I’m hopeful the tools you need will be part of the vector persona once that’s ready.

I agree. That’d be fantastic.

The compatible versions haven’t been released yet. (1.7) They’ll come later in the beta.

I'm just curious... how will the Designer and Photo personas work within Affinity Publisher? Do they kick your document to one of the apps for editing and then closing? Or will they work like personas in the other apps where they keep you in app and provide you a different toolset? Seeing the actual application icons makes me think you'll open the document in that app. Is that correct?

So glad to see that Affinity Designer for iPad has these gestures! Such a fantastic app. Looking forward to Affinity Photo for iPad getting them too.

As a designer and a developer I find there's an area where design apps could really learn something from code editors. There's a trend in recent code editors to use a Command Pallet (⇧⌘P) which allows you to type anything and find/invoke anything. It's great for quickly getting to hidden things. For me, Affinity apps packed with a power and you have to hide some of those options (if not most) to make the user interface, well... usable. A Command Palette could really help users to find and use different aspect of apps without having to dig around the user interface. Some example use cases: find and open any palettes show/hide studio panels run macros open a specific preference run commands that don't have keyboard shortcuts Take a look at how code editors (like VS Code, Atom, Sublime Text) are using them to get some ideas.

I really really really want a "pattern tool" for making large repeating patterns for prints as well as small patterns for web design. Pretty please.

Yeah I saw the undo and redo buttons. I find I don't use drawing apps (on the iPad) that don't have the 2-finger undo and 3-finger redo because I get frustrated I have to look else where do those simple actions. Doing so takes my focus off of the work at hand. Those gestures feel so natural, hard to do it any other way now. I'm hopeful you guys can add those gestures. Thanks!

Congrats and fantastic work on the new iPad app launch! Any chance of getting two finger tap to undo and 3 finger tap redo in the new iPad app? Pretty please? :)

When I ⌘+click on a layer in a group the group expands and shows the selected the layer in AD. That doesn't work for you?

Just to be clear, at the time I requested this feature it didn't behave that way. But the fine folks at Serif included it pretty fast!

Congrats Matt! And thanks for the new beta! :)

Thanks for doing that MEB! I'll post to the feature requests section. I'll just continue to use the beta instead of the release version. Thanks. :)

Btw, I noticed that in the "Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Miscellaneous" you can toggle a bunch of panels on/off but the newer panels like "Assets", "Constraints", and "Symbols" aren't represented there. Related, I like to keep panels on both sides and usually I just want to toggle entire groups of panels or all panels on the right or all panels on the left. Is that possible to do currently?

So, how long before 1.5.2 is released?
