GRAFKOM

Rozczarowani klienci to ci, którzy czują się niepewnie. Po prostu napisz na głównej stronie forum, że nie przesyłasz wersji beta lub małych aktualizacji, ponieważ pracujesz nad wersją 2.0. Każdy to zrozumie i nie podawaj daty, jeśli nie chcesz. Ale teraz, gdy niektórzy ludzie piszą, że Affinity umarł lub Serif nie ma pracowników, aby uaktualnić linię programów Affinity. Musisz dobrze przeglądać forum, aby dowiedzieć się losowo, że coś się dzieje z oprogramowaniem. Jestem przedsiębiorcą, który na co dzień korzysta z oprogramowania Affinity w swojej pracy zawodowej. Chcę dać ci moje pieniądze, które trzymam za aktualizację CorelDraw (znacznie więcej pieniędzy niż 3 programy Affinity). Daj mi powód, aby te pieniądze trafiły do Serif, a nie corelDraw. Naprawdę, chciałbym dać ci dużo pieniędzy na programy, które mam nadzieję, że są tworzone (po prostu powiedz nam o tym) i które nie będą miały wielu błędów. Nie chcę niczego za darmo - zarabiam pieniądze tworząc za pomocą twojego oprogramowania.

Coś w stylu: "Wiem, ale nie powiem".

Sprawdź program Affinity za 10 lat, może coś pójdzie w tym kierunku. Serif niestety nie korzysta z tabletów z systemem Windows, gdzie używane są gesty i rysik, w przeciwnym razie wiedziałby, że w tym momencie używanie np. programów Surface pro i Affinity jest bezcelowe. Proces wprowadzania zmian w Affinity jest tak powolny, że za chwilę zmienisz okna na windows 20, a od Serif i tak nie dostaniesz odpowiedzi, ponieważ "czytają, ale nie odpowiadają.

W samym Serifie wydaje się, że nie wiedzą nic o powinowactwie 2.0.😁

Actually, I wonder what this conversation is for. Serif probably doesn't even read this information anyway. Please check my 2017 post this is 5 years ago. At that time, I was sending a proposal to improve the Affinity interface. Has anything changed since then? So I don't believe anything will change on this point anyway.

The only sad thing is that our discussion will not work anyway.

In general, it is probably more about adding the ability to add other icons to the interface in the top bar, than just those that are standard in the newly installed Affinity program. We want us to be able to decide for ourselves which icons are needed and which are not. There are undo icons in the iPad, macOS, and Surface Pro Windows does not. So if it were possible to add these icons, then working on Surface Windows would be easier. By the way, I have a question: do the opponents of inserting additional icons on the top bar, e.g. undoing, work professionally on Affinity programs on a daily basis? I ask out of curiosity.

Five years ago I wrote on this forum that it would be possible to add icons to the top taskbar by myself (similar to CorelDraw). At the moment it is a very, very, very limited amount of icons. Users could add buttons like: new, open, print, back, redo, import, export etc. If someone doesn't want to add, they don't add and have a clean top icon bar. I remember Sefif wrote in the forum that he wanted a minimalist top toolbar. I just don't know if any of the Affinity interface designers work with this program. Probably not, because he does not know how often these icons are used in normal everyday work on the software. I work every day at work (I am a graphic designer in an advertising company) also on Surface Pro 8 (Windows), there is no keyboard included. All simple activities that can be performed with 1 click on the icon (which is not there) have to be clicked through the top menu. So: e.g. undo, redo, print, insert etc. Adding an additional History panel takes up a lot of space on a small screen. A small undo icon would be enough. With the stubbornness of a maniac, Serif does not want to allow these icons to be added on their own. And it's probably not technical reasons that they can't do it, after all, they did all the software. Coming back to Corel Draw - it allows you to add an icon to each activity and function that is in the program, if there is no appropriate icon (and there is a huge amount to choose from), you can create your own icon in this program and connect it to any function or activity). Perhaps Serif programmers should look at other graphics programs on the market? In my opinion, this is empty talk, because I personally do not believe that it will be done, it's been 7 years since the creation of Affinity, and many features are not fixed (I'm not talking about adding new features, but about fixing). Very rarely does Serif respond to the needs of users, as if no one would read this information from their side. I compare it only to the VectorStyler software - where the response and reaction of the creator is almost immediate - yes I know there is only 1 program, Affity 3 programs on 3 platforms, but VectorStyler has contact.

Well, I got a comprehensive answer. Thank you.

These are some contradictions. So there is no new information, but still quietly secret from all Affinity programs are developing. An interesting way to promote software. As I wrote before, I use Affinity for my professional work on a daily basis. At the beginning of the development of this software, I actively participated in beta versions, suggesting ideas for improving the program, but I noticed that it does nothing anyway. I have the impression that Affinity developers are making the program, but not working on it! Users suggest ideas and corrections, but it also happens at such a snail's pace. The last updates were only the fixes of the patches of the corrected patches. And I don't expect anything for free here. I will be happy to pay a lot, much more money for the efficiently running Afinity software, even in version 1, if it is devoid of a lot of errors and flaws. If Serif is working on a new version 2.0, it is enough to say and write that you are developing version 2, not that there is no information. Thank you. Butryn Marek, Poland.

