Are you referring to the iPad version (I didn't know you could do ctrl-a)?

kill this double post

Just downloaded and installed it, wondered if I was missing where you put a way to divide a text frame into more than one column? Or are you going with having to place every text frame manually, ie, 2 separate frames on the same page?

It wouldn't be quite so annoying if it was more consistent in how it placed them in layers, as is, it doesn't seem to respect when I pick THIS layer. It may or may not start placing them outside that layer if I don't follow some arcane series of actions that it wants me to. In Adobe Illustrator, when I select a layer, that is the layer it does EVERYTHING in until I change it. Affinity's groups are more troublesome by far.

Started trying to use Designer, is there any way to streamline how it floods my layers with shapes? I can group them, but there’s a whole sequence of taps till I am sure that the shapes I am making (lines, etc) are going to go in the group I want... Barely 30 seconds in and I usually have dozens of separate items that I have to drag into a group, which then promptly opens to show all the contents, then I have to tap the group again to close it, drag the newest shapes into it, repeat. Very tedious. Can I somehow just say, “put the damn things on the layer I assign and stop bugging me about it?”

I absolutely agree, the whole thing where an additional bar appears on double finger tap and you then have to select an additional option to undo is, frankly, stupid. How would you feel if you went to copy/paste CTRL-C/CTRL-V on a Windows machine and instead of just copying and pasting, after hitting CTRL-C a menu popped up which spanned the screen horizontally. You then had to move the mouse and click COPY, then after hitting CTRL-V a menu popped up which spanned the screen horizontally. You then had to move the mouse and click PASTE. Getting the idea why interposing additional menus is not nearly as seamless as just double finger tap undo? To me this is like asking McDonalds why they don't fire cook hamburgers like Burger King, the response is, "..oh they do it that way so we can't."

Is there ANY WAY you can add a simple feature to lock the darn thing (bottom toolbar). I can hardly bring myself to draw now that I keep expecting to trigger the color wheel or alpha protect button. Surely a simple lock toggle for the toolbar is not beyond the Dev team's programming skills? Tried turning on the touch/gesture thing and it STILL goes off sometimes when my palm is right there to draw on the screen. No joy.

Has anyone figured out how to clear the contents of a layer, while keeping the layer itself with all the settings intact?

I do have Autodesk Sketchbook, but not Sketch.

Thanks, as for 2, I don't want to delete the layer, just want to clear the contents on the screen, and keep the different things I had done to it, like Multiply modifier, and so forth... and yes I am on the iPad.. heh

Also on a related note: no simple way to clear a layer? Please tell me these things are just buried somewhere in the interface?

Why on Gods green earth do you not have a doubletap to undo? Also, how do you DESELECT a selection? Been tearing my hair out, and can't find it in the instructions... Tried the arrow key but that only moves selections...

Let me know if it didn't attach, the interface is a little confusing.. will it let me finalize the reply if the file I attached didnt finish uploading? Won't let me upload it so here is a google drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5rfi2kS241kWHM0dzJFRGpZdnc/view?usp=sharing

Absolutely, attaching it.

Where is this Pixel Persona in Affinity Photo? Trying to get some imported brushes to work right, saw this referenced in another post, but can't find it.. not sure if that person was talking about Photo....\

I tried to import some abr brushes from an artist named Sparth. They didn't come in looking at all like they did in photoshop.. almost all the brushes look like small images but in Affinity they are all stretched out. What is the process for bringing them in correctly? While searching for an answer I saw a post where someone said if they were raster, you had to use pixel persona... I have no idea how to turn that on, or if it even applies to the iPad affinity photo app.
