The accentuation thing is happening with me too... any accentuation (usually needed in Portuguese or Spanish) generate a apostrophe... I'm using a U.S International keyboard setup.

Hi 99Combo, I also use AF for social medias. In my case I created an artboard template with everything I usually like background, text, logo, etc... then all you need to do is create an Asset. If you are a freak like myself, you would find very interesting create a new category for each client... After your artboard/asset is created, all you need to do is create any AF document with 72DPI/RGB and then drag our artboard into the document. I hope it helps! Reminous

I agree with you... little things that means a lot on the workflow.

Well, the behaviour on the current version is different from the Beta version... The way it is right now you have to "enter" the text with text tool, selecting the whole thing, then applying the character spacing... Before, all you needed to do was select the text with the moving tool and use a shortcut. Now, I understand the mess you suggested, however, would be easier for you not to select more than one text at once, if prefer not to do so, than be forced to do it many times, let's say in 20 different instances, one by one. So my option would be: yes, the way it is right now is very arduous in cases like that.

Hi there, I noticed that we need to actually select the text with the text tool and not just click on the text in order to space the characters using the shortcut. Reminous

First of all, AD is getting better and better... However, going through the beta version I'd love to see a few things some of us have been craving since the first version. 1) Lines with arrowheads (pleaaaaaase) 2) Text warp (huge) 3) Layer panel improvements: I'd love to have an option to view only layers for the active Artboard... or at least have a better UX to represent Artboards, Layers, Pixel Layers, Groups, etc, right now it's quite confusing managing it since they all look pretty much the same - specially when you have multiple artboards 4) Colapse / Extend all layers at once (super useful) 5) Hide artboards - and not just its content 6) Rotate guide lines 7) Adding/Overlap multiple effects - apply a multiple layers of shadows on the same effect command There is much I know... If you guys agree or have any more request I'd love to hear from the community. Thanks! Reminous

Hi there, I keep finding myself messing with unwanted layers from others artboards when working in a document with multiple artworks... Is there a way to set the layers panel show only layers from the active artboard? Reminous

Hi there, Not sure if anyone notice, but we have a bug when typing especial characters like "é", "á", "ó" on Publisher... These are very common characters in Portuguese (some in Spanish too). I'm using a "U.S International - PC" keyboard on my mac right now and the output when trying the combination keys for é is currently 'é I'm attaching a sample of what I'm trying to achieve, but I'll be glad to provide more details if needed. Thanks Reminous

I fell you... I've being syncing all my assets, shortcuts in a DropBox folder since I started using Affinity as my main application... and it sucks, because any change I do I have to remember to upload to the cloud and sometimes I just forget... however it is the best approach I've found for now.

I imagine that with a artboard panel (best approach I guess), the layers panel would show only layers from the selected artboard?

I recently post some other insights about Artboards and I left this issue out... Any update about this bug? o.o

I've been doing that for some time now, that's why I was hopping for a better solution... When you are working with 2, 4 even 10 artboards it is fine, however imagine a document with 15, 20 or more! Anyways, I appreciate your thoughts and I'm really glad I'm not the only one striving for a better tool and willing to share ideas.

I do know that... And maybe that is happening because there's a great market out there and they are trying to turn their product the next standard application for UX... However, I still have a feeling that Affinity tools will have a better approach based in everything they have done so far.

Hi! When working with many Artboards I just got lost in the layers panels sometimes, so I'm wondering if we could have these options to get life easier: In the settings, I'd love to have an option to make the layers visible only for the active Artboard; Rename the Artboard in the screen by double clicking over the edge of the page; A short cut to colapse all Layers from all Artboards of my document; When enlarging an Artboard, sometimes we over cross neighbor's Arboards (either from left, right, top or bottom). Id love to see AD organizing our mess by repositioning the Artboard according to previous spaces between them. The effect would look like pulling pages apart. Preview mode: I usually work with multiple Artboards, however, sometimes I wish I could see just one at the time to better focus or to show multiple suggestions (or a campaign) to my clients. May the force be with you! Reminous

Hi there, I'm not sure if anyone ever mentioned that, but I'd love to have an UX Persona in AD... In my view I'd imagine some extra tools like: being able to link Artboards across the project with maybe some usual screen transitions; export prototype project to HTML - great for review and feedback; a "repeat grid" kind of tool, like our fellow friends from Adobe did in Adobe XD; and a quick tool to see the designs in real time in small devices; I hope I'm not alone in this thought and some how you guys from Affinity can able to work towards this idea. Reminous

You could also move the intire Artboard to the Assets panel and then export the Assets to the cloud. The whole team can now import the asset and use it in their projects easily...

In my case, I create the document that suits my needs, let's say a Postcard 6x4in, CMYK, 300 DPI with placement text, logo and address in place... When I'm done, I drag the artwork into a new Asset Group in Assets panel... Next time I need it, I simply create a new document and drag it back from the Assets panel into my document. Another thing I do is save the Assets to the cloud to make it available in my other machines if needed. Not sure if it helps, but it's my best solution for now since I do repeat same kind of document setting for some specific clients such as business cards, flyers, post cards, posters, etc. Reminous

Hi there, Not sure if anyone notice, but into "Alignment" panel, the option "Align to: Last object" and "Align to: first object" will just work if you use the mouse to open the "Alignment" panel and then click over the alignment buttons... if you use a shortcut, try the right click over the selected object or go to "Menu: Layer/Alignment" the option previously set will be ignored. I made short video to explain what I just said... Is there any work around it? Reminous AF Beta 1.6 beta 12 - align bug.m4v

Bug Report: Depth of Field Blur AP is cutting the image after applying this filter... really weird. AF Beta 1.6 beta 1 - bug1.mov

Hi there, I have a quick question... is there a way to make the "Align to key items: last selected" always turned ON? I used align all the time and this feature is really handy, however I still think it will be much easier if we could just select the items and then have they always anchored to the last selection without worrying about still picking the option later. Reminous

Hi there, Wouldnt be nice if we could hide an Artboard? Sometimes I feel I need it in order to focus my attention in a specific artboard I am working on... The way it works now, we can only hide its content, so I guess it should make more sense if we could hide the entire thing instead. Reminous

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if de MAS version will accommodate the assets and symbol feature as well? Or is it already there and I somehow missed? Thanks, Reminous

Congrats for that! We've been so lucky to get so many cool features and improvements these past fews months that I can only hope we still have room to something that most of us (if not everyone) would surely enjoy still in this version: (BOTH APPS) Align/distribute to Key Object Cheers, Reminous

Since we have the new color pick in place I'm wondering what is the purpose of keeping the old one? Also... is that possible to pick a gradient color with the same tool as well? Reminous

Thanks a lot!
