Layer effects not sticking
Paul Mudditt replied to Chaya's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
When using FX because often you use multiple FX at the same time having to confirm each one would be a pain. All you have to do is select one of the other FX to lock in the previous until you return to it. Double click on the FX to bring back the context bar and adjust as necessary, remembering to tap on another location on the FX bar to lock it in. EDB26EBE-40D5-4D0D-92AB-75B52B220936.MP4 -
Number of duplicated
Paul Mudditt replied to Angelos58's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
I have the Smart Keyboard why don’t they just implement ^J on it -
All samples loaded ok on my original 9.7” iPad Pro running IOS 12.3 beta Alfred. Overall very much like the new features, seen a slow down at one point but ok after restarting app. New document screen still has artboard icon but not text even though artboards are not supported. Also my pet hate, the colour studio colour picker problem when using Apple Pencil persists, once defect triggered after working ok for a few minutes it still stops working showing the black ring, works ok when using finger as usual. Question, I forget, where do we report bugs again, via TestFlight or here?

Slice Export not working for me
Paul Mudditt replied to avataraustin's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Pay special attention to my screen recording, I am exporting to my slices folder, note how I “select” the folder from below then press “open”. Do NOT browse into the slices folder. It is not an intuitive step. B791D0D2-BE71-48AB-B10D-4A3083C85B22.MP4 -
Pattern fill
Paul Mudditt replied to Angelos58's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
As gdenby points out and the you tube video points out it’s all about alignment and positioning to ensure accurate repeat. -

Making a pixel selection from a curve
Paul Mudditt replied to LionelD's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Just make sure you have correct layer selected, that’s the mistake I occasionally make wondering why there was no snap to edges working. In this case a curve has a nice edge which snap to edges has no problem with so long as I remember to select the curve layer not the image layer when making the selection. In my test I gave the curve a nice red fill since its sole purpose is to make the selection and I found that makes the snap to edge work very well. -
Making a pixel selection from a curve
Paul Mudditt replied to LionelD's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Yes that’s what I was going to suggest too with snap to edges selected, it’s a decent work around. Another option is to get Photo as well since your afdesign file will open in photo too and vice versa, it’s very good value! -
Repeating same absolute value
Paul Mudditt replied to Angelos58's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
If it's any conciliation this works the same weird way on the desktop version so perhaps it's not a bug. -

Paul Mudditt replied to Angelos58's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
The lines power duplicate worked ok for me but I’m shocked about the concentric rings not working, very clearly a bug. CE1BD45F-8EE0-4FAB-89A4-F4A64440F9DC.MP4 2196E35A-6209-4721-B2B8-CC47EDCC45DE.MOV -
Selecting colors
Paul Mudditt replied to jmcbade's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Thanks Alfred, just got so used to getting the numerical pop up by tapping the number on other screens hadn’t tried anything else. I guess this numerical pop up window implementation which is used elsewhere is the reason it’s in decimal to remove the need for a special pop up hexadecimal keypad just for this one application when program resources are tight. -
Selecting colors
Paul Mudditt replied to jmcbade's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
You can do this in decimal so long as you know how to convert a hex number to decimal and store it in your personal swatch as shown here. -
Use the crop tool, select the straighten option on the context toolbar at the bottom, draw a straight line which will rotate the photo as Alfred says with triangles at the edges. Now, that’s where the inpaintcrop2 macro that Jim Welsh created comes in to do all the hard work of fixing the edges. See this post for the macros. 6A78A672-FC2C-4524-9DD7-C073191D5853.MP4

Help in precision
Paul Mudditt replied to Angelos58's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
I don’t know how I did it but when messing around I got the transform studio to use this external centre point. When it occurred the highlighted white anchor block disappeared ! Unable to repeat so far but I was just tapping around to see if I could turn the transform anchor block off. To me that is a sensible way of working so perhaps it’s a bug that it doesn’t work always. edit: I also note you can do the one finger modifier to bring some precision into the rotation, constrained to 15 degree steps. -
Grid Snapping Misaligned
Paul Mudditt replied to Kate England's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Hi Kate, did you try using one of the Serif presets ‘UI Design’, I now see their strength and use them a lot rather than simply turning everything on. -

Those pesky little icons ! Wish we had some pop up help on them using the question mark, nice one I’d better read the help again ! -
Diagonal alignment and distribution
Paul Mudditt replied to Angelos58's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Never really tried this before but I’ve had some success using transform tool, ensuring constraints are selected correctly and make sure order of objects is sequential top to bottom. 01F4601E-3B37-4481-A9B4-234577287C2C.MP4 B3F0FF51-430E-46C2-B265-4D9B924B984C.MP4
