ashf got a reaction from telemax in Toggle key between Brush and Eraser
Would be nice if you could add toggle key to switch between brush and eraser. (not B/E but single key to switch)
I was asked this functionality from artists who use Affinity as painting tool many times.

ashf reacted to Joachim_L in Toggle key between Brush and Eraser
Yes, you can. You have to adapt the keyboard shortcuts for Photo >> Tools. But there are several tools assigned to key B and E, so you have to reduce them to Paint Brush and Erase Brush Tool only to get a toggle (I think, never tested completely).

ashf got a reaction from gio in Fill layer compatibility on psd import
I suppose you already have a plan to improve this compatibility but I post this just in case.
Raster layer mask of fill layer(solid color layer) created in Photoshop become transparency instead of a mask in Affinity.
Masks should be preserved as a mask if possible like on pixel layers.

ashf got a reaction from ra.skill in Affinity Designer: measure line/path length
L isn't shown if the selected object is not a straight line.

ashf reacted to loukash in Bug: Divide form by open paths
A brilliant and fast workaround provided by courtesy of @Roqoco via https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/133354-composite-curves/&do=findComment&comment=734915
Taking my above example again – a closed object to be divided by several crossing open paths:
select all open paths and change stroke width to 0.001 pt
(smaller values are possible but that might later add redundant nodes)
(you may need to change Preferences > User Interface > Decimal Places > Points: "3" to actually see the value, otherwise the stroke width field will display "0 pt") Layer > Expand Stroke(s) boolean Add
(optional to make the expanded strokes a single object for easy cleanup) add the closed form at the bottom to selection boolean Subtract
(optional to get rid of the strokes right away) boolean Divide voilà, done in less than 30 seconds Note that there will be a tiny gap between the divided objects. But keep in mind that it's mere 0.35 µm! That's about twice the size of a Corona virus…
In other words, I have to zoom in at 75000% to actually see it as two lines in Outline Mode on my non-retina display…

ashf reacted to Mark Ingram in Print document crashes Designer and Publisher 1.9.0
Thanks for the report. Just to let you know I've just fixed the issue, and will put the fix into a beta release shortly if you would like to test it out.

ashf got a reaction from Pauls in Suggestions for Japanese UI
Why the translation of "View" menu changed from 表示 to ビュー?
Adobe uses 表示, so previous translation was better.

ハードウェア高速化 would be more suitable for translation of "Hardware Acceleration" in the Performance setting.

ashf got a reaction from Pauls in Suggestions for Japanese UI
For the "Astrophotography" filter group in AP,
天体写真 is proper translation.
-
ashf got a reaction from Pauls in Suggestions for Japanese UI
On Mac, the translation of "Fill:" is cut off.(Move tool)
It supposed to be "塗りつぶし:", not "塗りつぶ"
Or 塗り might be better for the translation of "Fill" since Adobe uses Fill = 塗り、Stroke = 線

"Register your app" panel on startup,
再度表示しない is proper translation for the "Don't show me again" button.

ashf got a reaction from Pauls in Suggestions for Japanese UI
Would you please fix this already?
This is the most confusing message that has been around since a long time ago.

ashf got a reaction from Aammppaa in [AD 1.7.0.367] Effects are different after pasting FX!!
Still the same in 1.9.

ashf got a reaction from ra.skill in Affinity Designer: measure line/path length
L is for length.
This works only for straight lines, doesn't work for curved lines.
-
ashf got a reaction from affinityfan in Convert layers or groups into a embedded document
Agree.
Currently Publisher can convert a pixel layer to an image layer(embedded image)
I assume Serif will expand this functionality to all layer type in future release.

ashf got a reaction from APW-Design in Antialias gap on export with raster format
I know seeing antialias gap between attached objects on editing screen is normal.
But at least I would like you to improve gap problem on export with raster format such as PNG/JPG.
(Without aligning to pixel grid, aligning to pixel grid won't work for tile pattern design/symbol sometimes)
Adobe IIlustrator has no gap on both editing screen and exported raster file.
What kind of magic they have?

ashf got a reaction from Patrick Connor in Group layer's blending mode become Normal in PSD
Still the same in 1.9.

ashf reacted to Tengis in Traditional Mongolian Support
你好,我叫 Tengis,是中国、内蒙古自治区的一个字体设计师。我的主要字体设计方向是传统蒙古文。传统蒙古文是左至右、上至下方向的文字,所以在排长文章的时候字体都会用 Mirror 版本,然后将文本框反转……
我在使用 Affinity Publisher 时觉得很舒适。已经帮到我很多,如果能有进一步的传统蒙古文方面的支持的话,我觉得会很酷。如果你们愿意做这样的更新,我愿意参与。

ashf got a reaction from Great Big Bite in Feature Request - Alpha Channels (AGAIN!)
Also please let us create a selection by cmd/ctrl clicking a channel.
Right clicking a channel to create a selection is awkward.
-
ashf got a reaction from NonstickRon in Connecting nodes (drawing path between nodes)
Would be nice if I cloud connect certain nodes I selected without snapping them each other.
A problem with "Join Curve" action of Node tool is that it connects nearest combination of nodes automatically, so I can not choose which combination.
UPDATE: this has been improved in v1.8. now you can connect nodes you selected.

+1
And vector based one please, unlike Photo's Perspective/Mesh Warp.
Of course implementing it to Photo also would be nice.

ashf got a reaction from nodeus in Vector crop tool and opacity bug
Vector crop tool on an image that's not 100% opacity look strange.
It become different opacity though opacity value is the same.

ashf got a reaction from Brinomi in Does Affinity offer export to pdf/x-1a:2001?
That's sad.
As you see many major printers still require 2001. they are living in the past.
And they may keep using 2001 till the end of the world.
