Unnecessary super-low-resolution rendering of vector objects copied to clipboard and pasted in non-Affinity products

No effects, I have tried with and w/o SVG option, did not change outcome. Posted examples are w/o SVG option.

Since one of the most recent updates there is a lot of unnecessary low-res rendering going on when Affinity Designer vector objects are copied. Earlier, some of these issues could be fixed by pasting into Preview and copying from there but now there is no fix other than exporting to a bitmap. Please fix soon, this is incredibly annoying.

Feature request: 'Select same' color, line, fill etc

Thanks y'all for fixing this!! Also, I am relieved that pasted graphics' text are no longer converted to textboxes. The dark v1.8 ages seem largely over LOL Lars

Hurray, thanks! I was getting close to rent Illustrator and heavy heartedly abandon Affinity over this issue...
-
@MEB Any update on the import as artistic text vs import as textbox? The problem is still continuing to disrupt our workflows in major ways and with each week, the number of files that have textboxes where they should have artistic text increases...

Hi transposable, I have started to use the 'Show alignment handles' feature in combination with Snapping (activate snapping to bounding box, midpoints, object geometry). Still not really what I would prefer but it facilitates the trivial tasks a lot. Hope this helps. Lars ScreenRecording.mov -

Thanks. In general, I would really love to see the align to key object function to be less cumbersome. Most scientific or technical artwork requires A LOT of alignments to key-objects. It would be nice if one could select the key object by mouse (or keyboard mouse combo), or have dedicated buttons for placement in the toolbar; the buttons behavior (align to first/last) could be set via the application preferences, I assume most people are settling for one or the other for their workflow and have no need to pick it for each alignment... -

In 1.8.3, the alignment to key object pop-up behavior has been changed, and has become way more tedious to use: The preferred method of alignment ('last selected' etc) now has to selected after the 'centered' etc button has been pressed FOR EVERY SINGLE ALIGNMENT. The tool does not remember the last selection. Doing a lot of key-object alignments, this totally random change has dealt another blow to my workflows.

Before this change, the tool was remembering the previous selection, so one could do several consecutive alignments to key objects without having to re-select the method of choice. Now, one has to select it again for every alignment. Yet another random decision made workflows much more tedious, it drives me up the walls. If only the development efforts would have been used to make the tool easier to use, rather than more tedious. -

Thanks for the tip. This is how I handle the situation at the moment. It's a workaround though, and a more elegant solution would be nice. Similarly, also each computer has to have it's toolbar and workspace configured individually, and often from scratch after updates. A cloud based solution for prefs and presets would be nice to have.

Version 1.8: A rant

It would be really nice if there was a way to perform key-object alignments without having to navigate over and over trough a menubar pop-up. I would love to see either the 'align to first/last' s functions directly in the toolbar (not in a pop-up) or even better, a way to select the key object for the alignment by mouse (e.g. second click on selected object, or modifier-key click to make key) Thanks for your consideration, Lars

I work on multiple computers and I have a set of symbols and swatches that I frequently use and modify. It would be nice if they would sync between different computers eg. via the Affinity folders on iCloud. Thanks, Lars

Why fixing something that was not broken in the first place? Aligning to key objects make up about 70% of my alignments, and this change of behavior does not improve anything. I would have preferred it if the development efforts would have been used for an actual improvement, e.g. the ability to select a key object with the mouse, rather than having to navigate through a pop-up menu over and over again.
