eurime got a reaction from ADesigner in It's very frustrating.. years and years and we can't write in Arabic in the program (DESKTOP AND iPad)
I'm going to side with the idea that this indeed a lack of foresight.
Gentlemen, it's in the word "Graphic Design". The core marketing theme of the entire suite is that the suite was made by DESIGNERS.
And what do graphic designers do? They communicate a message through visual representation. It is truly a self-defeating paradox when you profess to understand a segment you're catering to, but offer a product that can't fulfill the most basic requirement - their ability to express themselves in their language. These "DESIGNERS" that "DESIGNERS" are catering to in an era where companies are supposed to champion inclusivity and ease of expression have every right to be offended by it.
And what really salts the wound is the availability of far inferior products who simply take advantage of a few components native to Windows & MAC which makes the ordeal a lot easier. It is, by no means, perfect. But it is there and it's more than usable.
The irony of it all is just depressing - and loving the product is what makes it all the more disheartening.

Just downloaded Affinity Publisher - any plans to support r-to-l in any of your products? I have many clients who need English and Hebrew support and would value having something other than Adobe to make use of.

I second David request. But if you are committed to support RTL (for Hebrew, Persian, Arabic etc.) then DO IT NOW! before it gets too complicated.
It’s like Ginger & Fred. Everything Fred Astaire does, Ginger Rogers does too, but backward (and with high heels)!

I believe some traditional Japanese texts actually run top-to-bottom (a "line" is written as a column) then right-to-left?

To add to this discussion, it's not just RTL support, but also support for complex scripts that's currently missing.
If I paste Hindi into Affinity Publisher, the letters don't appear in the correct order, notably in the word Hindi (हिंदी) itself!
If I type Devanagari k-virama-r, the virama remains visible and the 'k' and 'r' don't combine as they should
However, there is some contextual shape-changing already present: if I type in Arabic bab (باب) = door, the first 'b' correctly changes shape, but incorrecly stays at the left end of the word.
I appreciate there's more work to be done, but as mentioned above, surely it's better to build in support for non-Latin scripts early rather than nail it on later (InDesign) or not at all (Quark).
Good luck

This is absolutely true. There is not only a big need for complex scripts and non-Latin typesetting at the document level, but also at the paragraph and word level as well. It really needs to be considered from the beginning, not as an add-on down the road.

Add to that the need to support RTL page and section order.

Yes, Hebrew in English or German texts is my daily bread – please add Right-to-Left support as soon as possible!

Another request for RTL support. I have that support in Apple Pages and even in Swift Publisher 5 of all places! It's a must for me!

eurime got a reaction from Hobbit1984 in Making Performance Tips Video - Assistance Appreciated
Hi all!
So, in my bid to help the community of Affinity, I'd like to make some videos address certain issues. It's not a perfect product, but there's no shame in trying to help make it perfect :)
I've noticed that with AMD Graphic cards, Affinity will produce some considerable lag spikes during heavy duty work. This was noted on two different workstations out of three. The third housing less ram & processing power in the other, but virtually no issues. But when I changed the Renderer to WARP, (i.e, removed the GPU acceleration), the results were improved.
So this is one performance tip I have (i'm sure others have discovered this but hey! It's still help, right?)
Are there any other performance tips or problems that you've rectified on your end that you'd like to share? Please note that it has to be performance related.
Would like to involve you.

eurime got a reaction from NobleValerian in Software Massive Lag Spikes
HI all,
I should start off by saying I love Affinity. Even while it can be felt that it requires a few enchancements, it's none the less a polished software package. (I have both.)
Secondly, my workstation is quite high-end. 32GB's of RAM. Current generation i7 processor.
Unfortunately, I have experienced some ridiculous lag overtime. So much so, that it seemed if I were to so much as sneeze, I'd have to wait it out.
I've noticed some improvement once I switched the Renderer during the Performance tab from my R9 AMD Card to Warp. A considerable one, but never the less, there are times when the lag spikes just keep coming back.
Has anyone experienced these delays?
Again, I'm not talking about some short intervals expected from a new software. I'm talking about long, almost painful freezes while editing developed raw photos. Sometimes, simply by moving them.
