    Capt Kirk: Just (Pause.............) Convert it. (Pause.........) tooooo (Pause....) curves {fall to knees in pain and overacts like you wouldn't believe} 
    Spock: The only logical outcome is to delineate the cursoor to the Convert to Curves co-ordinates and initiate a tactical click to decloak the romulan nodes.
    McCoy: For the love of god chillywilly just click the damned convert to curves button.

    valcoholic got a reaction from PaoloT in Publisher object selection behavior   
    Hello, 
    when select many objects in Publisher, I always have to 100% include them within the marquee tool's lasso to select them. Maybe I'm just blind (at least I do hope so) but is there a way to switch to a mode that includes just every objcet my lasso touches like in other applications?
    When working on layouts, selecting stuff is just one of the main things to do and this behaving like this is quite annyoing although I understand there are situations where you don't wanna select everything but very specific stuff. Still I do hope there's some switch I missed;
    thanks;

    valcoholic got a reaction from PaoloT in Pencil Hover Bezier/Pen tool   
    Hello, 
    when Apple announced Pencil hover, I knew for me thats an actual game changer. I have a Wacom cintiq and while I abandoned it after getting an iPad Pro, the ability to know where my brush is before I start drawing always kept me from feeling like I was actually working on something, but made it more like scribbling to find out. where it goes while in process. However, when I first worked with vectors in Designer, I loved how much effort Serif put into that app but immediately felt like this wouldn‘t make so much sense unless I can see where my path is gonna be placed before I hit the screen. Unlike scribling with a pixel pen, paths are a very clean thing to draw where its pretty tedious to reajust everything all the time after placing a point. So Pencil Hover would be the perfect thing for the pen tool and maybe there aren‘t enough M2 iPad Pro‘s out there to justify the effort, but I do pray its on your list as it would switch Designer from an app I here and then open to quickly adjust random things to an app I‘d actually love to dig in.
    This feature seems to be not an easy one to implement as other companies also can‘t seem to make this work (yet) but if you‘d be the first, I‘d raise a beer!

    Hi, I'm an infographic designer who did this for years with the Illustrator/Indesign-combo. Please, please, please do something for graphs, infographics, piecharts for Affinity Designer/publisher. I know, there is a basic piechart-builder, but that only works with one segment and would only allow very simple graphics. I do work in magazine production and do infographics for print and web on a daily basis and always have to rely on illustrator's tools which are OK but always seem like they haven't been overhauled for decades. Of course this woul have to go along with data (csv) import and stuff but if done right, you could really reach a niche that doesn't get so much support despite infotainment being among the rising stars in media.
    So pretty please, hear my prayers. In editorial design, having the ability to work in Publisher, jump into the designer-persona to create an infographic and jump back to publisher for the layout parts would be an amazing workflow. As copy-pasting contents between Illustrator and Indesign doesn't work so well, you still have to save Illustrator-files to then import them into Indesign. Its completely bonkers! I know this has been a request for many with V1, so I'm back to fight the fight! Infographics for everyone!

    valcoholic got a reaction from Lensman888 in 1.9 Pattern layer - not in Affinity Designer?   
    I don't get why this would be in Photo first. I always liked the idea of Serif using Designer as a tool to create designs and Photo to edit photos. Patterns are a tool for illustration, hence better fitted for Designer. I never liked having to use Photoshop to design stuff so it would be nice to draw a more clear line here instead of releasing designtools in photo.
    Buuuut I can also understand that Designer would demand for vector-patterns which might be more complex than the pixel only-brushes in Photo. 
    Still its sort of an odd roadmap and I'm waiting for patterns in Designer for years now.

    valcoholic got a reaction from Joachim_L in Pages that turn all the time ... Kinda Annoying!   
    Oooooh my new two favorite users, come here for a covid-safe-virtual-hug; 
     
    getting rid of this feels like another great feature of 1.9;
    @Serif: this feature is also weird, as I like to zoom to the cursor with command-Space and I guess it's understood how easy you would accidentally rotate the canvas a bit, everytime you'll do that. so iiii don't know, even if you can uncheck it, I just wouldn't have it checked by default and let users check it if they need

    valcoholic got a reaction from wtrmlnjuc in [AD] Isolation Mode   
    I've been among the very first buyers of AD when it initially released a long time ago yet always had to go back to illustrator when trying to really get into it as there was always something that demanded me to workaround a habit that just was in my veins. I understand that you can't just copy everthing from a competitor's product in order to really stand out, but there just are some things, like a layer panel, the position of a tools palette, artboards, that can please mean very fundamental demands for how an application works or just feel like the most intuitive way to get to a solution. 
    When I once upon a time requested here, that the pen-tool should be adjustable while drawing by hitting the spacebar to reajust a path on the fly, someone of the mods answered in a way like this wouldn't be necessary and is just a very individual request. 
    Still they added it ever since and for me it's like one major thing that would keep me from drawing anything inside AD as its way more precise and faster than drawing a wrong shape and correct it later. 

    Same thing is the case here. The lack of the isolation mode is a much bigger deal to me. The abiilty to click through nested and overlapping elements is nice, but far from a solution. You don't have to call it isolation mode, but it's not even something that only illustrator does. You can find it in Cinema 4D as well and why shouldn't you? It opens the possibility to really focus working on a detail, be quicker with selection or generally see how an element would look like a separate object on the fly. There are many reasons that make such a mode kinda crucial and it somehow hurts to see how great AD has grown especially with 1.8.1, yet still I couldn't just work as fluid as in other applications due to details like this one. 
    Again — I do understand that you don't wanna be some (nicer looking) AI clone. But especially on smaller screens (like the iPad) this would help so much. 
    So I really just can fall on my knees and pray for this implementation at some point.
