The improvement to the application of dashed strokes is beyond brilliant, it may only be a small change but it is hugely welcome, definitely looking forward to the addition of non-integer value adjustments in a future release but even the simple drag action for setting dash and gap intervals makes this feature so much more intuitive and dramatically improves the workflow for dashed lines and finally allows us to create professional layouts using dashed lines where before, well, you really just couldn't, thank you... 👏

Yes, it should be in both applications in the future :)

Hi, I'm Matt Priestley and I'm one of the Affinity developers. I'll try to help out on any topic, but particularly anything relating to tools, views and document drawing as they're the bits I'm mostly responsible for writing.
 
Feel free to join me and introduce yourself, too! :)

This looks like an issue with SVG output of strokes which have a pressure profile applied to them? (at a guess)
Is it possible for you to select the curves which output incorrectly and choose 'Layer'->'Expand Stroke' from the menu and see if it works properly afterwards? In my tests, it should be working?
I know that's not an ideal solution, but it might be enough to get you sorted for now?
Failing that, if you can attach a part of your design as an .afdesign file here, someone should be able to help.
Thanks!
Matt

Impressed. Works perfect! The fact that create the fills as standalone vector parts is insanely good.

Ah, well, that does explain the confusion 🤣

I can see use cases for both behaviours; one that respects the outlines of the existing shapes, and one that merges adjacent flood fill shapes together. Perhaps a 'merge adjacent', 'combine fills', etc. check-box could be added to the toolbar allowing the user to select the desired flood fill behaviour?

Hi Claudio :)
 
If you go to the View menu and choose Studio->Info then the info panel should appear. Hope that does what you're looking for :)
 
Thanks,
Matt

Hi umut885,
 
We definitely don't want to be crashing - if there's any chance you could attach one of those svg files then we can certainly fix whatever is going wrong there... As for adding hyperlinks... hmmm, we might have to think about it... In an ideal world we'd want to read in attributes and pass them through to the output if they were present - not completely sure about adding hyperlinks within the program, but I'm not against it - just needs some thought :)
 
Thanks,
Matt

Hair is definitely fast becoming my thing (and noted, re the comma - thanks!)

You’re a glutton for punishment with that hair, aren’t you!
By the way, I think the title needs a comma after “Down” (unless someone is being instructed to put the knife “down Sandra”).

New artwork - “Put the Knife Down Sandra.”
Part-inspired by Mia Goth in the closing shot of the horror film “ Pearl”, and part-inspired by the slightly crazed smiles of Nigella Lawson (I love Nigella, but, you know…) comes the lovely Sandra, with her slightly demented 80’s appearance.
Hope you like her!

Thanks MattP.
It seems that it is the right answer for my query, as I checked the same in CorelDRAW.
Further,  I did not get answer for the numbers as color values, when we put same number values, the result changes????
Thanks

If they are root/wheel, those would be from MAS.

...and the answer to your questions, is almost certainly: Colour Profiles!

I've recently saw by random, during some script app parsing under MacOS, that all the ICC profiles inside the installed Affinity apps (APh, ADe, APub) have execution permissions ...

Hopefully this image should clear up the confusion?
 

 
Fold tries to look like it's folded over on a tight corner. Overlap treats each tight corner as though it's the end of one curve and the beginning of another so the pieces overlap. Pull tries to pull the texture around the corner by distorting the areas leading up to it slightly.
 
Hope that helps,
Matt

ACE!

Used a few references and filled spaces in. Could have done more but didn't want to spend any more time on it so it will do.