This is somewhat disturbing information. Has Serif stopped working on Affinity products? There is no new information regarding the new beta version 1.0. for several months. Could this be the end of the Affinity product line? It is a pity, because I work on a daily basis in the Affinity programs. Maybe Serif should hire you from Vectorstyler. There you can really see the progress of work on the development of the program and contact with customers. So goodbye Affinity. Serif encouraged graphic designers for his program and he seems to give up.

Ostatnio prace nad programami Affinity znacznie zwolniły, a nawet ostatnie aktualizacje były poprawkami. Mówi się, że Serif nie ma informatyków, którzy mogliby dalej rozwijać programy Affinity. Dwa lub trzy lata temu prawdopodobnie pracowali inni specjaliści IT, ponieważ wtedy można było zobaczyć postęp z kolejnymi aktualizacjami i dodano nowe funkcje (w ramach wersji 1.0) Teraz wszystko się zatrzymało. W tych 3 programach jest mnóstwo błędów i niedociągnięć. A teraz są dwie opcje: albo będzie awaryjna wersja 2.0 ze naprawionymi błędami i nowymi funkcjami (bez wersji beta?) Albo jest to koniec Serif, który wycofuje się z rynku.

Przestań prosić o tę okazję. Serif nie poprawi tego błędu moim zdaniem, a także wielu innych błędów. Nie ma teraz z nimi inteligentnych specjalistów IT. Tempo rozwoju jest tak szybkie, że wersja 2.0 pojawi się może za 7 lat. Problem, o którym mówisz, był omawiany ostatnio 2 lata temu: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/104816-set-units-to-mm-millimeters-application-wide/&tab=comments#comment-569863

I have the impression that the IT people who started to create the Affinity suite no longer work at Serif. 8 years ago, when the Affinity package was created, there were many very interesting ideas for the development of this software, there were fresh ideas and work started, but a lot of functions stopped at the very beginning of the program development and so far have not been completed, including the progress bar , 8 years have passed and what? and still no progress bar. I'm sure there aren't any more people in Serif who can do it. It's a pity, I have been using this program professionally for 7 years and I would even like to pay extra for this function and many more. Give Serif an account number, I will transfer a donation to develop the functions or hire new fresh IT specialists who will be able to complete unfinished functions.

Already a year ago, I asked for this feature and many other fixes. In the end, I gave up asking for features and tweaks because Serif won't implement them anyway. Version 1 of Affinity has been running for 7 years now and the changes are so slow that there are two options: either version 2.0 is coming where these changes and fixes will be implemented, or Serfi has no IT specialists who can fix anything. It is enough to look at Vectorstyler in what way it is developing and how it has contact with users.

I confirm this error.

Maybe Serif should see how Vectostyler can do it very nicely.

Serif, please do as it used to be, that the include bleed button was visible in the main export window. Now, in the three Affinity programs for Mac and Windows, this button, depending on whether you export as png, jpg, gif, tiff and pdf, is on the main export pane or in the More pane. In my work, where I use Affinity every day and design e.g. business cards, leaflets, posters etc., I need to export with bleed. I bought Affinity licenses for two Mac and Windows systems. And here's not that unified button. When exporting to Mac to jpg it is in the main export window (very good) in the Windows version you need to click the More button to select include bleed (very bad). It is similar when exporting to png, tiff, gif. So please tidy it up. I want to pay for it. Please enter the amount and account number.

Repeatedly Serif has been asked for this function, but apparently IT professionals don't have time to deal with trivialities. Vectorstyler, although it is still in beta, can do it. I too, probably 2 years ago, asked for this function of converting artistic text into framed text and vice versa. Two years have passed and what?

I reinstalled 1.8.4 with hopes of improvement, but actually the font preview only works the first time, re-selecting a different font no longer shows the preview. This is the case in all Affinity in-store programs and versions, including Beta on Mac BigSur 11.0.1 On Windows 10, the preview works normally.

Am I the only one having the font preview problem when selecting a font from the font drop-down list? It drives me crazy. This preview also does not work in 1.8.6 Publisher and the latest Beta releases. Imac 27 inch 2015. BigSur 11.0.1

Exactly. Previewing fonts from the dropdown font list does not work in Designer, Photo and Publisher 1.8.6. in BigSur MacOS. You can't work like this. Is it possible to go back to version 1.8.5?

Thank you for your help. Indeed, you just need to group the match layer to make it work for all other pages, but you don't have to do Master B, you can put it all in Master A, just a match layer in the group of course (yes, only one item in the group).

How do I have the Publisher put Master A Adjustments Levels on the page and have the Adjustments settings affect all other pages in the document with Master A. Now in 1.8.4 Levels it only works within Master A, but not on other objects in pages with Master A set. I mean, I have a scanned book of 400 pages to make. You need to darken and sharpen all scanned pages a bit. It would be enough just in Master A to set the Levels to darkening and all pages could darken, but at this point it does not work and I would have to insert Adjustments Levels on each page of these 400 pages.

I wouldn't count on it. Maybe only in version 2.0 or 15.0
