Similar how to you can currently disable a layer mask by "Shift + click" or "right click" -> "hide" So "Shift + click" on "fx" toggles the layer style on/off.

How it's currently "working": Have multiple tabs open -> view tab A -> view tab B -> close tab B => you are now viewing tab X How it could (should) work: Have multiple tabs open -> view tab A -> view tab B -> close tab B => you are now viewing tab A again

Not sure if this is beta only but: Open/create file -> make some edits -> "forget" to save -> cmd + w -> ask if you want to save the changes -> "yes" -> file is saved but window is still open. If it's intentional then I'd highly suggest you change it - all other programs I've tried does "save + close window" when you click "yes".

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3019777/gidolesquare.afdesign it's also ridiculously huge EDIT: And the colors are all sorts of wrong when I try to open it in the normal version. So currently I have to save as psd, open in photoshop, export png to get usable files. Affinity is really testing my patience as of late - glad to see #25 and hope you get things sorted soon so we can have a more stable and reliable product.

Minor Slice Export Upgrades
Andreas Larsen replied to tooolbox's topic in Older Feedback & Suggestion Posts
The graphics solution proposed seams like an unnecessary workaround to just using embeddable graphics with duplicates. Only problem is embeddable graphics only works with raster witch limits it's usability so this would have to be fixed. Another feature I'd love is the ability to export to folders. The way Xcode and other platforms handles localised images is the create e.g. en.lproj image.png da.lproj image.png So the folder names are different but the images have the same file names. Currently you have to export e.g. image-en.png image-da.png add to folders and batch rename -
Introduce new point type
Andreas Larsen replied to Andreas Larsen's topic in Older Feedback & Suggestion Posts
They way FontForge does it is by converting them to "normal" points when you rotate unless rotation is +=90(n) An alternate solution could be to make horizontal/vertical fixed standard and then only allow other angles with modifier pressed. The shift solution works great for "new" points but if you already have a point with handles then getting them "perfect" requires you to delete the handles first. -
Similar to curve point handles can only extend horizontally or vertically. When drawing logos, icons, UI, type etc the wast majority of curve points are like this and having the point type makes drawing a lot faster + more precise. Screenshot is from FontForge (notice the difference between round and diamond shaped dots)

@MEB I'm not saying I expected there was a quick and easy fix - just that it's an essential function of the app that in it's current state is useless in some cases requiring daily use of another app for just that function. On an unrelated note: There seems to be issues with embedded documents not updating. Only the one you double clicked to edit gets updated automatically. I have to turn visibility off/on for the others to update/refresh

I don't know if it's just the beta but "File" -> "Open Recent" get's reset with every update. Slice tool Slice tool only works with pixel even for print documents in mm making it impossible to use for printing works where accuracy is needed. Slice tool should be (at least that's how most other programs do it) be restrained so you can't go "off canvas". Snapping should work for the slice tool too (you shouldn't have to zoom in the be able to hit the upper left corner of a canvas. Expand stroke (please fix it - it's a basic function that should just work) Expand stroke still produces way, way to many points - a simple circle (should be 4 points) generates 20+ points. Expand stroke together with "scale with object" doesn't work (looks like it get's the original thickness of the stroke).

Expand Stroke bug?
Andreas Larsen replied to 00Ghz's topic in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on macOS threads
If you have scale with object on stroke expands wrong thickness -
Expand Stroke bug?
Andreas Larsen replied to 00Ghz's topic in [ARCHIVE] Designer beta on macOS threads
Any updates on the expand stroke issues? Still many bugs and even when it gets it right it still uses way too many points rendering the function useless. Expand stroke is a basic function that should just work. -
Update the path action icons
Andreas Larsen replied to Andreas Larsen's topic in Older Feedback & Suggestion Posts
Better - although that glue icon is a bit unconventional it makes sense. The icons should also grey out when you can't use them - e.g. when I've selected just one curve (path) I can still click join curves which obviously does nothing. Names are wrong though. Should be Break node (or break path) Close path Smooth path Join paths Reverse path and they would probably make more sense if reordered like this Break path Close path Smooth path Reverse path Join paths -
The icons for break, close and join curves look very similar and you can't really tell from the icons what they do.

Font size input capture arrow buttons
Andreas Larsen replied to AshTeriyaki's topic in Older Feedback & Suggestion Posts
+1 times a million, all numeric input fields should "capture" the keyboard up/down and shift+up/down -
[ADe] Keyboard shortcuts wishlist
Andreas Larsen replied to boudewijndanser's topic in Older Feedback & Suggestion Posts
Just bumping this because I'd also really like keyboard shortcut for switching personas EDIT: I created them myself in apple system prefs but would be nice if they were in affinity designer by default :)
