@Dazmondo77I understand the frustration, though I won't blame Affinity, They have been bought by serif, which surely need to lots of reorganization for the people there, (and the whole thing without changing business model) And they do provides regular updates with bug fixes. The software isn't abandoned at all. The most notable feature the brought since 2014 is Windows Support which came late in dev and which was certainly very hard to do. And they were in fact preparing Publisher. I think they needs support, to keep the passion up, and clear feature requests without having to have too much "how bad they are posts" - it doesn't make feature implemented quicker, but can maybe turn them back from the forum. Illustrator CS5 was already almost a 26 years old widely spread software when it came out (first release in 1985!). So let's be patient, and bump our favorite FR from time to time. Hoping they will pass of course, especially if they are interesting and reasonable :P

Thanks for your explaination. I understand that some feature are specific (like photos editing tools for Photo, vector specific tools for Designer), though I'm not convinced the feature I mentioned should be "one app" specific. Batch converter could be very useful in Affinity Designer as well, Just like Live Filters. If the interoperability is that extensive I wonder why not merge all the software together; I mean, there is already a Personna paradigm, so why not a Photo personna, a Designer personna etc... Just some thoughts. But in practice I'm not asking for so much. I'll be just fine with a Live FIlter menu entry in designer ^^ (and yes, maybe batch converter, though, this doesn't need to be launch as quickly as live filter so it is okay to use Photo for that. Live filter requires implementation cause it is really a common tool to use in design - I mean, the perspectve filter is a must have, especially since we don't have edge transformation tool.) Just my two cents!

@Dan C Hi, Thanks for your answer ! Indeed, I can File -> Open with Photo to add the perspective live filter, and then open back to Designer. Surprisingly, it works just as well : we can even double click the live filter in Designer and have the settings popup ! This means than the only thing Missing from affinity Designer is a Menu to get access to them ! This is so weird. I don't understand this limitation. Is Photo supposed to be an enhanced version of Designer ? Is there also some function for designer which would need other softwares like Publisher ? Photo seems the most limited of the suite. It is not the first feature which need to pass by photo, like Btach processing. The weirdest thing is that we don't even need Photo: someone who shares a afdesign file with all live filter would be enough for Designer users to use filter without Photo. Well, I hope it will be integrated right in Affinity Designer cause this limitation is kind of frustrating, knowing it is all there, and it only miss a menu entry. Thanks for your support !

affinity designer Work: Tous des Moutons ! (Slideshow Video)
X-Raym posted a topic in Share your work
Hi everyone ! So far I used Affinity Designer just on small individual taks or illustration, but I recently had to use it extensively to make an educational video with a friend of mine. This requires to do around 50 different illustrations, mostly custom creations with few assets from Freepik here and there. I had to learn both flat design characters drawing and Affitnity Designer Photo. As a global feedback for Affinity Designer, I want to say that it was a very pleasing software to use (nice UI, no lags, no crash), and I'm glad it has this very nice business model. The video is in French, but here the result : During the elaboration of this work, I find several limitations we could have make it easier. I opended and bumped various other forum threads, but here is a reacap of things I would really love to have for the next series of illustration I would have to make : This one is a must have for me. Almost all my illustrations have some kind of symetry involved. This will really help This will really help making some variations for a duplicated objets. Would be very nice ! This would help making some automation. This would be the Graal and ultimately could solve other issue, like layer name processing etc. It would be very appreciated ! If I had to choose only one, the first I mentioned would be really helpful. Please bump the thread if you agree, hoping it will interest Affinity Designer devs Thx for your attention, Cheers ! -

How to batch export?
X-Raym replied to AT.HA's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
@R C-R so there is batch tools/macros in Affinity Photo that can't be found in Affinity Designer... Is there such things in Affinity Publisher as well ? (batch processing tools missing from the other softwares ?) -

It could definitely be on Affinity Designer as well.... +1 for this ! -
Random position and scale
X-Raym replied to creaturerigger's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on Desktop
I can see there is a "noise" function in field equations... noise(seed / x, y) Generate 1D noise either from a seed or based on X/Y input. Couldn't that be used to add randomness (it is equivalent to a random() function ?) ? It doesnt seem to work in transform field though. Such integration wouldn't require any GUI changes so it might be quicker to implement. EDIT: I see this has been explicitly requested in this thread : -
+1 For full Screen preview ! It would help positioning and scaling for screen devices.
