Upload, Download and share Affinity resources for free
Aaron Martin replied to Aaron Martin's topic in Resources
hi Frances. Thank you for your advice. These are much appreciated. like you said theres still a lot of work to be done. but just to clarify some of the small details of the workflow, here are my responses: i tried to have a minimalistic approach to the design of the UI as to make the top side of the webpage , one of the works selected from uploads of other users. at the moment, since theres not much content on the website, i placed this as a placeholder. Im already creating some templates of shapes and often used resources such as vector phones, packagings etc. and will be uploading them soon. thats because the website lacks content still. you are right, will do this one to clarify. at the moment its has a menubar although very minimal in functionality (it only has account / upload / search / home button when clicked on Logo) i will be considering adding mych more dunctionalities to it. Also good advice, thank you. Thats because i set the website up in a way where you have to upload the affinity file (designer/photo/publisher) this way i can show the filter in a correct way when its being searched. (Screenshot Below) than later on, you can add assets such as macros, brushes, fonts , packages , etc. in add resources (Screenshot Below). This was actually a big dilemma as in how i wanted my website to categorize the content. At the end , i decided to go consistence with how serif developers categorised their softwares and let the users to at least send a sample work in affinity format if the resources they are uploading , for example, if someone wants to share a brush, at least they could upload an af file with that brush used as use case. Thank you so much for your word of encouragement. -

Hi. I appreciate your time for checking this out. You are right. I think its because of the web using http instead of https. Im not sure how to do that yet, looking into it now and will be done. At the meantime, if anyone could guide me with some advice, that would be great as well. -

Thank you so much for time to check it out. I initially tried to make this as simple and without any distraction as possible. But the animations were though (mostly cuz im a noob at this) what i aim as main focus was firstly to require as few clicks as possible to upload or download files, and also avoid any other graphical clutter so the resource thumbnail become the main focus. i will work on the UI more and try to make it look fresh. Thanks for your feedback. -

Im glad you liked it. 🙂 -
Hi everyone. Im a fan of affinity and thought of creating a website for you all to easily upload, share and find resources exclusively for affinity files for free. Before you check this website, i wanna let you know that i made this website with little help from others and lots of passion and love, its not perfect and i intend to keep upgrading it and your opinion is valuable. i hope it can help some in the community. www.affinityelites.com Enjoy PS: Everyone can download resources and assets but you'll need to sign up to upload While uploading files, you can submit a PNG thumbnail of your file that has transparent background. This way others can utilise the background greyscale effect to check how the source looks with different shades of grey level background.

Strange effects on Exported PDF (Unreliable Export)
Aaron Martin replied to Aaron Martin's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
Yes. Im aware of the workaround. But nevertheless this is a bug that effects a workflow and requires one more detailed checking for such mistakes which does not show either on affinity or preflight and just pops up as a surprise when the work is done and final. -

Hi, I like to request a feature for Designer on iPad and Desktop. I want to be able to convert colors resulted on HSL effects to be applied on real color. Which i think it should be easily applied when the color picker and the point of center of the color gradient is able to be calculated. I made some screenshots to illustrate my idea in attachment below:

Save vertical space as much as possible
Aaron Martin replied to xuxing's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
i think this might be cause of operating system since its behaving differently on my mac. here i sent you 2 screenshot of my document , first before clicking "tab" button, next after clicking "tab". as you can see, it shows the screen without any tools or menu bars. i used to doubt it behaving differently on windows. -

Aaron Martin replied to xuxing's topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
Document title bar goes if your having only one document open and window is fullscreen, menu bar should be hidden ... And Doesn't scroll bar disappears when page is still? maybe if u could send a screenshot to clarify if we are both discussing same shortcut key. -
Letter Shape Idea
Aaron Martin replied to Nico Heinrich's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on Desktop
Wow. +1 for this. Doesn’t necessarily have to be just serif. -
My assumption is that this and several other heavily requested features are saved for ver.2 update to create a higher incentive for older users to pay for upgrade. We are at ver.1.9 now so im hoping if my assumption is right and if theres no v.1.10, hopefully well see this soon.

For me. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to open on 2019 base macbook pro. After some tweaks (moving objects around four or five times) computer shuts down suddenly and my mac’s fan goes loud for a second (after the screen going off) and than mac turns on again. What do u think might be the cause of this? In a seperate file, i deleted more than half of the artboard and save the file again (so file size get reduced) problem still persists. Is it cause of cpu not being powerful enough? Thanks for the update
