  1. This topic seems to have died an ignominous death, so I'll try to revive it. A text / tag / metadata search would be a great professional capability addition. Please do consider it. Example: a common usage scenario for me is a lot of small icons/signs/signboards with different text. When I have to find certain one I'm going out of my mind (well, no - I just open it in Inkscape, where there is a nice search tool). I love Designer - it really is a pleasure to use, especially compared to Illustrator. But so many things are missing.... Obvious way would be to provide access to developers to build plugins? Am I'm missing something here?
  2. @Tourmaline, this is the Windows forum. I'm not sure what is "Change to previously selected input", under Windows, but I'm quite sure that the only reserved keys include Win key, not Ctrl (ok, Ctrl-Alt-Del ;)). 1. If you try Windows, you'll notice that Ctl+, Alt+, Shift+, Win+ hotkeys always start with the special key (Ctrl, Alt, Space, Shift, Win). It's a simple UI standard. It's something your fingers learn how to do, not your brain. 2. If you try any of the Adobe products, you'll notice that Ctrl+Space is the key to invoke Zoom tool. (Space+Ctrl also works). So if it's possible for Adobe it will be more than possible for Serif ;). And as much as I like Affinity products, the standard was set by Adobe 30 years ago. Serif's Affinity Designer is a great program, which I use daily, and has already convinced more people to switch to from Illustrator. Serif, let's beat the competition once more!
  3. The major shortcut problem with zoom tool persists. Ctrl+Space does not invoke Zoom tool (Space+Ctrl does, which is unique to Affinity, and very disconcerning)
  4. The major shortcut problem with zoom tool persists. Somehow Designer differenciates between Space+Ctrl (which works) and Ctrl+Space (wich does not). Please, please, please, fix it.
  5. Thanks for the response, MEB. @Jonopen, indeed, AD has very smart way of between Node and Move tool. I feel that it has huge potential, but up to this point I'm not able to use it intuitively (in other words, it's often in the wrong mode for me :) ). If we move away from the damn Adobe paradigm, the whole separation to Move and Node tool is outdated. I can see why it was deemed necessary towards the end of last millenium ;) but I don't think this functionality is reasonable today. That said, imagine the user screams if Affinity were to merge both tools into one, no matter how useful and convenient. Anyway, AD is a great tool - big thanks to the team!
  6. Guides can be dragged by Move Tool, but not by Node Tool. This seems counter-intuitive and inconvenient to me. Also, this limitation is unique to AD. Is it possible to make Node Tool drag the guides too, please?
  7. Guys, anything resembling search year and a half later?
  8. MEB, this is a basic functionality. This should not be done through a workaround. Please, fix it. I understand the reason, but from user perspective it feels like a bug. Every competitor has solved this problem one way or another.
  9. Saving and loading grids would be great. Anything beyond than this would be fantastic.
  10. I hope this feature will be changed soon (it's really scary when parts of your work seemingly disappear). Meanwhile I've found that using artboards is a nice temporary workaround for this behavior - just create an artboard dedicated to being an 'pasteboard'.
