[Text stroke problem for text placed in a frame from a master page.]

Hi, and thank you for your programs!

I think it should be possible to stroke text in a regular page when the text had been added to a text frame defined on a master page. Right now it does not work. I run Publisher on a Windows 10 machine with 16 GB of memory.

There is still no support for overprint fills and strokes for ink trapping

There is support for global colors to overprint in Designer when outputting to a CMYK pdf with Pdf X compatibility. Global colors can be assigned to strokes. Black in automatically an overprint color.

[No document-wide replace font?]

I want to add my hope for better font management in AffPublisher. The problem is that the "Font Manager" shows the extent of font problems but does nothing to manage the fonts in the "substitution" and "subsitution style" columns. For a program like Publisher, changing fonts after opening publication and pdf files that someone else created is critical.

[Styles for pen settings]

Same here in Windows 10, Designer, 1.8. After two line styles are created, I do not find a way to create additional line styles based on line objects without any fill, but varied in width, color and dashes. On the other hand, there does not seem to be an immediate limitation on the number of styles based on objects with fill.

Thank you so much for so many improvements in 1.8 in all the programs!

Wonderful!

[Spiral tool in Affinity Designer]

Me too! Thanks.

In addition to astounding command over AD, and drawing technique, you have also ably expressed the distance she places between herself and anyone who would draw near.

[Pica measurement feature]

Love the program. Glad to have it on Windows!

I think in Postscript picas, and I believe that a substantial designer minority, especially in the Americas also do. Having picas and points would make your programs more intuitive for me. Thank you for listening.

[Feature Request, Designer]

Using Windows Beta which I really like, I do not see the capability of blending between two vector objects. That is a very useful ability for a vector program.

 

I will repeat what I mentioned once before: measurements by PostScript picas of 12 points would be very helpful for those of us who think in that measurement, and I hope you can eventually deliver the entire keyboard for shortcuts including combinations with F keys, numbers, Backspace, Insert, Delete, Home, End, Page Up and Down.

[Perspective/distort]

I had to take an Affinity Designer (Win) pdf to AdI in order to warp some text into perspective. The process worked well and the outcome was fine. Looking forward to getting this feature in AffD.

[Color Correction / Prepress missing tools]

It would be hard to overemphasize the weight that Davide B. has among those who edit photos as a profession. I am more than pleased with the Windows Affinity Designer and look forward to using the rest of your programs as they make their way to Windows.

[Designer custom shortcuts, Pica measure]

What a wonderful program the Designer beta for Windows is! I have not had such comfortable experience with the pen tool since FH gave up the ghost. I have two requests:

1. Please open the entire Windows keyboard to customization. Combinations like alt-backspace, alt-sh-backpsace, sh-Delete, ctrl-sh-Insert would make this program much closer to my normal way of doing things.

 

2. I hope you incorporate PostScript Pica measurements in Designer. Some of us print centric North Americans think in picas rather than inches, points or metric.

 

I am looking forward to all that you have for Windows. Designer as a delight. Thank you.
