  1. Isn't that at least in part dependent on how much data has to be swapped to disk & what has to be in RAM to do something with the document?
  2. Yeah, I was going to mention that too but you beat me to it. Kinda weird that APu gets the tooltip but Apu does not.... What the heck? Now, APu is not underlines in my reply but is in what I quoted & recolored from you above.
  3. The only reason I mentioned it was because I have never seen a commercial for Canva on any other streaming service besides in Prime Video, nor on any broadcast or cable TV networks. So I am a bit curious about if this is the start of trying to reach a broader viewing audience or what. The comment about Affinity was just in case anybody wanted to know if it was mentioned.
  4. I am running Catalina so it may be different with other OS versions but I do get a message telling me that the file has been imported at a lower resolution & to use the full resolution version I should export the file to disk. The message goes away after a few seconds so it is easy to miss, but if I click on it while it is visible I am taken back to an Export dialog in Apple Photos.app so I can either cancel or export it & from there. I think it would be better if the message did not automatically disappear & had OK & Export from Photos buttons instead.
  5. Apu also works for Affinity Publisher (not to be confused with the Simpson's character).
  6. Make of this what you will: In the US & in several other countries Amazon Prime Video has added a limited number of commercials before & during TV shows & movies. Occasionally, there have been ones for Canva but from what I can tell there is no mention of Affinity, just the Canva web site.
  7. I don't think much if anything has changed, version to version. It's still hit or miss as far as adding excessive nodes.
  8. Isn't the point, such as it is, to provide a small amount of comic relief in what is otherwise a topic that some have serious misgivings about?
  9. You are living in a dream world if you think they will pay you for anything that you cannot establish legal ownership of. Again, please consult a lawyer if you do not understand why it is absurd of you to think they would do this.
  10. Serif never paid endusers for any of the zillions of ideas they have submitted for improvements to any of the Affinity products, including ones they implemented. What makes you think it would be any different now that Canva owns them? It's a for-profit business, not a charity.
  11. So then why exactly do you expect any company to pay you anything for something you have absolutely no ownership rights for? Do you have no business sense at all?
  12. Because your idea of being paid for nothing more than a new product or tool suggestion is still just as absurd & laughable as it as been from the beginning.
  13. Anybody can make a suggestion for a product but only someone living in a fantasy world would expect any company to pay them anything for that. If you do not understand why the idea is absurd, please contact a lawyer who specializes in intellectual property (IP) rights & ask for an explanation of what does & does not constitute IP.
  14. As explained here, the definition of pixel is greatly dependent on the context so, absent of any qualifiers that statement would likely be incorrect more often than not.
  15. There is simply no reliable way to determine what any one idea is worth on its own, separate & apart from everything else. If you think otherwise please give an example of the "kind' of idea whose value somehow could be quantified independently of all else. But this is really much simpler than that: In no meaningful sense, legally or otherwise, is it possible to own an idea. Therefore it is neither real or intellectual property & cannot be sold, licensed, given away, etc.
  16. There is absolutely no way you could know if what you suggested to them was an original idea that had not been suggested by someone else inside or outside the company, & no way for either you or them to know what if any monetary benefits would be derived solely from its implementation. But regardless, you are not doing any of the work needed to implement the idea, which is why your sportswear analogy is bogus.
  17. IOW, the designer did all the work to produce the design, just like @pixelstuff said. So unless you did all the work to turn your idea into an actual product feature, why would you expect Canva to pay you anything for it?
  18. First, they would never agree to that unless you could somehow prove the idea is an original one of yours that no one else has ever thought of. You & Canva would also both need to be prepared to defend any legal actions resulting from claims by others that the idea was something they thought of first. Second, how could Canva quantify how much money implementing that idea had made them? But more to the point, consider it akin to trying to copyright or patent an idea vs. copyrighting or patenting something substantive like a book or an invention. AFAIK, there is no legal precedent for anything like that.
  19. FWIW, my French to English translator Safari extension translates "Variante de police" as "Variants of policies." So I assumed it was the same label as what the Mac Character Viewer labels "Font Variation" in English.
  20. Which has nothing to do with it. To my knowledge, no company pays for nothing more than ideas its customers have submitted.
  21. "Where the stroke should be" is what I was calling the path of a vector object, so you sometimes get the same thing I am getting consistently. To apply the picked style to another vector object, I can either drag around it with the tool or click on its path, but if I click inside that object I get the same flash you do, so it seems buggy to me.
