Cantrip

I definitely agree with JGD. System-wide consistency is one of the reasons people like OS X. Although I guess the entire UI of Affinity (so far) doesn't really "feel" native to OS X anyway, so whatever.

Global swatches are very helpful. I use them in most projects.

Thanks for the response. It's nice to know that you're considering the scripting.

I haven't been keeping up with what Apple is doing with Javascript in OS X. Are they basically shifting away from Applescript? I hope so.

First of all, I'd like to say how impressed I am with Designer so far. Using it is a breath of fresh air compared to Illustrator. I'm very excited to see some actual competition for Adobe in the vector area. I couldn't seem to find a roadmap anywhere, so forgive me if this question is redundant-- Will scripting support be added at some point after the initial release? Inkscape is currently a letdown, but the one thing it really has going for it is the Python scripting support. If you do end up adding scripting to Designer, I'm really hoping it's Python-- but for love of god please don't make Applescript the only supported language. Applescript does an okay job of simple tasks, but using it for more complicated scripts is like pulling teeth (I won't go into all the reasons that Applescript is a well intentioned but ultimately terrible scripting language). Please, please consider Python or Javascript. Having said that, I'm sure everyone has an "essential feature" they want to see in Designer. I understand that scripting support is probably one of the more complicated requests to make, though. Thanks, and keep up the great work.
