[Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.7.0.7)]

Just wanted to say "thank you" for the work and dedication. Now I'm off to have some vector fun!

[Add and Divide Freeze App]

Hello all,

I have had the same experience.

[New Icons Too Similar]

The icons for the retail apps sold in the Mac App Store are the original ones. The Designer & Photo betas are only available through this web site to users who have the retail versions installed (thus "customer" in their names). The square beta icons differentiate at a glance the betas, which are not ready for production use, from triangular icons for retail apps, which are. Since users must have the retail apps installed to use the customer betas, the difference serves an important function.

The function of the current icons is not at question — as stated by "fde101" — previously — the distinction was made by the addition of the word beta on the icon. Even in that instance the icon still proved to be unique. With the current version of icons there is sense of "Blah"; a blend in with the rest of the crowd feeling — nothing unique about them. 

From a design vantage it's a failure.

Why anybody would want to be distracted by any icons that held their attention is something I cannot understand. Apps are meant to be used, not admired, are they not?

@RC - R — It's about the complete package. As I stated previously the initial design is what caught my eye in the first place. Had it not been for that I would have passed on the app like I have done with so many others in the App Store. It was the admiration for the icon that drew me to the app — once I was drawn in the usage of the app turn out to be great also. So win / win. Truly sorry you can't understand.

[New Icons Too Similar]

Honestly — the square Affinity icons are NOT cutting it. When I first found the Affinity programs years ago it was the icons that commanded my attention & held it. The triangle shapes stood out because of their uniqueness. With the current approach there's an overwhelming sense of BLAH! Looking at my dock now I HONESTLY feel SAD. Please, Please re-invest in the original icons — don't take something absolutely great & place a mundane, unappealing icon with it.

Happy New Year & thanks for the update!

[Guides available for the canvas]

Psenda,

Never thought about that — that's a great work around. Thanks for the tip!

[Guides available for the canvas]

Psenda,

Thanks for the reply, but using guides is not the issue. I would like to use guides on the canvas[ grey background around the art-board] When I work on my illustrations I build elements on the canvas and then move into place on the art-board. As it stands now you can't see guides past the edge of your work area. 

Thanks

[Guides available for the canvas]

Hello, I trust all is well.

First let me say I love the Affinity eco-system. It's by far the best. Quick question, can guides usage on the canvas be added as a feature. I'm sure like myself a lot user create content on the canvas prior to adding it to their final creation — having access to the guides would truly be a great asset when aligning elements. Please add.

Once again a BIG THANKS goes out to the Affinity team for all the hard work on a truly great software bundle.

[How to extend guides onto the canvas]

All thanks for the reply. I thinks this should be an added feature. I often create object on the canvas so it would be extremely nice to have guides when aligning elements. 

[How to extend guides onto the canvas]

Hello 

I have a quick question. How do you extend guides to the canvas?

Thanks

[Reset the Control Key]

MEB,

Thanks, that worked. is there a way change that shortcut if so where it located in. the shortcut editor. 

[Reset the Control Key]

Hello all — I trust is all is well. 

I have a question. How do you reset the control key in Affinity Designer so that it doesn't open the short cut menu. I'm attempting to rotate and object and each time I press the control key I get the pop up quick menu. 

 

Thanks

[New app icon ?]

Yea, I agree. The new Publisher icon is disjointed. Please stay with the triangle.

 

[Affinity Publisher Public Beta - 1.7.0.174]

Just updated, so far things are nice, not so sure about the new icon, kinda looks out place.

As always thanks for the hard work!

[Affinity Publisher Public Beta - 1.7.0.133 (mac)]

Nice — looking forward to working with the new beta. Once again loving all things Publisher. Thank you for all the hard work.

[Affinity Publisher Public Beta - 1.7.0.128]

Hello, I trust all is well,

Just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE Publisher. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication, its truly appreciated. 

[Expand field text bug]

WOW! Just found your post — Im experiencing the same. I select a body of filler copy — then I goto Text > Expand,  as soon as I hover of the word "Expand" aPub quits. I re-restart, attempt again & the same result.

[Not able to select Filler Text]

Hello all,

I trust all is well. I just attempted to use the "Expand Field" option via the Text menu &  with each attempt aPUB crashes. Has anyone else experienced this?

["Insert Page Number" — missing]

**UPDATE**

I just re-started  aPub, check the menu & all seems to be right in the universe. 

Thanks again for all the replies.

["Insert Page Number" — missing]

All 

Thanks for the reply — when I attempt to use the Insert Page Number feature this is what I'm getting. 

 

["Insert Page Number" — missing]

Hello everyone,

I trust all is well — I have a question, I updated to the latest beta for aPub and I noticed that the "Insert Page Number" in missing. Has any one else experienced this?

Thanks
