@MattP Is it also possible to work in applying a contour gradient to shapes created with this tool or any of the shape tools.? Example attached like Freehand did it.

LOL Thanks for replying. I will probably do a few more. If I decide to tackle Unicron that one will take awhile.

As a kid I would watch my fav shows frame by frame learning to animate. I recreated one of my fav scenes from Transformers the Movie. Only the clouds are pixel persona.

Plugins esp for Affinity Designer would be great. 3rd Parties could develop features that are missing.

LOL. I think a lot of the comments are for the windows beta. Folks were posting how expand stroke is now fixed. I am happy it is finally fixed for MAC.

Not at all I just said I don't want a rush job and obvious that's not what they are doing. The windows version had a ton of bug fixes and Serif felt it was enough to bump it to ver 1.8

LOL. Yes patience is def needed. I don't want some rush job just because we all want new goodies and we end up with a version worse than the previous.

Tick tock. On Twitter I asked about the Mac BETA. Its coming but no ETA.

@MEB any info of when a beta of 1.8 will be out? Weeks, months?

The dev's have mentioned beta version 1.8 and showing the results of the expand stroke fix. I wonder when that will make it down to the rest of us? Just have to wait.

@Busenitz it was locked last week. Looks like it was deleted because one person was accusing Affinity of lying. It was getting kind of heated. Affinity developer MattP had posted in there going back and forth with this one person and had mentioned he was working on ver 1.8 testing the expand stroke with a comparison screenshot.

The latest update I saw in the forums here is it's being worked on for Beta 1.8. There were examples posted of the improvement.

This would be nice like Freehand MX had. Countour gradients where the colors follow the shape of the object. When Affinity does implement these type of gradients I hope they make them work correctly with printing..lol Illustrators gradients mesh and new freeform gradients have huge color shift issues when switching color modes.

Expand stroke is being worked on as we speak. the discussion is in this thead.

On the forum here and twitter the team says they are working on fixing this now that all the 1.7 updates are out of the way.

@MEB Thanks for the update. Hopefully, this fix is on the top of the list.

I got a response today on the Affinity Facebook page about the expand stroke issues. The response was "it's something our developers are still actively looking into."

I think it might be in the Feature Request discussion but the expand stroke bug is on the radar Affinity responded. I just hope they squeeze it in for 1.7.

Check out the updated beta. 1.7.0.7. I think this is fixed. I don't have this issue on Mac OS 10.14.2

Also it would be nice when double clicking on a guide the Guides manager popped up as well as a keyboard shortcut. This was handy on FreeHand.

I am also a fireworks user. would love to be able to just quickly select parts of objects and have a drop down of.. hard edge anti aliasing feather
