Is better now, but nothing new. They still offer legacy CS templates, see https://elements.envato.com/furniture-brochure-YW3EBT

I pay yearly and it pay itself after taxes, as a creative I benefit using it as a assets library, but if you asked me about submitting templates as a Envato collaborator, I will say "No, Thank You". It is the worst platform on supporting artists. That's why it has been super slow updating items. They changed the look but nothing new came with it. Between you and I, I think they are struggling to survive because of that.

I subscribe to Envato Elements, and for the type of work I do, it’s been worth it. I use almost everything they offer—videos, audio, effects, etc.—for my graphic design projects. I love creating everything from scratch, but for quick, smaller jobs, their library is sufficient. Of course, I always end up modifying whatever I download to fit my style or needs. Thankfully, Affinity can open both Illustrator and Photoshop files! After reading your rant, I’m starting to think we should create an Envato Elements-style platform specifically for Affinity users to share templates and macros, helping to inspire and support one another. I’ve got over 40,000 Affinity files on my external drive since 2014!

I found the solution! The PopClip app does this magically! In this video you can see how easy it is! I copy the content from a document, refine the content with AI, copy the Markdown content and paste it on the new layout design document and use PopClip to convert it into RTF instantly!

I don't have Marked2app but I tried it with Craft app and it works!!!!

Thank you, Walt.

I opened the file, copied the content, and pasted it into Affinity Publisher. However, instead of seeing the actual content, I got the Markdown code. I'm not going to convert all these documents individually using a third-party app—it's much faster to place or copy and paste them directly. It's frustrating that Publisher can't handle Markdown!

I'm struggling with magazine designs for a client. Despite providing all the documentation in Markdown format, when I paste the content into Designer, it only shows the Markdown code. I initially thought Publisher would be suitable for this purpose since it handles all text needs, but unfortunately, Markdown doesn't work there either. Is there a plugin or a setting trick that would allow me to use Markdown text with Affinity apps, or am I out of luck?

No Issue! Comparing products is essential for market growth. My response was straightforward: if you need Adobe's tools, use Adobe. It's that simple. I once asked a Grammy-winning music producer why he didn't use industry-standard Pro Tools. His reply? 'SAW Plus is what got me these Grammys.' Clearly, the best tool depends on specific needs.

My point is that if a feature is essential, you should select tools that provide it.

That's where the issue lies. It's not about a missing feature. You're looking for a feature from another app within Affinity and faulting Affinity for not including it. To be straightforward and polite, if your business depends on Adobe's apps, it's best to use Adobe apps.

If you're an Affinity user, you're likely aware of the distinct offerings it provides compared to Adobe. Asking Affinity to replicate what Adobe has achieved would be akin to requesting Adidas to incorporate Nike's Air soles in their sneakers. Each app offers unique tools to meet the specific needs of artists. Adobe remains the industry standard and is the right choice if it meets your needs. However, if you're open to learning something new and maximizing its offerings, then Affinity is a compelling alternative. You can get similar results with time and patience like in this video:

Can you provide the project file? I would like to see the document.

Share your settings bro! I loved what you did! a mini tutorial would be great! Look what I did! (Need to work on the gradients, though.)

@dominik Thanks!

I'm trying to do a symbol using the move/duplicate tool, and I'm not getting the result I'm looking for. Any ideas?

The same thing happened with my wife and her kinetic watches. I purchased a pair for us, but for some mysterious reason, mine always works perfectly while hers consistently stop working and occasionally die out. We visited the Seiko store, and they couldn't identify any issues with her watch. In the end, they graciously provided her with a brand new one, but she still couldn't get it to function properly! However, when I simply took it in my hands, gave it a gentle shake, like a secret touch, it miraculously sprang back to life! It's truly puzzling, isn't it?

From 1992 to 2024, none of those factors could have caused their malfunctions. If that were the case, I would have a Guinness World Record for 32 years of purchasing brand new, damaged computers from Apple! Take my advice and never blindly trust any computer. The bottom line is that machines can fail, and it's important to be aware of that.

I have a few "amazing" things to share if you're interested in chatting about them in the future. From iCloud spontaneously deleting files to Apple apps refusing to update on their own OS version, the list is quite extensive, my friend.

Oh my! I feel like I have crossed a sensitivity barrier here. Please accept my apologies for my inappropriate, lighthearted response that was meant to be something funny and innocent. /s 🤦‍♂️

I have been using Macs since 1992, and let me tell you, 5 to 10 minutes can bring about numerous unexpected surprises. Therefore, I am not willing to take any risks at the moment. Allow me to recount a true story: the last time I attempted a safe boot, I found myself in an Apple Store, surrounded by three employees who were utterly perplexed as to why I couldn't access my Mac using my login information. It was quite the ordeal, I must say.

@PaoloT Hilarious! This went from a pasted text on a box idea to a scientific approach by the brilliant physicist Neil Degrasse Tyson in a nanosecond! LMAO

This topic is getting way off track. I provided a very simple example in my post—just a box for unformatted text. That's all I was asking for, nothing complicated like invoice creation or anything else. Just a space for text.

This is my primary work machine, so I can't perform extensive troubleshooting at the moment. I'll try to address the issue next Saturday and keep you updated. For now, the problem isn't hindering my work, so I can continue using it as is during the week.

Good for you. 👍🏼
