panels would also be a great choice, true

that would be awesome. the only thing that would make it even more awesome would be if affinity design would have instead have an easily readable format so that my script could easily mess with the fun (I for example implement different color schemes in my SVG logo by relacing the id of the fill of some parts with a placeholder which the script then properly fills out depending on what I throw as parameters. but not gonna happen for a piece of proprietary software.

one small "problem" of affinity is that even though the files are generally vectors, you cant easily export them down to SVG because a ton of effects are either not yet implemented in the SVG export tool of affinity or flat out not possible in SVG. so one thing that would be awesome would be a simple export tool which should also be possible to be invoked from the command line, so you can easily whip out something at any size you want without too much prepararion (except for stripping the thing down as this shouldnt be a full-fledged export persona) I for example have a PHP script which iust kicks open inkscape to scale some SVGs I made earlier to any size I want for example to simplify the work and not having to export every size at its own while at the same time maintaining compatibility (complex SVGs may take a considerable amount of computation and some SVG engines flat out suck.

and maybe rename the studio to "tools" or whatever, because honestly studio sounds kinda obscure,

well that's no surprise these things are often seriously long and complicated and it gets worse if they are not written in your language and we have gotten quite used to just clicking okay. there really should be in general everywhere a short and easy to understand outline that explains everything important without all the complex legal wording and stuff

it's also written here by the way: https://affinity.store/en-gb/help/

well not too wrong but well at the very least personally I'd like a little touch of color, you dont have to go full saturation anyway and you could for example if you use the light UI (in case the room is really bright that seems kinda easier to use at least for me) with a very light touch of a color you like or whatever, and it isnt like everyone gets forced to use it, same with the light UI, it is added but nobody has to use it.

oh I see I kinda thought it was related the symbol becoming desynced without me turning sync off. which happened before but is seemingly something I cant replicate anymore (maybe th update to 1.5.2 or 1.5.3 fixed it

since the search doesnt work for these key words I am just opening a new one. Instead of just setting dark/light and a gamma, wouldnt it be awesome to just set any color you like and use that for the UI.

well whatever their more or less annoying reason it put me off from buying this for myself for now (I am riding on the License of my boss who purchased it for the company but with just me using it (well there's only me and my boss and my boss couldnt even use it if she wanted to, due to knowledge) it is no problem to use it both at work and at home. since I control, own or use all the related machines.) the 40€ sale back when we bought it was long story short awesome, but I didnt have any money left at that time.

I just found something both intresting and seriously annoying. when I have a symbol and throw an instance, the layer shows a tooltop with unlinked attributes: constraints, transform. the symbol simply said just has 2 layers: a text layer, and another text layer with exactly the same text, font etc but in a different color and a Gauss Blur. anyone have an Idea why this thing has unlinked attributes? sync button is active obviously.

To Start off. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH EXPORTING IMAGES OR THE EXPORT PERSONA AT ALL. well to the actual Request: sometimes you worl with affinity on multiple Devices (or you just use the beta) and you dont want to do all the changes everywhere but it's kinda annoying precisely setting this stuff up. and that's not all. maybe you someday have to re-install you computer and set up everything again, not really a funny activity. so my point is you should be able to export your settings so you can import them at any time, anywhere, for any reason.

well they would complain but that's the Apple store (or pretty much any other big store handling this stuff). and 30% cuts isnt enough for them as far as I remember a dev also has to pay a yearly fee or whatever to do anything. selling the software directly on the website for mac as well would also allow them to choose their price freely. apple's sudden increase of the Euro prices is not really funny in my opinion, last time I checked the US Dollar was lower in value than the Euro so already 1:1ing the prices was annyoing enough.

sorry. @ mods, you can remove this.

okay, I dont have any Idea on what apple is doing. and I certainly dont see whether or not you changed the US price from here without checking it explicitly, so well. but I think the same price as mac is slightly unfair to windows people because the affinity store doesnt send 30% into oblivion.

it's listed as "Schmal" which works for Light but not in this case, It's "slim" in English. I would use "Hell" Instead.

well they would for example need to get some DRM working to get this working properly.

@Alfred thanks for the Info. especially considering you guys raised the price to 55€ recently this thing is really in need of a sale in my opinion.

well tying the user account to an online account is a feature that I despised on my windows 8. and I was glad that you can run the store by just using the MS account for the store without tying any accounts to my User account directly.

the self-replace update doesnt have anything to do with the windows store or anything, and both chrome and opera run on Windows 7. it is just a better way of updating the thing without having to rely on pretty much any store or other stuff.

I know that itunes is coming but a problem of the win store (as of most other stores) is that you need an account of the store and that the store is relatively unflexible in the usage conditions. I dunno how many device the win store lets you use with stuff you purchase there but affinity has a quite dynamic usage license, where you can use it on as many computers as you own, for example and it also allows shared usage on certain conditions, I dunno how the win store will do anything related to that. Are Windows apps limited to only the installing user or can it also be installed for everyone? and @R-C-R this replace yourself thing is kinda what I saw from chrome and opera and thought it was intresting because you dont have to do the update actively and wait but essentially the update occurs in background and on the next start, the update is in.

well winstore is w10 only which is a problem but affinity could also handle this in background, if it would (upon confirmation) Download the update and when close or restart it will replace itself with the downloaded update

not a very good Idea. The point of affinity designer is the vector environment meaning you can scale this thing without problems up to infinity if you like, and since good .ico files usually have multiple sizes, using a raster image isnt well, the best Idea. if you can just let the export persona deal with the scaling for the ico files, that would be long story short, awesome.

honestly I have tried to replicate that stuff myself without success yet, so I just gave up and went for plan B ( cut and pasting the dashed object layers out and back in. ) If I find something I'll try to remember telling you guys. thx4help anyway.

oh I see, I always tried hovering the stripe itself.
