Really helpful. Thx.

I would change the style of the text.

As a fireworks user, +1 to this. There are lots of UX improvement needed to be done. And lots of time it can save for us.

Let's start with: Why I can't copy, paste or duplicate slices? And why I can't arrange the order of slices in the slices panel? Well, here goes my thoughts on how to get rid of the Slices and the Export Options panels. And merge draw and export Persona like fireworks please. It'll save a lot of time.

1/ Because amazon cloud is blocked. but just beta version are hosted on AWS. Maybe make a mirror on other hosting service? 2/ Should be translated to"Chinese font name is not displayed in Chinese locale name". 1/ 因为亚马逊云国内被屏蔽了。只能请开发商换个地方放测试版。付费版用的 cloudfront 的 cdn，没有下载问题。 2/ 翻译有歧义，帮你翻译成正确的意思了。

Totally agree on the Sketch like property panel as a long time Fireworks user. Though the layers doesn't bore me.

The lighting is really beautiful.

Yeah, it' looks a little radical and personal. That's why I hope the Devs have user usage data to do the decision. Take the Group button for example: As you can see, designers in this industry have been used Adobe's software without a Group button on the dynamic toolbar for a long time with no complain. And Adobe sure have done a lot usage stats and analyzation. Just a design principle: Leave the most used, selection content related, hard to have done by simple shortcut features on the dynamic toolbar.

I only use bitmap for building mockup from screenshot. Just A few tools are essential (as I use most in Fireworks): 1. the Rectangle Marquee and Selection Brush (cut and make up screenshots, extract elements I don't want to draw) 2. the Eraser (remove small portion of edges). 3. the Effects panel. (adjust color, casta drop shadow) 4. the Clone Stamp (to patch up the UI make up, though AD don't have it) As long as these tools were available in the Draw Personal, I won't touch the Pixel persona. We got better softwares for image editing, and AD even don't have bitmap filters. (Comparing to my good old Fireworks) (Actually I would like to hear some user stories from someone who do heavily depend on Pixel tools in a vector drawing software) (Actually I want to hear user stories from someone who heavily depend on Pixel persona) 2. the Clone Stamp (to patch up)

Well, let the (extremely large) image speak. And there is more if I can't help. Hope you guys have already collected some usage data to do the UX design. (Simply per user daily function invoke count sorted by invoke route would talk a lot)

I'm using the Outer Glow effect to create solid outline for GIF sprites by increasing the Intensity. (Outline effect is not an option since it can't create solid pixels.) Here is a test file: test.afdesign (I applied the effect to layers to better demostrate the problem.) But the output result is missing border pixels like below: (Pixel view mode 3x) The result is not smooth. And what's terrible is the Pixel view in 2x: The render result is a blurry mess to work with.

Scripting is a great addtion, but don't use python please.

While moving artboard, the slices inside the artboard won't move along. It takes a lots of time to re-align the slices after arranging artboards, since my project has at least 8 artboards in it. Could you let the slices move along with artboards?

Same on 1.5.1.41 beta. I have 141 slices in my file, and the lag is about 5s per action. The cause might be the small preview thumbnails of Slices panel. By hiding the Slices panel, the slow down is gone. But I need to rename the slices in the panel, it's really a pain to cope with.

Got the latest beta and tried to make something. The icon is not the original one (just my personal taste). logo.afdesign

A Lounge Persona will be enough

Maybe create it as a hidden symbol and place a mirror as workaround? Actually I missed Javascript scripting in Fireworks.

I need this feature a lot.

Please put the Export & Export Slices Button on the toolbar in Export Persona. This makes sense and makes the functions easier to spot and access. Personnally, the first time I tried to export slices, I was looking for this function in the File menu. And I didn't even notice there is a Slices panel until I do some search in Google. Maybe place it separated from the Layers panel in the Export Persona would help some new comers like me.

Filter > Haze Removal...

IMO Android stencil is much important than UWP templates.

Fireworks is pretty good at both vector drawing and basic GIF animation. Though I prefer After Effects in most of my projects, having some basic animation feature like Fireworks is a good addtion.

Has this problem been fixed in the Release version? I'm considering purchase a license to switch from Fireworks to Affinity Designer.

I was a Adobe Fireworks user, and I can choose Hard fill mode for object I want to be rendered as pixel art. The curve thing is a little too complex to apply if you got a lots of objects.

I've tried setting Affinity Deisgner to use 650m, but the issue persists. After I set the zoom setting to 100% in system's settings (normally I set this to 125%), the glitch disappeared. Migth this be the source of the problem?
