  1. Hi @reglico (My previous reply was posted accidentally, and I can't seem to delete it) I am aware of what you mention, but have you tried what I described? This does not work on vector brushes and it breaks documents upon resizing. It also breaks other effects. This is a very real bug (an indirect result of certain limitations?) - rather a collection of bugs - and I'd like to see them investigated and addressed.
  2. Hello, I've run into some limitations in Affinity Designer. Affinity Designer (I haven't tested AP) doesn't seem to resize elements (and documents) at the rasterization stage (i.e. when rendering it to the screen), but it actually changes the properties of the elements in order to resize them. Example: I use a vector brush stroke with maximum stroke width (100 pt) in order to paint on a certain design I'm working on. I decide to resize the canvas to double the initial resolution (with rescaling). However this particular shape doesn't get resized (or rather, it becomes bugged) because AD attempts to change the stroke width attribute of the element to something higher than 100 pt and it fails (it no longer renders properly). DPI changes don't seem to help this issue either. The same thing happens when resizing certain elements, such as Artistic Text. The resizing operation doesn't resize the actual shape that is the result of the Artistic Text element, but rather changes the text sizes within the Artistic Text element in proportion to the resizing operation (dragging from handles). While I know this is done to create the best possible quality when rendering the text, it also hits certain hard limits. And this also happens when working with layer effects such as outer glow width, etc. Resizing the document changes those parameters but they have certain limits (and they may use different units, pt vs px, etc.) (Bonus bug: undoing the document resize operation does not revert those values, and they become permanent and have to be fixed manually - I can submit a separate bug report on this soon) My suggestion would be to apply a scaling factor in a separate pass (along with rotation, etc.) where it doesn't change properties of the element. This way it would also be possible to reset the scale just like how rotation or skew can be reset. In addition to this, it'd also be great to remove limitations such as the 100 pt in stroke width or the maximum font rendering size, in a way that the document resize operations no longer hit hard limits with those properties where they have to be modified on the document-level.
  3. Hello, I'm trying to do something very simple: I'd like to precisely crop an image, and hence I use custom ratio and position my crop gizmo over the image. I then switch to zoom (Z) and zoom in, pan, etc. I select the crop tool again (C, or by toggling Z again) to position precisely, but I realize all of my positioning and the custom ratio settings are now gone, and the tool is back to its default settings. They never persist. Is this intentional? I can't see how that can be useful. Of course, I can use the trackpad on my MacBook to zoom without ever switching from the Crop tool, but that's not optimal. One misstep and I lose all the settings again. This is unfortunately not the only place where settings don't persist in Affinity. Everything should always persist, because users need to go back and forth to do certain operations. If there's a way to do this, please let me know. Thanks.
