[Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.6 - Beta 1)]

"We do have prototyping already working behind-the-scenes in the current Designer, but it is disabled while we work through and flesh it out. Hopefully 1.6 will enable this functionality"

I guess we'll have to wait a bit longer? :'( 

[Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.6 - Beta 1)]

Great stuff! Really like the new text/font functionality. 

 

Keep up the great work!

[Using the texttool often crashed Affinity Designer]

Hi, sorry it took so long to reply.

I'm using OS X EL Capitan 13-inch Retina early 2015 2,9GHz Intel i5 8GB Ram.


It seems to happen with all my files, very random. Sometimes I can just work but often even just starting to edit text starts lagging the software.
Even to the point where I just have to wait 10+ seconds for the text to become edited / selected / editable / ...
The text can be in a Text Frame of just on its own, with or without FX. 

And with editing, I mean just the contents of the text, not the color of font, that's all fine but typing / selecting / editing even switching from the type to the select tool while editing text just makes Designer lag and sometimes even crash.

Also it's not related to the font the text it's in, I tried it and regardless of font the same issue continues.

 

[Stop Frame Animation]

This should be a persona! 
But I get it not being in the roadmap, animation is a whole different creature to create a work-enviroment for.
 

[Using the texttool often crashed Affinity Designer]

Hi,

 

A lot of times when I use the texttool Affinity Designer starts getting really slow and sometimes just stops responding.
This almost always happens when I want to change the content of an existing text-object.

Any fixes for this?

[Layout Grid]

Are there plans to add this to 1.6? It would be a great great help in webdesign.

[Edit text content in symbols]

I'd like to see this feature aswel. Indeed using textstyles works but it doesn't feel intuitive. I like textstyles and symbols separated like it is now but the Symbols panel should indeed offer some options to edit text content.

[Editing Embedded Files]

Very much looking forward to that functionality.

[Embedded files change]

Hi,

 

Why should I make a file to later embed in another project when it doesn't reopen this file but creates a copy "<embedded>", this should either change

the native file or there should be a function for me to create an embedded file straight from the main project. Current workflow is weird.

[Developer persona]

​Hi, 

 

My company has started using Affinity Designer on the work floor and it's been great!

 

But it got us thinking that a Developer persona would be very useful, where our developers could just click

sections and get the full html / css structure, code, just a copy paste away from making it into the code.

Maybe allow a view of the flow through the app via arrows so the developer has a good idea of the user-journey through 

the interface. The persona could also be used to view several states of an object, like an input field that returns and error

or a button in a different state. 

 

I think this would tie in nicely with the 1.5 release that made interface work in Affinity so much more attractive and improve

the flow between designers and developers.

 

Thanks for reading.

Fun style

This would be a very welcome feature!

[Animation Persona]

I know this will probably take a lot of work but I'd love a good toolkit to animate my SVG files for the web. 
Icons, ui elements. SVG is becoming a more prominent and important part of webdesign however, it takes way to much time to fine-tune an animation, not to mention the amount of repetitive code for really simple animations. 

 

As proven, you guys know how to make very easy-to-use environment for complex stuff, so I can't imagine how fun it would be to tweak my animations within the Affinity environment. 

Or just an all new piece of software!

Thanks all for the awesome responses!

I think my first attempt to post failed, sorry if I double posted.

I'm looking forward to the symbols tool and a tool to adjust the amount of correction the software applies to your line.
This software is very fun to use, fast and intuitive.

Can't wait for symbols and a tool to adjust the level of correction the software applies to your lines. 
AD feels so intuitive and fast, really fun. Starting to design sites in it as well.

Sorry for the size of the image but hey! Wasn't aware I was zoomed in that much initially. :v

Thats an awesome style! :o
