  1. I would prefer an approach like this:

    Quote

    let currentURL: URL = URL( string: "affinity-photo-stack:///media/GGT_14802.NEF&/media/GGT_14803.NEF&/media/GGT_14807.NEF&/media/GGT_14809.NEF&/media/GGT_14812.NEF&/media/GGT_14815.NEF&/media/GGT_14817.NEF&/media/GGT_14833.NEF" )!

    _ = NSWorkspace.shared.open(
                    [ currentURL ],
                    withAppBundleIdentifier: "com.seriflabs.affinityphoto",
                    options: .andHideOthers,
                    additionalEventParamDescriptor: nil,
                    launchIdentifiers: nil
                )

    Hi ggt667 :)

    Other external DAMs (such as Lightroom) are able to open images in Affinity Photo, so I see no reason why you could not use something like the following command in terminal to launch an image in Affinity:

    
    open -a "Affinity Photo.app" test.jpg

    Replace test.jpg with the file name and add the file location - this should open the image in Affinity Photo.
    I tested the above code in terminal with test.jpg on the desktop and it functioned as expected. I hope this helps!

    In essence I would like to do

    @ggt667, if you are interested in using Terminal for your project

    I do prefer to use NSWorkspace or link protocols; such as ```affinity-photo```, perhaps protocols could be added like: ```affinity-photo-stack```

    ```affinity-photo-develop```

    ```affinity-photo-export```

    ```affinity-photo-appendSelectionToFrontmostWorkspaceAsLayers```

    ```affinity-photo-and```

    ```affinity-photo-so```

    ```affinity-photo-on```

    There are no issues opening 1 - one file, the issue is that I would like to open a selection in context.

    I assume this will require som AppleEvents or parameters on the Affinity Photo side of things.

  5. I would like to be able to make the selection of n images in the DAM( Think Aperture as a cataloging tool, but no editing, ) and would like to add a function there to open the current selection of images as *[ a stack ] in Affinity Photo.

    How?

    Can I call Affinity remote?

     

    Where the content of *[ ] could be anything that would benefit the user, such as:

    [ append selection to frontmost workspace ]

    [ open selected files individually ]

  6. For better or worse this approach lacks the naming of each artboard item; I would really like to see the artboard item name in the gutter of the image, like on the screen.

    "Splash screen" may be obvious from appearance alone, however the difference between setup wizard and preferences may look exactly the same sometimes and sometimes have suttle design differences.

    For now I use about 2-10 screen shots of each project to communicate between inventor, designer, and programmer, this is not good. What I'd like is to have the same as looking at the screen, yet with each art board page as a separate page when printing with its name in the gutter.

    Hereeee comes Publisher!...Wow, having decades of using Pagemaker, Quarkxpress and InDesigner for the newspaper, I wonder what will be the next big thing. What I like in InDesign are creating tables that I can manipulate the stroke's width/color, fill.., the data merge.., the scripts... I wish Publisher have these :P 

    The sad thing about InDesign is that it hardly has anything that FileMaker does not. QuarkXPress at least has precision, and FrameMaker has some really good documentation features. PageMaker and Word I can hardly tell apart.

  8. How can I print all artboards in one document by the push of the print button once?

    Only way I found is to select artboards 1 by one the push print.
     
    I would love to be able to print all art boards to individual sheets scaled to the chosen paper; just a batch print of that actually would do either to PDF or paper; depening on use case.
     
    iPhone apps are in general 8 - 90 artboards for me.
  9. I'm in Affinity Designer

     

    I would like to be able to click 1 time to select the object closer to me, I would like to hold a key and click one more time to select the object below, I would like to hold the same key and click the object deeper, and so on. When the latter 2 combined with shift I would like to be able to select the object 1 deeper in addition to my current selection.

  10. 2a. With the Node Tool selected click the node you want to "break" then go to the context toobar and press Break Curve icon from the Action section. Do the same for another node in the same curve and you end up with two independent open paths.

    2b. With the Node Tool, select both curves and press Join Curves (note this will join the closest end node of each curve) from the Action section in the context toolbar, then press Close Curves to close the other gap. If you want more control over this, you can also drag an end node from one curve over another end node from the other, then press Join Curves from the Action section in the context toolbar. Make sure you have snap enabled to ensure a correct join.

    2a works as described.

    2b on the other hand I do have a hard time with.

    2b1 Join curves does nothing; I select the 2 endpoints and click on join curves.

    2b2 Close curves brings back together the full shapes I broke apart with 2a

     

    This is the only clue I have for now: I have several separate curves; yet when I change their color all of them change color at the same time.

     

    I would like to include the white space in the middle of a color to also be part of the outlined area.

    Somehow it looks like the green part is more apart than the yellow one; is this due to some kind of grouping?

  11. Hi ggt667,

    Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

    Thanks I deleted Adobe CS4 suite and saved some space on my hard drive, after trying this a bit I realized that the space saved was not the hugest benefit, it looks like Affinity Photos does alot more on GPU and CPU, or perhaps the code is just less legacy than that of Adobe products. At least the real benefit for me on an old MacPro is that everything is much smoother.

     

    Even though I prefer Krita or Autodesk Sketchbook for actual illustrations, I see that for less crafty more technical graphics Affinity Photos and Designer can replace Photoshop and Illustrator for me 100% kudos on the best replacement for Adobe Photoshop to date; I'm still getting used to Affinity Designer however, but it's just a matter of me learning shortcuts.

     

    Did anyone make cheatsheets? Is this up to date? https://affinity.serif.com/blog/new-keyboard-shortcut-cheat-sheets/ What about the other persona? Oh here they are: https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/affinity-docs/shortcuts/Affinity-Shortcuts-Cheat-Sheet.pdf

     

    Are there color codes?

     

    I ordered Das Keyboard Q5, I would like to implement color scheme for that keyboard if anyone have a predefined color scheme. For all the applications I use: Final Cut Pro, Affinity Photos and Designer, Apple Aperture, Apple Soundtrack, tmux and vim.
