening a PDF document a dialog window appears which offers to: load all pages, or to choose only one page, among other options. It would be nice if it offers to open/import a page range like in Print dialog window (1-3, 7, 35-64). But, this option could be separated in two parts -- Relative and Absolute. Lets say we have 10 pages PDF document and we want to load only this range: 2-4, 6, 8-9. If we choose Relative, than these pages will be imported one after another and we have 6 pages in AD: 1 through 6. If we choose Absolute, then we have 10 pages opened in AD where the pages in the range keep their positions and pages not included in page range (1, 5, 7 and 10) are entered as blank pages.

I avoid bitmap apps as much as I can. Only if there is something that it can't be done in vector or layout app. And if their is no special need for vector effects or so, I prefer to choose a layout app. Which one it will be (Quark or ID) it depends on what should be done. I prefer Quark because I can do a lot of easy bitmap manipulations vs ID which can't vectorize its own PDF files and can't even manipulate with PSD layers.

You are wrong about this Buck. I've made hundreds of trifold brochures and other advertising materials and I asure you that it is breeze to do it in InDesign or Quark. About the second part: They got angry because I am convinced that having one app is much better the 3 separated... but they said (and a lot of users) it was out of question. So, I don't want to push this any more. Let's see what the future will bring to us. Maybe it would be better to make a poll on their FB page to see what users wants more -- swiss knife or separated apps.

Most users want all tools in one app because they don't like to swap apps. They want to work quick and efficient. They don't want to ask themselves: "Oh, were was this tool -- in Photo, Publisher or ...". You can say this if you read the comments, feature requests. All of them want some specific feature to be in the app they are used to work with, because it was there in the app from a different vendor they owned. Adobe goes this way. They started long time ago to include features from AI <-> PS <-> ID. I will stop here because I already repeat myself and don't want to make the Affinity team angry because of my way of thinking.
