    in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)

    You can read about them here.


    Hi, Ash.

    As promised yesterday, I will share if this sounds good to me, and it sounds OK. Here is why:

    • Pledge 1: The perpetual Licensing model is what attracted people in the first place, but I feel like if some kind of subscription appears, it will be seen as a Red Flag if offered from you. If Canva is the one adding the Affinity Suite with their current Pricing Plans, well, that'd be seen like an addition. Still, I've read some comments that the Canva Team has changed pricing policies and this will still keep us watching closely.
    • Pledge 2: Keeping Affinity as it is also key: installed locally with no need of being connected to the Internet (except when activating the Product). Now, regarding the development and the speed in which new versions are delivered: we will see if more money brings that but I'm not sure that we'll see Features coming twice as fast or double of them in the same period of 3 moths (roughly) when new releases come out, as an example. 
    • Pledge 3: I like this one. Hope it works great
    • Pledge 4: This is a complex one, because as you know, people have been really vocal about demanding Features in the forums, so there are features (as the one you mention on Pledge 2) that you are aware that people want for yesterday. I will take y time to fill the form you provided as well.

    We'll see if these pledges even last in the coming years.

    Best regards!

    Yes I do! Realise there seems to be a distinct lack of faith flying around here, but we'll be revealing more about our plans in the coming days and yes I'm sure you will all be pleased with what we have to say.

    I'll let you know if that sounds good to me.

    How it turns out in the end will be another converation.

    Best regards!

    I honestly think you'll all be pleased with the outcome of this

    That's yet to be seen.

    Realise this announcement has come as a surprise

    The only surprises that I like are for birthday parties.

    I understand the feeling of uncertainty

    And that's because we've seen this story time and time again.

    I do think it's all very positive for the company and our customers.

    I'm truly thankful for all you've done since the first Beta of Affinity Designer up until yesterday, but I'm afraid we'll come back to this conversation down the road and talk about the new surprises we'll see.

    Bes regards!

    Thank you for your response. My question pertains to the preferance between the types of fonts—such as Free or Open Source Fonts—as mentioned by @Mithferion in the initial post, and their sources.

    Hi!

    Fonts that are being published under the SIL Open Font License can be considered the "safest", meaning that you can create Documents, Logos, Images or Videos with them with no worries at all, which are the main things you could create as a designer. But other free Fonts can include such terms and rights so that's why they can be just as safe to use. For example, I can consider that Ilisarniq's License is safe to use for Design purposes (see the EULA section).

    But still, Fonts that are not freely available under the  SIL Open Font License could include some kind of limitations, it's best to take a look at what they allow you to do.

    Hope that helps.

    Best regards!

    Pseudo-Arc Tool using the Donut Tool + Point Transform Tool

    in Tutorials (Staff and Customer Created Tutorials)

    Posted

    Hi there!

    I was remembering this Feature request where there is a video demo of the required functionality, and while I still think this would be a great addition I asked myself: could this possibly be done right now? And it can, sort of. See video below:

    As you can see, after you set the Donut Tool, you can switch between it and the Point Transform Tool to create the curves.

    The bad:

    • You need to switch constantly between Tools
    • There is no snapping to any intersecting line
    • You have to delete segments to have a single line in the curved line

    BUT I think the good news is that:

    • It can be done
    • It's fun
    • I hope this encourages the Devs to spend some time in it given that it doesn't seem to be that far away

    Best regards!

    But then every change would be immediately live which I don't consider a good idea in this special case.
    I, for one, actually prefer the Apply/Cancel solution which is more transparent than just doing an Undo upon a failed alignment attempt.

    Maybe there is something that I'm missing but when using the Alignment Panel, it does make the changes live and it leaves them there. O.o

    Any chance you can upload a video showing how you use it?

    Best regards!

    There is a thing why it shouldn't be a "regular" panel:
    The Apply/Cancel buttons.

    Regular Studio panels don't and shouldn't have these buttons.

    But it should be a regular floating window with these buttons, available from a menu.

    Good point. In Inkscape, there is no need for those buttons, so there shouldn't be there if they create a dedicated Panel:
