Why not more *AI* technology?
Aaron Martin replied to a topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo V1 on Desktop
Resizing, removing, generating (vector,pixel or text) would be helpful. Im imagining like if the assistant from current version could have chatting and editing capabilities. I could ask him to generate a vector bird or remove everything green -
For some speed works, id like to have an export option for the selected shape or photo when i right click on the item. what i do is create an art board place shape in art board Resize art board Rename art board Press export shortcut key start my exporting workflow It would be much easier if i could just right click on shape click on export selection start my exporting workflow Just a suggestion Thanks

Does serif has any ai implementation plans? -
when adding contour on complex vectors, the result will delete some of the selected layers (Video for reference) For other people with the same issue, my work around is to select all the layers that you want to add contour and click on Divide function before adding contour (Workaround also showcased in the reference video) Screen Recording 2023-03-17 at 7.00.01 PM.mov downside is you may end up with more than necessary layers.

UI/UX Design and Prototyping Features
Aaron Martin replied to Zaxx81's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on Desktop
i have to disagree, i'd think they could not only catch up, but be ahead if they have some sort of true live collaboration functionalities. prototyping functions could be added overtime. although im not sure if current state of serif is suitable for creating a collaborative workflow. Figma done it exceptionally well. (pretty worried if adobe gonna ruin it though) -

This solution works in some cases (like this), the cases it doesn't work is: if the strokes aren't closed, causing unfilled gaps in the shape which depending on the complexity of the design, it can take lots of work to fix. if the design are a mixture of strokes and fills, which in that case, when you add all the shapes together, you will have artifacts at the edge of the shape due to some shapes having transparent strokes, which, depending on your detail quality requirement, it may not be so clean. second issue with this solution is the erase blend mode, the problem with that is, as long as your not exporting it to other file formats, it works. But in cases where you need an SVG or PDF export (or any other file format with vector requirement for that matter), you will have pixelated effect and that could be, not ideal. i think affinity should up their game in vector editing functionalities and add functions like: vector Knife tool vector stretch and mesh tool vector perspective tool vector fill shape maker pixel to vector convertor than we won’t have any issues for fixing these and we won’t need to create complex workarounds (although the possibility of having so many ways to do one thing is a feat of its own, done by affinity amazingly flexible software) As for this issue, id also recommend anto’s solution except at the end, instead of creating an erase blend mode, i suggest to simply subtract that area from the filled backgroudn vector.

Hi. The more i think about it, the more i see prototyping should be implemented as a persona in designer app (not an individual app). apps like invision studio have a great ux approach to animate design elements with easy to use and functional flexibility for files out of sketch. I think that kind of approach for designer would be ideal.

1. Select it 2. Copy it 3. Paste it inside 4. Move and edit the inner shape theres few other ways to do this as well, this one is quite simple.

New Line indicator
Aaron Martin replied to Aaron Martin's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Hi Pšenda the problem is there is no indicator (as previewed in screenshot). since i see yours is showing the indicator, than im assuming (correct me if im wrong) this is already implemented and should be enabled in settings. is there any way i can enable it? thank you very much -
New Line indicator
Aaron Martin replied to Aaron Martin's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
Yes. But affinity does not have the paragraph indicator. And the problem is when i assign usually make documents in publisher i start by making varieties of text styles which i’ll be using during the making of the document and quite often i have to replace titles or sometimes add translations in different text styles and later move around the texts from one paragraph to another. The problem i encounter during this process is when i start moving texts around rapidly, the lack of “new paragraph” indicator makes me to change the whole paragraph’s text style after pasting just a few words to add in the middle or start of the paragraph. -
New Line indicator
Aaron Martin replied to Aaron Martin's topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher V1 on Desktop
No. The blue “enter” icon at the end of the line, which shows that id youre selecting, copying and pasting the selected portion of the text will include the “new line” so if you select a line all the way to the end of the line (which will include s blue “new line” indicator) you are also selecting the “new line” function which if thats not intended to be selected, you can drag back the selection so it doesn’t include the blue “new line” indicator. -
Affinity publisher deeply needs this indicator when selecting text. I’ve had so many messed up text styles while moving around texts just because of not being able to see if i have selected a sentence with a new line function at the end of it.
