For those of you who are not into the technical details there is an app on the app store "Connect My Tablet" which will walk you through all the steps one by one. It costs €13 which might seem unfair for an instruction manual, but it works.

As can be seen from the attached image, I have created an image in landscape which I would like to print at the top of an A4 sheet in portrait orientation. We used to have a Print Setup dialog in Macos which woulld allow me to do this. Then this was removed and inserted as an option in the Print Dialog. Now it seems to have disappeared altogether. I know I can create a portrait A4 sheet and paste it into that for printing. I know I can export it to Preview, rotate and print from there. But wonder why this often important feature has been removed?

No problem, I appreciate the help 👍

Great, thanks pbasdf, that was exactly what I was looking for. I don't see this option in Photo, am I right? And is there a way to make this the default behaviour?

Yep, I did. It filled in big chunks of the centre of the logo as well. The point is, why on earth is it necessary to fill in these artificially created holes? Why are these left in by the developers? Who would want a vector they had drawn to have this "feature"? Can anyone give me an example of where a designer would want this to happen?

I've searched for days, watched countless videos, gone down many black holes... Can anyone please tell me why this is so counter-intuitive and what I am supposed to do (other than botching it every time). There are three filled vector shapes here, it's the middle one I am referring to. It would appear that a vector shape overlapping itself does an XOR on the content and leaves a transparent hole. I understand how this happens in code having been a programmer for decades. What I cannot understand is why this remains in a commercial application. Is there some edge case that I cannot see that would suggest this is a good idea? Surely anyone trying to create a vector would want it to appear solid? Many thanks for either a solution (which has evaded me) or for some message from the developers explaining its existence. Same thing happens in Photo and Designer.

Thank God! I've been waiting for this basic functionality for years. Writing reference manuals is ludicrously complicated without this basic feature. AP is a great app otherwise.

Another two years has passed and still no way of changing the guide colour? I think Fritz_H was right, these buried topics do absolutely nothing.

I'm on a Mac using Affinity Publisher with a large document I'm trying to bounce to pdf to proofread and am getting the same issue. Surely there is some way I can move the cache to an external drive rather than having it gobble up 60gb and more of space on my system drive whilst creating the pdf?

Please get some of your developers/designers/testers 5k iMacs to test with. I'm sure the UI works well with a laptop/notebook sized screen but as far as I'm concerned it's unuseable on my iMac. I am 54 years of age and wear glasses but I work with loads of other apps on my iMac with no problem. I'm not asking you to change your UI - just to add the option to scale it up. I know you have some preferences to scale things up but none of them get anywhere near making the UI useable for me. I love your apps, I love your company, I just can't work with the miniscule icons and text. :)

I've said this before on other posts, please, PLEASE, PLEASE allow us to enlarge the icons and fonts in the UI. There are options in preferences to supposedly increase these but their largest size is still laughably small for a 27" retina iMac. I have bought Affinity Designer and would also buy Affinity Photo but I quite literally cannot use them.

Please, please, please can you offer an option to increase the size of UI elements? It's not a matter of measuring yourself against other apps' UIs, there is the option for Affinity to be the market leader. You obviously recognise that there is a need for different sizes for the 'Tool UI' so why not for the UI itself? iOS is now leading the field with scalable fonts at a system level so you would be ahead of the pack as it is inevitable that at some stage this will come to the Mac. If I'm using a laptop it makes no difference as I'm sitting maybe 12-14 inches from the screen, but with my 5k iMac I sit about 20-24 inches away from it and this makes a big difference.

I would also love to see an option for bigger UI elements, Icons and Font Sizes.

I was in the BETA and just now purchased the full version. I would love for a preference that increases the icon and font size in the UI as I am using it on a 27" 5k iMac. I really had thought this was the preference I was looking for. Ah well...
