SCRIPT
Old Bruce replied to Anand Athmanathan's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
There is no scripting available as of the current version. There may be JavaScript capability added to some future update. Do not count on it happening soon. -
This confuses me. Could just be the way we work. With my work I never have Placeholder text or Placeholder images on a Master Page. Just empty Text and Image Frames and stuff that I want to occur on every page that I apply the Master to. I name everything on my Master Pages, the names helps with reapplication.

Seems to be related to using the Balanced Dash pattern with an open curve and/or ridiculously large gap sizes.

Sticky Notes panel causes confusion
Old Bruce replied to MikeTO's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
I have to agree with these ideas. I just don't know how the application will determine which type of notes should be the default in a situation where there are two or three types used. Would it be last (most recently) used or most frequently used (20 footnotes, 5 endnotes, and 2 side-notes)? -
little blue border... how to hide?
Old Bruce replied to Paolo192's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
On way would be to inadvertently use the Boolean Add command on a Picture Frame which would turn it into a Rectangle. -
If I want an 8 x 10 inch PDF with trim marks I would use Designer and make an 8 x 10 inch document with the usual bog standard 1/8th inch bleed. Then I would make a Photo document at 8 1/4 x 10 1/4 inches (or even 9 x 12 inches) and once finished in photo I would place that Photo document in the Designer Document and export to PDF with including Bleed and Crop marks.

Problem scanning in color
Old Bruce replied to MayL's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I am seeing the same thing with my ancient Canon Scanner Printer. Colour doesn't seem to work, B&W does work. I think your best bet is to follow v_kyr's advice and just scan to a TIFF at 300dpi then import that image. Most likely a problem with the combination of Canon's drivers and the Apple OS and Affinity. -
Copy stamp follows the mouse
Old Bruce replied to Nikolaus2001at's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
I think this is the thing you are looking for. Aligned versus Not Aligned. Unchecked is not aligned. The Context toolbar must be showing. -
Mask edge feathered - how?
Old Bruce replied to marble51's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Based on your second post I am going to assume you are using Photo. Draw your shape with whatever vector tool you want. Go to Select > Selection from layer and then go to Select > Feather and feather the selection, make a mask from the selection. -
This seems to be fixed in the latest beta 2.2.0.1903

In my experience the minus two stops would be applied smoothly from 0% through to 100% over the length of the line. So the darkness goes from 100% from the top all the way down to the top-middle third and then fades to the bottom-middle third to 0% and remains at 0% down to the bottom. It may be that the effect you are wanting means you need to move the upper node/handle to the top of the image.

Import ¶ styles when placing text
Old Bruce replied to Rob SF's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
If you used Paragraph Styles for the book then all you would need to do is change the Font Family in the Paragraph Style's Edit Text Styles Window. The Italic and Bold local formatting should remain Italic and Bold. Best practice would be to have made Character Styles that would be applied to those bits of text. Best Practice would be to have pretty much every piece of text in the book having a Paragraph Style (and Character Style if needed) applied.
