Try hovering mouse over the abbreviation.

Pšenda got a reaction from Mr. Doodlezz in Anti-AI tools for user created images
But these watermarks only confirm the author of the work, but do nothing to prevent AI technology from exploiting the content of the work for its own (unauthorized) purposes.

Pšenda reacted to NotMyFault in export: are all layers rasterised BEFORE resizing???
I've chosen to step out of this discussion as it got derailed to a personal level. Have a great day.

Pšenda reacted to Amy Halim in Help! Affinity Publisher 2 File Corrupted!
Hi!
Thank you for pointing that out. Definitely the way to go moving forward. I've started saving the file outside out the folder that syncs to iCloud.

Pšenda got a reaction from ReyVersalles in Why is there no Artboard option in affinity Photo like in affinity Designer?
Then the ADesigner application, which offers Artboards support, is far more suitable for you.
It doesn't make much sense for Serif to carry specific features and functions from one application to another, because then those individual applications would be meaningless.

If you’re sketching instead of doing photo manipulation, Designer should be more than adequate. In addition to artboards, it offers a Pixel persona where raster brushes can be used.

Pšenda reacted to Boldlinedesign in Spiral Tool in Affinity Designer
Not really because if you're working on an iPad, you're still very much limited by what Affinity Designer offers in terms of features and tools - you're only gaining mobility of use.
While Vectorstyler does not yet offer an iPad version, I'd much prefer a stable and feature rich desktop-only program like VS than one that has multiple platforms and a limited feature set

Unless you are working on iPad, in which case it is the other way round.

@Komatös Thanks you for advice but I still think it complicates the job more.
Please fix that, Affinity dev team

Pšenda reacted to fde101 in I don't like the new UI design
They are working cross-platform and using native UI frameworks of each platform. Most of these native UI frameworks are optimized to make applications work in a relatively uniform way and to give them a similar appearance, so the ability to "theme" them is extremely limited or non-existent. The options they do provide will generally not be consistent across platforms, which means that options available for customization would either need to be platform-specific, or would be very limited in terms of what could be offered.
Theming in my opinion should not be a feature of any application, but should be something provided for by the underlying platform with its development frameworks.
The fact that most do not is a platform limitation, not an application one.
The fact that Serif is overriding platform conventions to customize appearance in such a way that it makes things more difficult to read for a nontrivial portion of its user base is an application issue.
Granted, but the implication is that this represents a statistically significant portion of the user base. From previous posts the implication by Serif is that the population of the forums represents a tiny fraction of the number of people using their software and that they also collect feedback from other sources. Consider also that it is rare for a large number of users to go out of their way to say that something was done right: the vocal group of users will generally be those that DON'T like something. As a result, the fact that most of the reports are "we don't like this" is generally meaningless unless the number of reports coming in does in fact come close to the size of the total user base, which in this case it does not.
"Voting" that something is bad is unlikely to be as meaningful as is providing solid reasons why something is bad or why it causes problems for you. Some of the users in this thread have done exactly that, but there is generally a much larger number of posts from people who are uselessly saying "me too" or "I don't like this" without adding anything in terms of supporting reasons why it is a bad thing or why it is disliked.
Such posts cause the useful ones to often get lost amidst the chorus of useless ones that simply waste the time of those trying to wade through the thread and can reduce the likelihood of a request being heard, rather than increasing it.
Accordingly, it is better in general to provide support to a request by "liking" the post than by polluting the thread with "me2" or "I don't like this" posts, unless you have something constructive to add to the request.

Pšenda got a reaction from PaulEC in I don't like the new UI design
How about looking for a thread (there are many on the forum) where Serif has already mentioned it? Expecting Serif to state this over and over again here is pretty naive.
The fact that several users (certainly not "hundreds" of them, as you are trying to imply here) repeatedly write some complaints here, is not a relevant criterion for evaluating the quality of the interface and its popularity among "all" users.
P.S. I also don't like the new interface, which is why I have already made many comments and suggestions on the forum.

As they have said before, Serif generally does not comment in threads in the Feedback forum. This area is for us to express our opinions, and for Serif to read and do their planning.

Pšenda reacted to walt.farrell in Where have the page layout icons gone?
If you read the entire thread you'll see they were never there. It's a request to add them, phrased in a very confusing manner.

Pšenda got a reaction from MikeTO in SUGGESTION: easy usage
And this is how it should be - the behavior is understandable for the user and expected under all circumstances.

Pšenda reacted to MikeTO in SUGGESTION: easy usage
On Mac:
If the layer is not selected already, a single click selects it. If the layer is selected already, a single click enters rename mode does nothing A double-click selects the layer and enters rename mode. -
Pšenda reacted to R C-R in Where is the typen panel?
They are not just like a window; they are windows that can be opened & closed, just like any other ... including even the document window(s).

Pšenda reacted to MikeTO in SUGGESTION: easy usage
If it's doing that it's a bug in the Windows version because that's not the way it works on macOS. Clicking anywhere on the layer in the panel on macOS selects it but never starts editing the layer name. I assume the OP must be on Windows if you're experiencing this issue on Windows.

Pšenda got a reaction from walt.farrell in Select same but only on 1 artboard
In Help (see previous link and citation) is explicitly mentioned only "artboards". The fact that the long-existing Edit all Layers button is misused for switching the single artboard vs. all artboard function can be confusing (there should be a other specific "Select all Artboards" button for this), but it doesn't have to mean a design omission.

Pšenda got a reaction from Frozen Death Knight in RTL Arabic language support 2023
From the point of view of the developer of some software, the main point of view is its "marketability" - i.e. the number of buyers, not some number of readers or printers. A high number of readers/printers creates certain assumptions of a high number of potential buyers, but it certainly does not have to be a direct context. Apparently, Serif made an analysis that the cost of development for complete RTL support (and that includes the suspension of work on further improvement of the applications) may not be sufficiently compensated by higher sales.

Pšenda got a reaction from Eddy-2 in Show in separate tab
Isolate layers? (Alt+click in Layers panel. Unfortunately, the isolation is not permanent, which has been requested many times)

Pšenda got a reaction from GRAFKOM in Windows - All Apps - Please consider adding a few icons to Toolbar Customisation for Surface and 2in1 users
Given the long period of "consideration", I wouldn't hold out much hope for it.
