    Hi @Musaed, I think it is not about what Serif can do but more about what Serif can do first. Please believe me, I've read throuth the forum over a long time, if they could implement every important feature right away they would do it. But it just isn't possible. Serif has stated several times that R-to-L support is coming at some time but is completely open when this will be (and my guess is it will take longer than shorter). I feel with you that this must be dissapointing and I understand that there is no easy work around (I like to find work arounds). From my small (to non existant) understanding of programming I assume R-to-L support must be a major effort to implement. If not it would be available already. All the best d.

    Hi @fritz franz vogel, as mentioned before I was able to copy and paste almost 400 pages of text from a LibreOffice document with formatting and paragraph styles (for a start in APub). The original document included foot and endnotes but for obvious reasons they were not included because APub does not support these at the moment. I'm not saying this is the perfect solution but for now it is a good start d.

    I am not quite sure but I think there is not so much difference between having ‚multiple masters‘ and ‚having multiple exceptions from master‘. But perhaps I haven‘t thought this through completely d.

    I am able to import a document via copy and paste from Libre Office that transferred the paragraph styles and I could reuse and enhance them in APub. d.

    You can use multiple Master Pages (per Page) and put elements that occasionally need to be ‚turned‘ off on separate Master Pages. This worked for me so far. d.

    This, of course, is correct. I didn't think of that even I noticed you are on a Mac system. I wonder if it would work with a non Apple mouse, though? d.

    Hi @Richard Liu, you can use ALT+Left Mouse Button plus Right Click to increase and decrease the size of the brush size (and hardness as well). In the beginning it took me a while to get used to it but I find it more convenient than to use the keyboard. I know to each his own, but just in case you didn't know that d.

    I agree, this would be a good solution in the long run. It is possible to create, save and reuse any kind of custom template already. Simply create a new document with all the preferred settings. Save it in a special folder maybe called 'My Templates' with a name that suites your needs. To start a new project from these templates, open it from the 'My Templates' folder, save it with a new name (to a new project folder) and you are ready to go. The only difference (or call it drawback) is that it is not part of the dropdown list in the 'New Document' dialog box. Instead you have to start with the 'File > Open' command d.

    Hello @ivanthomson, you posted in the Affinity Designer section. Do you really request a Polygon Marquee Tool as a vector tool? If not, you can switch to AD's Pixel Persona. There is a Lasso Tool that has three options (on the toolbar a the top): 'Freehand', 'Polygonal' and 'Magnetic'. Is that what you are looking for? d.

    Hi @rosenthaller and wellcome to the forum, you can also join a long thread on this topic and give it your vote. See here. Cheers d.

    While there is no eraser tool at the moment you still can clip away part of your drawing. That way you stay in the vector domain. d.

    Hi @Warm, I just checked and I can confirm that you can do the same on the iPad (use the donut tool and the method I described further above). d.

    Snap to rotation center works as long as the rotation center is located at an objects center point. If the rotation center was moved to some place else it is not included into snapping. Or do I miss something? d.

    Hi @tomaspetrus, welcome to the forum. There is something in development that is considered a Digital Asset Management (= DAM). It is completely unclear when this will be available. You can read through a longer thread here. It includes a post by one of the Affinity developers who clearly confirms that something like this is in the making Cheers, d.

    Hello Christoph, welcome to the forum. One way to do this would be to use snapshots of your variations. You'd have to use the mouse to switch between them but they switch instantly and for me this works well in a situation as you describe. d.

    Here are two very basic Illustrator files you can try yourself. For comparison I include a screenshot of what the file looks like in Illustrator itself: d. You'll see, objects outside the artboards are not part of the import. d. AI-artboards-for-import-into-AD.pdf AI-artboards-for-import-into-AD.ai

    Never hesitate to ask. You touch with one finger and draw the line. The segment becomes visible after you release the Pen. One finger is the equivalent to SHIFT key. d.

    Would it be possible to create a document in the desktop version that includes all colour you want to have in your palette? Then do in the Swatches Panel 'Create Palette from Document > As Document Palette'. Then open this document on the iPad. It should bring its palette with it. I haven't tried this but it could be some workaround with not too big palettes d.
  19. dominik
    Definitely yes. I just tried it on my iPad and it works just like on the desktop. d.

    Hello @Ulysses what you can do is the following: With the Pen Tool draw a horizontal line by holding down the SHIFT key. Duplicate the line by hitting CTRL+J Switch to the Move Tool (V) and make sure 'Show Rotation Centre' is active. You'll see a little cross hair in the middle of the line. Move the Rotation Centre to the left end of the line. It should snap to the end node (otherwise turn snapping on). Now you can type in a rotation angle of your choice in the Transform Panel. You now have some sort of guides to draw your triangle. Switch to the Pen Tool and start drawing a triangle along the lines you just created. Snapping will help you to exactly hit the corner points and the angle is exactly what you initially typed in when rotating. If you want to apply this to a second angle you have to be creative along the above example. This all is not automatic but should give you a triangle according to your need Cheers, d.

    Hello @Norway4T, with all respect, I completely disagree. The output of the company is impressive, with public beta versions every couple of months and with two iPad versions of the major applications within less than two years (I think) after the Windows desktop version of Affinity Designer was released. The company is very clear about the fact that they are setting priorities according to their own standards. If the blend function hasn't been published yet this only means this particular function was not prioritised enough to make it into a release. But it does not mean that the company is slow. Best regards, d.

    Hi @xresch, have you looked at the Export Persona? I think it does exactly what you are asking for. The only 'drawback' could be that you can batch save to only one path but there you can save to different subfolders. See this tutorial video for more details: d.

    Hello @voolpes, welcome to the forum. d.

    I still use Bridge because I find it offers a good balance between all the features I need to go through my collection and not too much sophisticated features that other DAM's are offering and that I (currently) don't need. Yes, but the only thing that it is lacking is a configurable 'Open with...' command that let's me include Affinity. Or do I miss something? d.

    According to my use of the renaming function in my file manager (outside of Affinity) I need this all the time. I can think of many situations this would come in handy in AD, too. Still, I think this is a rather exotic feature in comparison to many other 'much needed' features that are already on the roadmap. So, I do support this feature request but I do have not high expectations to see this in the near future. d.
