[Affinity Publisher feature requests]

+1 for .idml support (import AND export), especially if a spec has been published.

 

I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseum already, but very few users of this suite will have the luxury of operating in a vaccuum where they do not have to share files with other agencies, service bureaus, and clients. In order to gain traction as an alternative in an Adobe-dominated world, it has to be easy for new users to pick right up where they left off with existing files, and collaborate with other people using Adobe software. It can't be a hassle or a special request for different formats every time files need to be exchanged. It's bad enough if you're on an older version of Creative Suite and have to ask someone to save back from Creative Cloud to an older format just so you can open their files.

Quoting because Jason perfectly summed up the #1 thing I'll need from Publisher.  I've gotta be able to pick up and hand off files with my InDesign-using clients or Publisher can't be a part of my workflow.

 

As long as Publisher will be able to open and export .idml , everything will be rosy!

Add me also as one requesting a vector pattern feature in Designer.

 

This and being able to expand a stroke into a usable amount of anchor points would be the first two features I'd ask for.

[AI format in affinity designer]

To make a long answer short, .ai is owned by Adobe and it isn't possible for Affinity to offer a way to export .ai files. I hope it helps.

 

I'm curious, if this is the case, how come Affinity Photo can export to .psd?

[Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.1.2.22547)]

The beta has a 10-day trial?  Is this correct or do I just ignore that notice that comes up when I launch the beta?

 

I'm slow to pick up new programs--I'll play with it for a few hours and then come back days later.  I'd like to know if I need to get my full impression of the beta within 10 days or not.

 

Thanks--I'm pulling for you guys!  The world is ready for you to succeed!
