[Please add layer's rename keyboard shortcut in menu]

Please add layer's rename keyboard shortcut in menu.

In Photoshop，I'm keen to modify the name of the layer. Affinity Designer didn't can set layer rename keyboard shortcut.

can we add the menu?

[Can't copy text string out of other application]

Like the topic title, Can't copy text string out of other application.

[We need automatically generated UI standard feature]

1: UI Standard

In AffinityDesign, I need use two hours tagging UI standards in everyone UI page.

And In Sketch & Photoshop, use the plugin, Automatically generated UI standard pages just one key.

 

Sketch have plugins:

https://github.com/utom/sketch-measure

https://github.com/tudou527/marketch

 

Demo:

http://utom.design/news/

 

Photoshop have plugin:

http://www.biaonimeia.com/

 

2: slice only iOS

Image in Android is same name, but difference floder.

Export mode is complex and powerful, but I can't use it export Android. we export iOS image, and user other app change image to Android.

 

3: piexl

we get float piexl in center alignment & other layer middle alignment.

 

[Not quick show selected layer in Layers panel]

I am currently unable to launch the program, but I understand there is an option to right click and select "Find in layers panel." Someone here had the same problem.

Wow, thank you, I have not found before!

[Automatic tagging output specification plug-ins]

Let's look at these plug-ins:

Sketch: https://github.com/tudou527/marketch

Photoshop: http://www.biaonimeia.com/

 

This plug-in can reduce the UI designer output to the developer's workflow, it will output an Html file, automatic tagging the size of the layer above, color, size.

Developers use annotations file can be more convenient for development.

Before I use the Affinity is exported as PSD, then use www.biaonimeia.com to output.But I will meet a problem here, textLayer into the Image layer after layer exported as PSD.

So now, for the moment, Affinity workflow, unable to solve the problem of automatic tagging.

Don't know Affinity Team will add this function in this respect.If you want to meet this requirement is not too difficult, personal understanding of the ideas are as follows:

1. The traversal of the layer properties: layer size, position, font color, font type, font size.

2. The reference source sample at https://github.com/tudou527/marketch

3. Generate Html files as attachments.

 

Attachment on one of my use the Sketch automatic output sample: GUIOut.zip

 

I like Affinity Designer, so I put forward its own ideas, hope don't mind.

[Not quick show selected layer in Layers panel]

Photoshop, 当使用Cmd+LeftMouse时, Layers面板会快速显示Artboards中的那个图层.

在Affinity中, 当Artboards和layers非常多的时候, 无法快速在Layers面板中定位当前选中的图层.

 

Photoshop, when using Cmd + LeftMouse, that layer in the Layers panel will display the rapid Artboards.In Affinity, when the Artboards and the layers are very many, unable to quickly locate the currently selected layer in the layers panel.

 

[Gradient tool and Color Picker Tool]

In the Gradient tool during the process of editing, unable to use the Color Picker tool a node with Color alone.Like AI, the Gradient tool in the process of editing, using the Color Picker tool, will only change the Color of the selected Gradient  one point.

[Unity can't read the file format]

Like the image, Unity can't read the Affinity file format.

 

Spine is an extension of Unity tool. I see Affinity support  Spine has been, I am very happy.The PSD file in Unity can preview directly, and is directly used as Texture, Unity will read PSD file preview in final and Texture.And Affinity cannot be identified in the Unity, the Unity of the identification of interface should be open, many software file format Unity can support, for example: Blender/C4D/Photoshop/Maya / 3DsMax, hope Affinity can be identified by the Unity, it can be seamlessly for 3D Texture mapping work.

 

[Continuous Export Selected Image]

As shown in image, if open the Continuous Export Selected options, the Affinity of the manipulation of the process will be delayed, but this feature is very useful.Personal advice, you can give him a hotkey, users need to output the image, a key can be output, at the same time solve the problem of the manipulation of the delay.

 

 

 

[Text in the editing, Cmd+Return Should not be transformation curve]

In the common software, such as Photoshop/Sketch/AI, Cmd + Return is exit the text editing.

My suggestion is that, in the process of text editing, Cmd + Return is exit the text editor.

In the other state, Cmd + Return is transformation curve.

[Color picker can't adjust the height]

Color picker can adjust window width, no window height adjustment:

 

Color picker area is large, can be more easily to choose color:

[Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.5 - Beta 13)]

使用渐变工具, 吸取颜色不能给其中某一个节点吸取颜色, 这使得渐变工具要修改颜色变得不方便.

 

translate.google:
Using the Gradient tool, to which the color can not draw a node to learn colors, which makes the gradient tool to modify the color becomes inconvenient.

[矢量图层和位图的等比缩放]

现在,缩放位图图层是按着Options键,改变大小进行等比缩放.

而缩放矢量图层是按着Shift键,改变大小进行等比缩放.

对于我来说,它们两个都是图层,为什么要用不同的热键执行等比缩放的功能?

 

Google translation:

Now, scaling bitmap layers is pressing Options button to change the size of geometric scaling.

The scaling vector layer is pressing the Shift key, change the size of geometric scaling.

For me, they are both layers, why use a different hotkey to perform geometric scaling function?
