Did this happen with text, AlecHHC?

For the purpose of measuring distances correctly, ⌘ (cmd) only makes sense if the curves of the objects are parallel and horizontal or vertical / the two points are lying on an imaginary horizontal/vertical line. Requested since 2014, so perhaps it will launch together with the arrow heads.

A workaround is the use of text on path. And here you can get customizable rulers for curves. Hopefully even areas will be calculated in future. That would be the basis for automatic visual/optical alignments.

Any examples? ;)

Thanks, Callum. That’s what we meant by “Just missed the right folder?”.

Thanks, but this does not answer the question … Will you make it accessible again? If not, why not?

Of course it has been moved … but again: why it has been made inaccessible, please? “Sorry, we couldn't find that! You do not have permission to view this forum.” The result is that people don’t react with pleasure.

“Sorry, we couldn't find that! You do not have permission to view this forum.” Is there a good reason that something like topic 41532 was made inaccessible? Just missed the right folder?

Two weeks later: No answer. :-( Is it a (logged) bug or a hidden feature?

typing 70% is quicker

Well, Serif told us: "We are going to focus on completing the full suite (including Publisher) on the Mac … after that we will look into other platforms”. Perhaps, when the gold price is 1,666.66 US$. ;)

and had not enough resources to release a better one for Serif’s special compatibility list because Apple had too much work with claiming “Android has horrible fragmentation” ;)

Much shorter: “less is more”. Perhaps another reason, why there will be no printed reference manuals from Serif, but workbooks.

“Affinity Photo will hardly be a Photoshop competitor in the broadest sense of the term.” “Affinity is a 10-15 year project.”

Are you sure? Not from Serif. Just a workbook.

Very unfortunate … please try to ask (again and again) if something is not clear. Kind regards

Not 10.12.3, 10.12.5 and 10.12.4?

Thanks, MEB. Like that of Mr. UI? left much lighter than right

Why don’t we have dark marks on the left side? Just an easter egg from the UI team or a hidden feature?

Sorry, but enough is enough, R C-R. If you don’t see the issues, please ask someone else to do the work. Matt already claimed they can (and should) be fixed.

Firstly, it seems symptomatic that one must repeat itself until it is believed. One does not examine facts and assert the opposite. You know that it’s frustrating. Worst example was the claim that Serif had allegedly never announced the launch of Affinity Publisher for 2015. Same with aligning UI elements. Here is an example for a workaround of a better alignment of the Persona elements in the non-retina version: Move the Persona background rectangles down 1 pixel. Now they are correctly aligned with the other buttons and the first icon is optically better placed on its rectangle. Move the second Persona icon down 1 pixel. Check if the third icon should be changed. Use (unfilled) (unrounded) rectangles for the Persona icons, adapt the other backgrounds and delete the distance lines. Make additional improvements like adjusting the style of the icons. Other icons need much more adjustments. BTW: For some designers pruning and squeezing a logo onto a small gray surface really hurts.

You are kidding, R C-R. If we would get money to do that job of Serif, we would create a new graphical concept. If Serif has only the resources to mend things, then … Serif had months to create a half-baked light UI, so give us some time for an example. “Anti-aliased” does not lead to sharpness!

And it was not about pixel boundaries or anti-aliasing. There is no snag. The icons could be optically aligned correctly, but they are not.

Like iOS app(s) and APu.

Tool and Persona icons are still visually misaligned. It is much more about design than about maths. The UI is for humans, not for machines that have problems with mathematical misalignments. HTH
