Support typesetting for CJK text
ashf replied to lynzrand's topic in Feedback for the V1 Affinity Suite of Products
@lynzrandok, probably tag editing is disabled on old topics. -
Please add an option to control eps format. AD rasterize all objects with gradient & transparency. PostScript level 3 is compatible with gradient, Illustrator or even Inkscape can export eps with gradient without rasterzing it. Also Illustrator can export objects with transparency as divided shapes instead of rasterizing it. Refer Illustrator's option panel

Even if I enable this, copy&paste act like it's disabled. on Mac, I can paste SVG code to a text editor.

Japanese Vertical Text
ashf replied to Pedro Dias's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Long time ago, QuarkXpress was selling specialized version for Japanese and it costs three times as much as the original version. Nevertheless, QuarkXpress was dominating the market at that time. If Aisan language implementation is such burden for you, you can develop specialized version like that. Even if you double the price for it, people will be willing to buy it. Still much cheaper than InDesign or QuarkXPress. -
Japanese Vertical Text
ashf replied to Pedro Dias's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
FYI, almost 100% of paper media and publications are in vertical text format in Japan. So without vertical text support, Affinity Suite will be useless as a tool for them. Thus Adobe is dominating the market, they support vertical text perfectly. -
fyi, a webpage created with a software(especially visual builders) is not maintainable in most of case since they have particular logic and html structure for itself that's not compatible with other software. This includes Dream Weaver. So the only way to make them 100% maintainable is to use a code editor. Otherwise those pages you created with something will be broken on a new software, or it's easier to just recreate them with a new software. That's one thing I'm sure in my experience as I've been a web developer for more than 20 years.

For a LightRoom alternative, PhotoDirector is one of choice. Available on both Mac/Windows. https://www.cyberlink.com/products/photodirector-photo-editing-software/features_en_US.html

Maybe media/file browser instead of DAM. Like Adobe Bridge. Currently it's little awkward to find and open them in Affinity. I can use 3rd party one such as XnView for now. But would be nice to have media/file browser with tight integration with Affinity Suite on both Mac/Windows.
-
This is not request for Affinity Suite itself but compatibility with 3rd party software. XnView is one of most popular image browser and it's free. It's faster than Adobe Bridge and has more features. So I would like you to communicate with them and help them to add Affinity file format support to XnView MP.

Adobe Illustrator unifies multiple shapes that is identical(Symbol) into single data when export SVG. This makes SVG a lot smaller. Would be nice if you could implement this. Also an option for simplifying shapes will be useful like SVGO's Precision option or AI's Decimal option.

Pixelmator can import/export PSD with editable text layer for example. -

@AlfredOk... Then this needs to be improved. -

Problem is that even text layer in PSD created by Affinity will be loaded as pixel. This happens even if import PSD text as editable text option in Preferences is enabled. -
Missing Asian Punctuation Support
ashf replied to loyukfai's topic in [ARCHIVE] Publisher beta on macOS threads
@loyukfaiYou can add the tag by yourself under the topic title. It seems Asian typography feature has lower priority on Serif's roadmap. But people more than in Europe and America is waiting for Affinity as Adobe alternative. Only these typography feature is the bottleneck as you mentioned. -
