    I'm an art director at Worthwhile (Worthwhile.com) and designer with a love for lettering and illustration. I love Jesus, my wife, and family. I dabble a bit in front-end web development. I love participating in my local church, watching a good British drama, collecting music, or enjoying a great book with a cup of tea.

  1. Just getting around to checking on this because I'm also using GFS and seem to have several large branding files that got corrupted with the same issue. Subscribing here to see if in the future there's any discovered fixes. For now to be safe I'm guessing a better practice is to work off the desktop and copy up new versions to cloud storage? I tried copying the files down locally after I started having some issues to see if it was a connection hiccup based on file size instead of actual corruption but it does seem inherent in the file now.
  2. +1 for list view option/categorizing/sort of symbols. For lots of symbols, a quick-search box inset in the panel would also be great (same for Layers panel).
  3. +1 (or more) to this. It's my most-used shortcut in Sketch and Protopie (my fav prototyping app) recently added it as an option by hitting Enter. But at least adding a menu option so we can map a shortcut to this would be amazing.
  4. Hey guys, at long last I'm happy to share that my beginner course Affinity Designer Fundamentals is live at Pluralsight! It covers the nuts and bolts of everything from customizing settings to typesetting and image adjustments. You can sign up for a free trial if you're not a Pluralsight subscriber. If you enjoy it, feel free to share!
  5. Expand stroke does look much more promising! At the moment I'm having a strange issue with a larger-ish file (216mb) hanging when attempting to open. It seems permanently stuck saying "Loading 1 document" and I can only quit the app by Force Quitting. Doesn't seem to be affecting my other files though, so possibly my file is damaged somehow (hope not). I might can share it privately for inspection by devs.
  6. I don't have a ton of knowledge of underlying architecture differences, but it seems highly unlikely that Affinity will support Sketch format or will achieve perfect PSD compatibility. Overall I feel like Affinity's UI workflow is pretty strong, and the biggest leg up there will be opening up some kind of extension framework similar to Sketch and allowing shared libraries/symbol syncing, which is the big request a ton of designers currently have for Sketch as well. What's made Sketch incredibly popular is not just its core featureset but the huge amount of community plugins that add a ton of speed to the design process. That would likely make it a bit easier for third parties to support things like inspector tools for dev handoff, etc. With sufficient growth in the Affinity user base, Zeplin has indicated they'd be interested in adding Affinity support.
  7. Occasionally with the MAS version and the beta I'm having a bug where the shear and scale options in the Character panel will have only the icon show, and no input is available.
  8. Any chance we'll get an option to export Develop Persona Studio Presets for backup purposes, or to move from Betas to MAS installs?
  9. Just a bump to this, wondering if any other UI designers have thoughts on it as well.
  10. I don't necessarily want/need a pattern creator tool, but I really would like a more adjustable raster pattern fill option. That would be quite helpful for web design.
  11. Matt, sorry, I think I just missed that I had "subtract" mode turned on for my main marquee selection. Silly me, again.
  12. This newest beta suddenly won't let me make any raster marquee selections at all. I open up the same file in the MAS version and selections work fine. :| Just me?
