ashf got a reaction from Frozen Death Knight in All Affinity apps combined in only one for 2.0 release? :)
I agree with that we need export persona in Publisher.

ashf reacted to madPXL in All Affinity apps combined in only one for 2.0 release? :)
The export persona is missing on publisher, text frame on designer is very limited (blue background color...). I need to have multiple softwares up to date, multiple assets, brushes, configs and custom shortcuts for each app so that's why I think one Affinity app would be very great. I don't want to constantly switch between softwares, it costs memory and disk spaces.
For small budget, we can think of "volume" to activate like the studio link with limited features, problem solved!

ashf reacted to walt.farrell in BenVista PhotoZoom Pro 7
That's something to discuss with the developers of PZ
Affinity Photo does not support plug-ins that appear in PS under File > Automate.

ashf reacted to Fryd in Wacom-Mouse doesn't work well
Thank you for this hint. No, there was a difference. Designer "input method für tablet" precision was "high", Publisher was "low". I changed it to "low", now everything is fine.

ashf reacted to ToooN in Windows 11 Clipboard Issue
@ashf
Thank you ashf. [Enable the Copy as SVG Option] solves the problem.
In the YouTube video, I wrote "solved" in Japanese, but forgot to write it in English.
@Dan C
Is it really a problem on the Windows11 side?
Why does turning on the "Enable copy as SVG option" fix it?

ashf reacted to Dass in Indian language support
In India most of the publishers are struggling with the Adobe's Cloud Subscription. We want to buy Affinity publisher, but it doesn't support Indic languages.
Please add support for Indic languages, I will buy it with that I will recommend all my friends.
Do you have any time frame or plan for this?

ashf got a reaction from Alex_M in rasterize more than 1 layer
Still the same in 1.10.5. it hasn't been fixed.

ashf reacted to kenmcd in I want to expand language options, ideally trying to publish in English/Hindi/Cebuano, but Hindi more important than Cebuano
Not just ligatures and not easy.
They have to write the shaping engine for Indic scripts (such as Devanagari for Hindi).
Indic scripts are known as complex scripts (compared to "simple" Latin scripts).
So the shaping engine is also far more complex to write.
And there are several OpenType features used in Indic scripts which appear to not be supported right now (akhn, blwf, cjct, dist, half, nukt, rkrf, rphf, vatu), so those would also have to be developed to interact with the shaping engine.
This is all a very big job.

ashf reacted to Alfred in Please force integers on Artboard pixel dimensions
The problem isn’t the naming, it’s the layout of the options and the behaviour that results.
As @kilimanjaro points out, Move by Whole Pixels (MWP) is presented as a sub-item of Force Pixel Alignment (FPA). This means that you have to enable FPA in order to toggle the MWP state, but when MWP is toggled on it overrides its FPA parent.
When an object is aligned to the pixel grid, it doesn’t matter whether FPA or MWP is enabled. As long as one of them is enabled (or both are!) the object will end up aligned to the pixel grid when you move it. When an object isn’t aligned to the pixel grid, FPA and MWP are mutually exclusive, since the former forces alignment to the grid and the latter maintains the existing non-alignment. FPA and MWP should therefore be presented either as radio buttons, along with a third ‘Do Not Constrain’ option, or as checkboxes which can’t both be checked at the same time.

ashf got a reaction from suizenji in I wish Ctrl+Shift+M would bring up the move dialog box like in Illustrator.
Sure, it would be useful.
Same goes to the flip command.

ashf reacted to suizenji in I wish Ctrl+Shift+M would bring up the move dialog box like in Illustrator.
If an object needs to be moved by an angle and distance, it must be calculated in the deformation panel.
For example, if the x and y coordinates are (123, 456) If you need to move 10 mm in 22 degrees, you can put in the Transform panel
X 123*10*cos(22)
y 456-10*sin(22)
If you put in the following, it will calculate it for you, but if you need to move a lot of work, it would be very useful to have a panel appear where you can move it once you specify the distance and angle.
I wish Ctrl+Shift+M would bring up the move dialog box like in Illustrator.

ashf reacted to Leigh in [FAQ] The app's canvas is not white. What's happening?
This is a common issue on Windows and is normally caused by the colour profile (ICC profile) used by your display/device. Colour profiles are normally provided by the manufacturer of your display/device or a third party creator. If your document is showing an off white canvas, it's possible to workaround this issue by changing your display's colour profile to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 but we would recommend that you contact the manufacturer of your display/device or the creator of your specific ICC profile to discuss this issue further.
To do this:
Search for Colour Management from the Start menu and click to open. In the Devices tab, select the correct monitor from the Devices dropdown menu and make sure Use my settings for this device is selected. Now click Add... and select sRGB IEC61966-2.1 from the list and click OK. The sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile should now appear in the Profiles associated with this device: section.
If there is already a profile associated with the monitor, please use the Remove option first, to ensure the monitor is using the newly appointed sRGB profile. Select the profile and click Set as Default Profile to make it the default. Close the Colour Management window and restart your Affinity app. Your canvas should now be in white as expected. If you have multiple monitors attached to your computer, please repeat the steps above by selecting your other monitor(s) from the Device dropdown first.
If you have this issue and are using a Surface Pro 3, please see this post and follow the steps to resolve the issue.

ashf reacted to GarryP in Dimension objects
And here are some others which I posted a few years ago which do the same sort of thing but slightly differently:

ashf got a reaction from Johannes Maragakis in Dimension objects
I created simple dimension objects since Affinity does not have dimension tool yet.
They are a constraint group, you can resize them.

With the character selected, you can use the ‘Toggle Unicode’ command to display the code without having to do a Google (or other) search for it.

yeah, "limit initial zoom to a maximum of 100%" option should be applicable to any situation that the image is zoomed.

ashf reacted to MEB in EXIF photo orientation
My apologies @ashf. You did mention placed images in your report (just checked). Not sure what's going on then. Better wait for Mark Ingram's comments. In any case the bug related to placing images do remain open.
-
ashf reacted to MEB in EXIF photo orientation
Hi @ashf
I believe @Mark Ingram was referring to loading in the other thread, not placing. As you noticed there's a bug report for this thread which deal with placed images specifically and that still remains open in our logs.

ashf reacted to Old Bruce in App location on Mac
Years and years ago when Apple came out with the requirement for all applications to be in the Applications folder I thought the world had ended. I liked organizing things in a sensible manner. I now have a selection of folders in my Documents Folder which have symbolic links (or you can use an alias) to the applications in the Applications folder. I use my links to organize the way I work with applications. I rarely go into the Applications folder.

Currently not possible.
You have to use PDF/SVG instead.
