Maybe in long term the fields should be added.
But for now i think the User variables that are possible, should be shared or visible in all slices.
So when you edit the value or name it changes in all slices. And maybe add the User variables in the Path component to make Custom shared paths as well.
When you export custom maps you could make the RGB and CMYK or whatever separate folder you need for the same type of slices.

The fields tab from publisher wold perfectly fit in the export persona. Manny possabilities to save files with custom fields that change in one place.

I would highly recommend to add File location in the path components. This would save a lot of time searching and going to the location where you want to export the files.
When working on more projects at once you constantly need to find the export location where you file is that you are working on.
I think the icons are odd/blury in the 2.0 version.
The icons need to be crispier like in Publisher.
Thank you.

Thenks for the fix of bleed not showing with live filters. Has been bugging me a long time. 😸
-
Thanks for this new feature.
-
This simple feature would be very welcome for the workflow in AF Designer.
I think it would not be so difficult to add the feature, since the field already exists in AF Publisher.
Thank you.

I've added a shortcut to hide left or right side of panels. I hide them with CTRL+LEFT or RIGHT arrow key.
-
This should be fixed for the Point Transform Tool too. The Corner Tool is also ignored.
-
When working on a long document with 50+ pages, it would be good to have some sort of mark/indication and comment/notes option.
Mark to mark a page as finished with green color or for some other workflow.
Note/comment to keep yourself organized.
And maybe some other features that i cannot think of right now.
Made a mockup to show what i mean.
Thank you.

Don't know if possible. I would add an override Contour tool possibility to the Scale Override function. So it can scale with the object when resized. For now it stays the same contour distance.
Thank you.

Don't know how this happened, but some guidelines cant be deleted and cant be seen until dragging a selection.
Am attaching the file and a screen shot so you can see what I'm talking about.
If you select artboards with drag select, the guidelines appear. They are not visible in the Guidelines Menu.
Hope I can explain or show in video the proces how to make them visible in the menu.
Im useing Shift+WINkey+S for selecting screen shot.
The draged screen shot must be taken outside of the area where the art board are, all the way to the panel.
I am on windows 10, AD 2.1.

I see. So its only not working in this top menu.
I've tried the color and swatches panel and it works there.
Thank you for the info.

I don't know if its a bug or by design.
in attached image you can see the Global spot colors.
If they are used in a gradient fill, you cant change their opacity.
Global colors are ok.
-
Its not about function.
My thougt was on the UI design.
The space betwean icons is missing and the lines are not clear or to thick.
The Publisher icons are for comparrison how I think it should be.
-
Don't know but these icons don't seem right.
Don't know if their a different design or the size is off.
The icons should be looking more like ones in publisher.
I think the *Requires restart needs some space on the right side.

Affinity products are great. The best thing for me is the workflow you can have and that the adobe products lack badly for me.
Affinity is young and things will come in time.
The tools that are not present in designer I can find them in other software that is free. Incscape for image trace and edit shape. And copy paste is all you need betwean the programmes. For creating patterns you can use the Cavlary app for animations that is more or less free.
The tools are usualy only that powerfull as the person that uses it. If you need a hammer and dont have one, use a wrench insted. How many cars would a mechanic fix if he complained over every russted bolt and wait for the car industrie to start makeing them in stainless so that the problem would be solved.

Hi Rondem,
I don't believe that this is a bug. I had the same problem when I started using it but after seeing a demo form Serif's channel, I was able to get it to work.
I haven't been able to replicate your issue when I follow a specific workflow. From what I understand, adjusting the Optical Alignment in the character panel can be useful if you only need to adjust only certain sentences in your document without affecting the global style by design. Its also very useful since fonts can differ in their design characteristics.
I follow a specific workflow based on a video demo and what the manual states, and it seems to work as designed. In your case for right alignment you must also first make certain that your text is set to right align or justified, whatever your intention is. After that is done, you must highlight the punctuation character first before you can see any changes made while making the adjustment. As you increase the numbers you will see the changes happening live. Of course you can update your existing style globally as an option.
An excerpt from the manual states that you need to select the character . . .
Source: Optical alignment (affinity.help)
There is an excellent demo of this in action.
Source: Affinity Publisher channel YouTube
Video title:
Affinity Publisher - Characters: Optical AlignmentThe bug is that you cant enter more than 100% when you edit text styles. But can in the character panel. The only way you can edit that valeu above 100% is by changeing some text and updateing text style and you can see that the value can be bove 100% but it cant be enterd manually.
-
Cant change the value above 100% in Edit Text Style/Optical Alignment.
In Character panel it can be changed above 100% as shown in the image.
120% can be added only by Updateing the text style from selected text frame.

Hope soon some progress on this feature. I as well need this for annual reports that i make.
But we will do the workarounds till than.

Styles Panel - Improvements
in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Posted
Haven't found any topic on this.
Is there any plans improving the Styles Panel similar to Text Style or Table formats and adding features like:
- adding the option to edit the styles,
- option to update the style by current selection,
- ability to apply the style to selected group (only possible to apply to object but not the group),
- maybe add a current document category,
This would improve the linked editing capability of all shapes with the same style. For instance it would change the curve width or color of all shapes sharing the style. For instance if there are a lot of icons. Now you need to select individual icons in the publisher document and change them one by one.
Thank you for any info.
