  1. I wonder why graphics programs went with N for Layer nomenclature rather than L Understanding that COMMAND+L locks a layer in Designer. Yet COMMAND+SHIFT+L unlocks... or why isn't it a toggle Lock/Unlock vs yet another modifier key for Unlock... This is why I am a designer and not a programmer I would go mad.
  2. Thanks for all the replies! I have submitted this as a bug for those who want to follow it. Affinity Designer 2.0.3 MACOS New Layer Shortcut Creates new Document
  3. 2019 MacBook Pro \ MacOs 13.0.1 Affinity Designer 2.0.3 Attempting to use the New Layer shortcut The listed shortcut COMMAND+OPTION+N opens a new document with previous settings instead of creating a new standard layer. I can't see that there is another shortcut in the File menu nor in the MACOS System Prefs>Keyboard... Others have reported the same behavior ONLY in MacOS. Windwos seems unaffected. Discussion topic I created earlier: Affinity Designer 2.0.3 MACOS New Layer Shortcut Issue
  4. Tried searching and did not see this subject come up. In V2 of Designer for Mac, I am attempting to use the New Layer shortcut, however the listed shortcut COMMAND+OPTION+N opens a new document instead of creating a new layer. I can't see that there is another shortcut in the File menu nor in the MACOS System Prefs>Keyboard... Anyone else resolve this WITHOUT changing the New Layer shortcut in Designer 2? 2019 MacBook Pro \ MacOs 13.0.1
  5. This is somewhat related to the pricing commentary. With this being the second full suite release, has anyone seen a definitive version release goal? Will this be a 12, 18, 24 month full version cycle? I hope it doesn't go the old Adobe route of 12-18 months and fork out more dough. It's why I moved to Affinity for my freelance work. Less frequent outlay of cash for a side hustle. It has been a wonder when this, inevitable, step would come from Affinity/Serif. Serif doesn't sell hardware or other services, having a forever-perpetual license was never going to be reality. (Apple sells hardware and services so Final Cut being truly perpetual can work) I'm not butt-hurt over the lack of special pricing for existing users (Even if we did buy multiple OS versions of each software). Existing users get lots of extra offers for Affinity brushes and the like anyway.
  6. I second and triple this. There are more Android devices than iOS in the market. IDC Q1 Mobile Phone Market Share and Device Atlas Mobile Statistics The Nexus is a fringe device. Sorry Nexus lovers. I would suggest ignoring phone brands on non iOS and say 'Android'. Blackberry can be ignored as any stand-alone they are phasing out their own OS in favor of Android. (at like 0.2% share it's no wonder why) Another link: Device Atlas Most Used Screen Size Other's opinions may differ, but I tend to start at 360x640 (sometimes 720x1280) as you have to design for the smallest screen in Material Design and Android due to the vast array of sizes and Device Independent Pixel ratios (DP). The Zoom To would, I assume, just be to those defaults? Don't quite understand that setting in templates. AND there MUST be a way to save document templates into the document template presets. NOT just the current open an existing document as a template method. So if someone does design to a certain screen size and ruler settings they should be able to add that at the same level the existing Document Templates are. IMO, at least one of these must happen.
  7. Agree with the above. And what nicola is referring to is the Replace Document option that ONLY changes the selected layer. If you select all the layers with the embedded item you lose the options Edit Document and Replace Document. Honestly, I'm not dying that I don't have external files that I have to link and relink when moving things around. Serif has stated this isn't meant to be a page layout program. But I do see instances where you might have linked this from another application that Designer or Photo struggle to interpret/edit. I'm fiddling with Symbols to see if there is a way to get the same effect as Replace Document would have—except the object isn't linked.
  8. The H610 works pretty well with Affinity Designer and Photo. Though I find the pressure sensitivity and brushes definitely take a little more tweaking out of the box. The transition from thick to thin or light to heavy is pretty abrupt in Affinity apps by default—more so than in photoshop. I've not used any Wacom product with Affinity to gauge if they are different.
  9. What many of you seem to want in markdown is what InCopy provides in the InDesign family. Or, importing .doc / .docx files and applying similarly named styles, assume one has created styles in InDesign already, and assuming the Word content doesn't turn into vomit on import. Personally, markdown for a Publishing seems like it should just be an import option versus a heavy function of the Publisher environment. Therefore functioning much like InCopy. You could either import the .markdown file or link to it. But for the sake of the vast majority graphic designers please have Character, Paragraph and Object Styles too. That way, those of us who haven't chosen to learn markdown still can apply to any text. Also, InDesign does not support markdown formatting or import. Though some scripts and plugins have been attempted I believe. As InDesign is largely an XML language I wouldn't think it would be too far-fetched to look at the ICML files from InCopy and see if the languages can handoff or convert similarly. So .markdown could be the InCopy of Publisher. All that said, Dear Serif... when a Publisher Beta already? Some soft promises were made of "early next year" at the end of 2015. I'm Publisher away from dropping my Adobe CC subscription.
