I didn't know this one. Interesting find Thanks for the tip. d.

Hi @Arnaud Mez, there are of course font managers for the Mac. I'm just not familiar with them since I am on Windows only (apart from the iPad). Cheers, d.

Hi @Arnaud Mez, I think one can never have too many fonts This is why I decided to use a font manager that allows me to keep a basic set of about 650 fonts always active and have access to more than 10000 fonts in the library. This doesn't slow down the computer or the start of software. I also find it more convenient to browse and search for fonts in the font manager software, which is much more sophisticated in displaying font lists than any of the graphic programs. I personally use Main Type but there is also a free font manager called Nexus Font. Cheers, d.

I see the smiley. With that in mind, AD will never be just point and click. There always will be a learning curve. d.

I can confirm this. Happens with AD as well. d.

Sometimes it helps to restart the computer and try again. But I did not have a problem to install with this beta version. You also could download a second time in case something went wrong. d.

Hello @davorin, may I guide you to an answer I posted a while ago to a similar request in this thread over there. It explains a way of working while this feature is currently not available. But it gives you basically the same functionality. I hope you find it usefull d.

Actually I find Library not a bad word at all It's just that DAM has become the more general term for this kind of application. Especially as it is per definition not limited to photos. But so is a Library, too d.

OK, I understand. Personally, I don't mind the extra step. But I see that you seem to have a different work_flow. After all, we are in the 'Suggestions' section d.

What is this different from 'Save as ...' and use a new file name? Except that the file that was duplicated is not open anymore, but is in the list of 'recent opened'. Oh, I just noticed that @Wosven suggested the same d.

Hello @TGDesign and welcome to the forum. You may be surprised because something like this is already in development. But, please, don't hold your breath because it is completely unclear when this program will be available. You can read a long thread discussion over there. Or you can search the forum for the keyword 'Digital Asset Management' or 'DAM' d.

Thanks, I understand. This is indeed a minor issue that does not need a fix. d.

Thank you for pointing this out. I tried this out. Only rasterize turns the layer (image or pixel) into actual pixel size. Now I am a little confused what the advantage of a placed imaged would be d.

Thankyou for another new beta. And this in the week of the AD for iPad release. You are busy The first popup screen of the installer does not show the complete version number, see below. AD has the same problem. d.

This is a fair question. I assume this function will come at some point in the future. I wonder if it is possible to create a macro that does that? (I'm not good at macros, so far). d.

Hello @Manofjesus, the difference between an image layer and a raster layer is that you can resize the image layer as often as you want. From big to small to big again and it will keep its original quality. Only when you rasterize it you have access to the actual pixels. A good way to have both is to duplicate an image layer, then rasterize and copy the part that you have selected. After you pasted this selection, you can either delete the rasterized layer or turn its visibility of. This sounds a little more complicated but it has in general big advantages over having images always placed as raster layers. The help file explains this if you search for 'Place images'. Cheers, d.

Hello @Soul71, welcome to the forum. I noticed this, too, and asked about this. Currently it is not possible by design. You can double tap on the Navigator and it zooms to fit the whole document. What helps to some extent is to pan with two fingers. But, of course, this does not work well if you want to jump to the opposite part of the image d.

Hello @Sammy Be, welcome to the forum. There is an option in preferences under User Interface. It's the last option 'Show Undo and Redo Symbols' (or something like this. I'm on a non English iPad). d.

Good point, it is not very visual in the forum. In this regard it may seem a little 'old school' (which I don't mind because I myself am old school ) I want to point you to https://affinityspotlight.com/, in case you don't know the site. At the moment it is more of a magazine like site. But it could have the potential to be expanded in something you have in mind. d.

Hello @Willow Island, in case noone has welcomed you here at the forum: welcome to the forum This is a feature discussed and requested several times. There is a long ongoing thread over there where you can participate: Click on the heading and you are heading right there Cheers, d.

I suggest both of you to search the forum with the keyword 'DAM' (= Digital Asset Manager). Serif have stated several times that they are working on a program like this. It is completely open when we will see this (my guess is perhaps some - long - time after the release of Affinity Publisher). d.

Doh! I assume you have a lot more of processing power, then. Then there must be some different reason for this. Let's see if there is an optimization with one of the next releases. d.

May I ask to what you are referring to or what you are using? I, myself, do work in the 'sound department' and always like to explore fields of algorythmic music and sound. d.

Hi @RocketBoots, this is exactly what I am experiencing. It may be related to the model of iPad you have. The newer (and more powerfull) one's seem to perform better. Mine is an little older iPad pro 9.7". It would be interesting to hear with what you are working. d.

I would like to see this on PC, too d.
