    ...or Command+J, as usually in the Draw Persona.
     
     
    Wow, I completely overlooked the "Export preset" part. Didn't know why, but I thought it was some image format configuration :wacko: This helps a lot!
     
    Thank you all for the comments!

    Hi Lojza,
     
    that's true. But if you want to duplicate the export settings of a slice you have at least the possibility to copy the settings from one slice to another. Unfortunately therefore are no customizable short cuts provided.
     
     
    Best, Stefan.

    Sorry, if I'm missing something, but is there a way, how to duplicate an existing slice in the Export Persona?
     
    There's so many things that may be defined within a slice, so duplication would really speed things up...
     
    Thanks for info :)

    Also some kind of "find in slices" / "find in layers" functionality would help on this.

    Of course I'm using groups. As you can see in the attached file. I have over 600 of them. And I have lost few hours, while working on this periodic table, only for scrolling the groups list and clicking them to open/close. :D
     
    I'm not talking about the feature for most users. If they don't want to, they don't have to tag layers. But when someone is working on some big, complicated project with lots of layers, he can save a lot of time and finger joints by tagging his layers and searching them. ;)
     
    And there is a lot of such projects. Take the web design for example. Sometimes you have to design 20 pages (each one with hundreds of layers) just for one screen size. Multiple that by 3 for other devices and you end up with document consisting of two thousands layers at least. Lots of this layers are similar, and when you have to make a change, with the option to search the layers and change them all at once you can save few hours of your life. :)
    As we all know, Affinity seeks to serve UI designers. This option may be their salvation. :)
     
    Oh, and as we speak about UI designers. We have spot colours now. I would love to have "spot" fonts, border thickness and all the things that don't go under 'styles'. :)
     
    And copying and pasting slices in export persona. This one is a must do. Imagine if I want to save each element in the periodic table as a slice. I have to draw every f*ing rectangle by hand. Instead of drawing just the first one and then pressing ctrl+j (or pressing alt and draging) and just changing the position. 118 identical rectangles. Who have enough life for this? :D
     
    I think Affinity needs to get some programmers to design some functionalities. Programmers think differently than designers, and when it comes to designing user interfaces and technical stuff, contributions of programmers can be very helpful. ;)

    Lojza reacted to Schubi63 in auto-update slice position if document size changes   
    Hi al,
     
    it just happened that I had to changed my document size by adding pixels to the LEFT side of the canvas. What I realized later, was that all slices went to the "wrong position" caused by the canvas modification.
     
    At least a warning / hint / dialog would have been nice at the point of altering the document size.
     
    A file dialog that in case of having slices (which are constrained to canvas size) that offers to:
    1) just ignore slice positions and
    2) calculate the new positions + alter them automatically
     
    would be very nice here ;)
     
     
     
    Thanks for thinking about it,
    Stefan.

    It would be great to reorganize (eg reorder) slices. As a UI designer, I have more than 50 sites in some files. I would appreciate to reorder them
    A bonus would be to  group them in folders
     
    If it is not possible to reorganize, then sorting them alphabetically could help.

    Lojza reacted to MattP in Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.5 - Beta 15)   
    Status: Beta Release
    Purpose: New features, fixes
    Requirements: Purchased Affinity Designer
    Mac App Store: Not Submitted
    Download: 1.5 Beta 15 Here
     
    This is a beta of a substantial change to our codebase and as much as we have tried to ensure the quality of the code, it should be considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity that you may be adversely affected by the application failing. In addition it is definitely worth noting that files created in Affinity 1.5 cannot be opened in 1.4 so always make a copy of your important documents before opening them in 1.5 to ensure you do not accidentally overwrite them and are unable to open them in your 1.4 version.
     
    To use this beta, simply download the file from the link given above and double-click on the file to open the installer. Follow the instructions to install the beta version. The beta sits alongside the Mac App Store version and will not interfere with it.
     
    Fixes/Improvements:
    Improved PSD import (gradient maps) Added option (in Preferences) to always show the selected item in the Layers panel when selection changes Pasting a selection which includes Symbols into a different document should now make sure Symbols are created in the other document. Pasting a selection containing many instances of the same symbol into a different document also ensures they are connected to each other. Detaching a Symbol leaves the object in a state where it can be made into another Symbol now Document snapshots should work properly with Text Styles that were available at that time in history Export Persona's 'Export Selected' now says 'Export N Slices' (where N is the number of slices selected to export - hopefully a little more clear now) Improved slider performance for some Adjustments (particularly when using a Wacom or similar) Crash fix for Character panel Performance greatly increased for multi-artboard documents when creating/adjusting objects/properties Fix for terrible rendering issue I accidentally introduced that caused some objects to export incorrectly Fix for Navigator's viewpoints being disabled accidentally PDF export improved (outputting Symbol fonts with certain characters) Snapping should work for Guides now Fix for Line width on Context Toolbar not updating past a certain size (oops) Hopefully improved file read/write stability across network shares Miscellaneous other small fixes

    Hi, Lojza
     
    Look at the in-house tutorials in this section. There is a good one for text, and one that might help you w. blend modes. I did come across a tutorial somewhere that mentioned Source Layer ranges, and such, but haven't been able to find it in my bookmarks. I haven't needed to use that panel. Everything I've needed to do is touched on in the blend tutorial.
     
