My current sentiment, re: v2.6
chirpy replied to Viktor CR's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Don't forget the Graphics Find & Replace Panel in Freehand. It's still better than anything I've seen in any app since then. -
Affinity Photo Printing Crop Marks
chirpy replied to chirpy's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
@NathanC I exported the doc as a PDF and they appear, but what is the line weight of Affinity's crop marks? They look very thin on the PDF... Like not even .25 pt line thickness thin. -
Affinity Photo Printing Crop Marks

Sure. Attached. The gray box is where a flat pixel image appears. I cannot show the actual image for copyright reasons. 11x14-Affinity-File.afphoto -
Affinity Photo Printing Crop Marks
chirpy replied to chirpy's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
It is large format paper and printer. There is plenty of room. Why would I do those things when I don't want to do those things? It should print with crop marks if that is an option within the app. -
Affinity Photo Printing Crop Marks
chirpy replied to chirpy's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
No, I am using a large format printer that has plenty of area for the full size document I am printing. The crop marks should have shown up if they actually printed. -
Hello, I was trying to print an Affinity Photo file and selected the option to print crop marks only (deselected registration marks, etc), but when my document prints it does not have any crop marks on it. Is this a bug? Using Photo version 2.6.2 on Mac OS 15.4.1.

While I might think that some people would have in issue with the top buttons (maybe), I definitely disagree with a dropdown not being alphabetically organized. That's how UI's work. That's how dropdown form menus are organized on websites. Mixing things up just because "someone" thinks that people will use certain formats more than others doesn't make any sense whatsoever. If we're going by that logic, for Affinity Photo (a photo editing app), why does EPS (or even PDF) come before HDR? HDR is a photo format. EPS is a vector format used for logos and artwork and I'm guessing maybe 1% of people using Photo will ever export a file as an EPS. That is not logical. They shouldn't even come before PSD, if that is the case, because I've had to send clients PSD files from Photo far more than EPS or PDFs. Whereas in Affinity Designer I've had to send EPS files more than TIFFs. Just put things in alphabetical order and it will be easier for everyone. I have been using V2 of all the Affinity apps since they were released and it still takes me a long time to figure out where an export option is in that dropdown. That means something is wrong with the UI.

I am hoping that for the next version of Affinity apps they revert to the much better layout for File > Export than it is in version 2.x. V2 seems so unorganized. Even the dropdown menu is not in alphabetical order for some reason. Makes it take longer than it should to find what I want to do. The file format buttons along the top in V1 were much better.

Affinity Roadmap
chirpy replied to ceocan's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
It would still be nice if Affinity created a Roadmap so that users know what features are coming next. Is there a particular reason the company doesn’t want to do that? It has been almost 5 years since the original post. The last round of updates, particularly to Designer, was pretty small. Users have been requesting vector trace for a long time and there has been no word on this feature being added. It’s not something that I would use, but it seems like one of the most requested features by Designer users. Additionally, vector brushes, which I most definitely would use. Adding a search feature to the Brushes panel was a rather odd addition to me and kind of useless, whereas vector brushes would be most welcome. An internal road map must exist for the purpose of keeping things on track. The features being added do not seem to be earth shattering enough to be closely guarded secrets, so why not make them public and put your user base at ease? -
Vector tracing in Affinity Designer
chirpy replied to LG Web Design's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
It’s pretty disappointing they haven’t added vector brushes yet, either. People have been asking for these two features four a long time. Designer is the flagship product and it seems like the features it’s been getting lately are pretty minor. -
Thumbnails not previewing on Mac
chirpy replied to frustrateddesigner's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
The preview issue. But, does it matter if they are both taking this long to fix? Sequoia has been out for a while now. Plenty of time to address these things with a quick 2.5.6 fix and not have to wait for a 2.6 app update. -

Any idea when (timeframe) this is going to be fixed? It has now been well over a month. -
Questions on Canva acquiring Affinity

I guess you haven’t been on Twitter? Or Reddit? Or YouTube? After the announcement. -
Questions on Canva acquiring Affinity
chirpy replied to kaffeeundsalz's topic in Customer Service, Accounts and Purchasing
I think you might be in the minority of Canva users, though. Most people don't want to even do research about the software they use. They tend to go for things that are "hyped up" that they've heard about.
