[affinity suite sdk request]

Well thanks for the update that didn't help. Its fine I will just wait to see if any update concerning this request pops up. Thanks and have a nice day

[affinity suite sdk request]

For over a 1 year plus, I have asked for an sdk or api that will allow developers build plugins or extensions for Affinity. Up till now no reply, what a shame.

Now that the unsplash issue has popped up due to high request, you will need developers to help improve some logic to extend the suite with an alternative and feature support to expand Affinity ecosystem that I believe is growing.

Please any Affinity team member should take this up and lets see how developer can help as you focus on the core performance and features and developer can work on other relevant and non-relevant plugins or features.

[cant login]

hello,

 I noticed an error trying to login on any affinity product that was downloaded from windows.

But if i download affinity product from the web i can login with ease.

how can one resolve this issue.

[Fail to draw on another monitor]

Good day, 

I just noticed when I move Affinity Photo to another monitor screen it fails to draw what ever is on the canvas.

 

i have a triple monitor setup and i get this issue when switch app to another one .

 

[Crash with Crop Tool]

Same here at my end

[Affinity Video Editor?]

Why do people think that Scratch is an NLE? Just because it has a timeline? It's not designed for editing... and ASSIMILATE doesn't advertise it as such, either. It's a great dailies tool, and a phenomenal color grading suite with some pretty powerful 3D compositing tools built in.

 

And Nuke Studio is $10K. For tight budgets, the best bets are HitFilm and Resolve, depending on whether you're more interested in color or more interested in VFX. 

True. i use davinci resolve , it has everything i need for post production. Audio editing still need some work , i do a round trip to studio one and back. but am cool with the software.

Affinity Video editor will be nice still but i dont feel affinity have any plans for it and alot of work when it comes to video processing.

For now the vector and pixel space Affinity has covered it well but still need more works.

I hope to see prototyping in designer and more

[Affinity Plugin creation / API access]

@affinity admin please kindly review this feature...

[Export for web (Slice Tool Feature for web export)]

Am silent here. I have apologized and this was a feature request. I will just have to wait for this feature to be available. Back to PS/AI. Thanks

[Scripting]

Sure, you can have an opinion, and we respect it. But if most people says Python it's best, you can't fight that. For this same issues is why polls and voting systems exist.

I come from bracket and static datatype languages, and when I discovered Python, that opened a world of possibilities for me. For example, I ditched Batch in favor of Python to develop tools to solve my daily life tasks.

Tabs are basic and common in normal text writing anyways, for example, to start a new paragraph.

You can love Lua all you want, but bashing Python over that, it's silly. "Lua is better than Python because I love it". No, it doesn't work that way.

Blender (3D modelling and animation software) uses Python.
Adobe Flash (now Adobe Animate) uses JSFL, a flash port of JSAPI, a Javascript API .
Web browsers use Javascript for their extensions development.

Last words:

It makes sense to have Python as the language to automate Affinity Programs tasks. If not Python, then Javascript. These 2 languages are common among graphic designers that also become frontend developers, because of their simple syntax.

I dream about Python replacing Javascript for the web. I want to know your opinions on this guys!


 

True talk. Am a developer and my strength is in nodejs(javascript/typescript),c++ and c#, I have no preference for scripting. If Serif team choose any other language i will just have to learn it to build my automation or plugin. I hope this happens soon and wish the team all the best on this wonderful product.

[Scripting]

JavaScript is best to use because all os has a built in JavaScript engine and it has a faster adoption. Typescript can also improve coding for the SDK and others.

What ever language Serif team choose will we will learn it but please dont create your own scripting language.

I rather suspect that Matt Priestley, Andy Somerfield, Adam Whitehouse and the other developers might have something to say about not being considered to be part of “the whole team”. And the same goes for other tech support and QA staff besides Gareth, Sean and Miguel.

Sorry for that Affinity team but theirs no @staff handle. I just needed more attention on the topic and i didnt mean to disrespect anyone.

So does this feature look like something we can see in the future and if not i have made a request for a sdk so users and developers can create plugins for affinity products. This will take off some work load off your hands.

[Export for web (Slice Tool Feature for web export)]

Hi,

I will like to see a slice tool feature that will allow me to slice my my designs and create html table.

This will allow me to create html contents from my images/designs and also create hyperlinks.

Where every slice will be a row or column in a table(tr/td). and each section of the slice can hold a hyperlink and more. 

It will now introduce export for web, which will create a html file with an inline css export to use for development.

This will stop me from switching apps and will take AD/AP/Publisher to the next level to support web and see a good feature  to support ux/ui design in prototyping

And maybe later add a responsive feature to the slices made.

Thanks

Affinity team Please look at this.

[Feature Request – Plugins]

true 

I created this post to get users to vote for features like this

 

[REST API for Affinity Designer to automate things]

Move to this post to really explain what some users might need

[Feature Request: Chart tool]

Hi Affinity team and users,

Am really have to be part of this amazing evolution of the fast rising affinity suites.

But to be really happy and proud, I will like to see a chart tool which will allow users to draw chart of all sorts.

This will help us to really create infographs.

Please also make it available to Affinity designer and publisher.

Thanks and i hope to see it soon.

[Affinity Plugin creation / API access]

Good day,

I will like to add this suggestion to the team of affinity developers. Can you guys give users access to an api or sdk so we can create plugins just for affinity. If this is made available to users, affinity will get more market ground at pull more creators, companies, freelance developers and school to the affinity products.

I teach in a American University of Nigeria, and am pulling my students from adobe to affinity.

Many have been asking for plugins and Ux related stuffs. I have ideas of plugins that will help UX designers to move to AD.

Please answer this request.

Thanks and have a wonderful day.

[table of content]

Good day,

I will like to say am proud to be an affinity user and happy to have found a better alternative to some adobe product.

Coming to the issue i noticed .

The table of content always crashes when i try to change the separator.

I know its a beta version and hope to see a fix in the next release.

I wish you guys all the best in making publisher stable 

Safe.

[Template creator]

Hi,

I will like AD and AP to allow users to be able to create template for their future projects.

Sample:

One needs to create a brochure than the user to start doing some calculations and settings 

everytime, they do it once, safe and call it faster. 

 

Yes macro can to that but a simple template system will be fine and gives a better User experience around the app

[Feature request: UX export]

I will like to suggest a UX exporter feature.

With this UX designers can export their design with dimensions, color template and font used 

for the design.

With this designers can send there designs to the programmer to design the interface then start on the logic later.

This feature will also export to different styling format like

CSS, XML, html and other code UI formats.

Please also look at the API or SDK for affinity products request.

 

[Developer sdk or api system for affinity]

i will like to see a sdk or api system which will allow developer make plugins and hack for affinity products.

 

i believe with this feature affinity products and awareness will grow faster and also we will see some amazing stuffs from user.

 

please consider this so i can build some amazing stuff for prototyping .