    I don't have AP, so can't offer anything about Healing Brush, etc. Other programs I use are quite different when "healing." Some replace the "healing" area with nearby samples, others apply an automatic noise reduction.

    Hi lexislav,
    Here When you move a layer so it crosses the boundaries of the canvas, it becomes clipped no matter the tool you are using (in Photo)... I meant clipped visually not cropped.
    Thanks for the videos. I see what you mean now. However this doesn't happen in the latest Affinity Photo Beta (where i was testing). Placed images are now added as Pixel layers and as such are not rasterised anymore when you try to delete them with the Erase Tool or any other process.
     
    Lojza,
    The Perspective (and others filters) also don't crop the image anymore in the latest Beta (1.5 Beta 4).

    When I move a layer so it crosses the boundaries of the canvas, it is not beeing instantly clipped luckily. If it would I won't use Photo for more than one minute :-)
    I am sending „screencast“ when I use stamp and erase brush on layers moved partially behind canvas boundaries and it works just fine, as expected: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0lvw17fd9e93ieh/affinitybug-clipping-test1?dl=0
    On this second screencast You can see, how the layer is clipped (not good behaviour):  https://www.dropbox.com/s/yizxs8w4q0zz0ds/affinitybug-clipping-test2.mov?dl=0
     
    But I have already spotted the core of the issue: I was working with placed image and when Erase brush was used,  the layer was rasterized. And areas currently out of canvas has been clipped away. So the bug I am experienced is not related to Erase Brush Tool and is already reported in few topics:

    Yeah, Wacom tablet still seems to suffer from some pains here and there (I'm using Wacom Pen & Touch).
     
    I guess dragging with tablet pen in general is not properly reflected in Affinity. Not only the sliders, but also changing object's size isn't "live" - the object is not resized until drag is over, snapping does not work while dragging. The whole tablet usability is screwed by this...

    We have the same 1.5? Cause on mine it isn't workin. The problem is known since 9 month! Must be rocket science to solve it, or devs just ignore it.

    Using Photo beta4 with Wacom Intuos4

    As the current 1.4 MAS version doesn’t show live adjustments as they’er being made when using a Wacom tablet I thought to give the latest beta4 a try to see how well it dose.
    Sadly there’s still a ways to go yet I fear.

    Here are the Live Layer Adjustments and Live Filters I’ve found so far who’s sliders still won’t update live with the Wacom. (Plus three that will also crash the app and one that makes the photo vanish!)

    Live Adjustment Layers control sliders still not working correctly with Wacom tablet:
    Levels Adjustment
    Curves Adjustment
    Recolour Adjustment & Split Toning (Partially broke? No live screen update as the Hue sliders are moved but their Saturation sliders do update live)

    All Live Filter Layers control sliders still not working correctly with tablet:
    In addition I’ve found the following serious problems;
    Median Blur, Bilateral Blur & Dust & Scratch Removal, all three will trigger an instant app crash every time I try and choose them. (Same thing happens using mouse or trackpad, so not Wacom specific)

    Perspective Grid. Photo just vanishes leaving only the chequer background visible, just like it were a blank canvas. Turning off or removing the filter returns the photo.

    Lojza reacted to Hokusai in PDF export unexpectedly rasterized   
    Lojza,
     
    I'm glad that you pointed this out. I ran into a similar issue a few weeks ago. I accidentally hit the "command + M" shortcut and the Curves dialog came up. I never used it, I simply closed it without making any adjustments or anything. Little did I know that it caused the elements that were selected when I brought up the Curves dialog to be rastered when I exported it to PDF. As well, I was in the Draw Persona only. I'd like to see this behaviour changed if possible because it could cause some serious headaches. I talked about it here as well, https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/22148-command-m-is-curves/

    Minor issue: when closing unsaved file, AD (and AP as well) asks if I want to save the changes. If I confirm "Save", the file won't get closed after that (another File -> Close is needed). I belive the file should get closed after successful save.

    Lojza reacted to MattP in Stroke in a polygon with artistic text   
    We've actually been chatting in the office about this earlier - in the future we may allow for text items to have children which they can elect to flow within (act as frames) or around (act like path text) and as these would be visible in the Layers panel, you could select them and just manipulate them just like any other objects... That way would be the most hierarchical, extensible model we can think of... But we'll keep thinking :)
