thank you°

...where do i find the SERIF/AFFINITY librarys with all my custom-settings (brushes, macros, shortcuts, preferences... and so on?) (Sorry, but i allways create an ALIAS to my AFFINTY-folder for fast access... so i can not rembember the original path... but THIS time , i will also create a devonthing-notice with that path... for later use;-)))) Thanks again! OSX 13.5x and Affinty 2.... Thank you!

It doesnt matter how many brush/categories i have/will create... if i change to whatever other categorie... i have (ALLWAYS) my 4(or STANDARD/Favorites 8 brushes) on top of each other categrory (wiothout extra copy/duplicate by hand.... ist automatically there....) ideal-like-wise with a "separte line) I very often switch between different caterogies and also very often i need DURING The special brush/strke.... a "normal smooth rounded or mybe a QUDER... or wayhtever my defaults are....) I do not want everry tim to mouse-wide-window my

I dont know why, and its not really a bug... its just an nasty RANDOM missbehvior.... AFFINITY tools doese SOMETIMES not react to Mosuse-click/mouse declick/over... I think most AFFINITY is coded, to react JUST by mouseover (after click) ???? BTW: What is the advantage to "behave" so, id do not see any "advantage".... instead CLICK and beome visual response...???? However, sometimes i get another TOOL with one click(Mouseover) and sometimes not... so i have to clck a second time (and moseover) to select/see... this TOLL is now selected.... Thats really, really nasty! Sry, i didnt fin a BUG-report SUB... i hope Affinity Support & Questions sub is the right SUB for such questtions???? (If not, sry for Admin-extra-work... forgive me... but please give me a ANCHOR for sending stuff this! Thank ya!) And BTW: LOT of your v1 tool-icons wehre (at least for me) better... to Seperate/difference... from other icons... . (cyan tool/circle... vs black rectangel & black select-quader....), the gradient icon... vs the fdlood fill-.. its all look so same/by accident ranopmly change....) For me, the old icons where better (others mabe prefares the new onest....) .. so, why no OPTION... in preferences : i pfrefer the OLD icons...???? And also: in V1 there was a MORE CONTRAST betwenn selectd/ not selectect in TOOLS and other "options"... Well, i understand your "beuaty-Qeuen" intention... but PLEASE not of cost of reedable... why not a a half.transparent lyer or are red line.... as indicator.... there are so many ways.... without extra CPU....? Please NO apple gui whre the transperency follows the mouse... andt CPU has to re-calcultated such GIMMICKS... please no FANCY GIMMICKS... just SOLID indicators.... And yes: if i "finally" have after HOURS: my tools, my studio.-views, my shortys, my menue-bar... all this stuff... i want to save/recieve to antother compi... i want this in ONE "-AP-my-def-file"... My macros/brushes/my assets/... all this stuff which maybe needs EXTERNAL special stuff (to save HDD...)... ok, for this stuff, i have to per hand... but JUST the internal settings... PLIST or however ist called in Winows... yeah, this stuff i want in ONE Mastert-file! Please, please, please.!!! (2020 Imac OSX Ventura 27 inch, out of box, with its factory-mm-mouse..... (ventura 13.5.xyy)....

I´m an owner of AFFINITY-Suite (UNIVERSAL-Licences)... What i really hoped, whre that all 3 apps... become an UNIVERSAL (all-in-one-app) i JUST open one file and i can PERSONA_LIKE... in AU (= Affinity Universal) does doing all my things... from very SPECIAL photo-filter.... to very special VECTOTr-stunts--- to very special PUBLISHER-things... All does from INSIDE one app, called AFFINITY UNIVERSAL.... or so) In one file/under one hood... all the app-internm-special-tools... i will get by just switching the UNI-MASTER-PERSONA (my special GUI/Tools-window/-managment....) , but all the rest is keeping in that juts one file???? Fast switch to VECTOR-brush... or special-publisher Text-FRAME... tools from inside PHOTO... or viceversa... fast switsch from 93% VECTOR file to some PHOTO-Tools/FX... via the MASTER_PERSONAS in this INSIDE ONE/UNIVERSAL app.... that was my hope/wish since V2". But nothing happend to this.-(((( JUST ONE SERIF-FILE, and just one "Universal SERIF app"!.... Please SERIF.... do that for all of us UNIVERSAL-License-Owner!

I dont know, AP files become bigger and bigger .. even if shrrink/crop the canvas7delte unnecasser<y layers... NOPE, even without snapshots.... i guess there is "unvisible history"???? However, how can i reduce this sizes???? Thank you!

Well, in OSX its possibly to categorize/Prefer... your fonts in special folders.... And AFFINITY will just search/select/suggest... this fonts in this folder (By osx)... That works really well... BUT it needs some long ways... - You have to open the FONT-Panel - You have to find/click/Activate... the font-panel TAB - You have to open the Font-Panel, than you have 2 TIMES to choose from the category and finally from the FONT... if this FONT has VARIATIONS you must mouseway back to the AFF_Font/Vari... THAT is a better worklflow than AFF:Favaorites... but i could be thousend betterm, smartehr, smoother,,, if AFF itself allows Favorite FONts in diverse categorizes... Wahts the problem to imlpement such easy thing???? Just tell OSX Font-Manager / Widwos-TTF-INspector.... THIS; THIS AND THIS FONT with all Varioitiones i want in MY catergorie XY/Subcategorie "SERIF"... Whats so difficault... that could be done in 1-2 POINT; POINT udates...

I own AFFINITY SUITE - so iwant create/edit/save.... with all the possibilitys of 3-apps together in ONE APP (one file/one folder/one doc-change....) I dont want this AD/AP/APUb...finder(explorere. tohuwabohu... I WANT AFFINITY SUITE (maybe Real NAME*. ass as compi-suffix...) SUCH FILES are just for SUITE-OWNER openabele in SUITE (Each SUITE has has its "Personas" wich will intern direct link to FULL-AP/AD/Apub... THERFORE i have BOUGHT the SUITE... I dont like different AD; AP; APUUB files in my finder/explorer... i want just ONE file and all the TOOLS from the 3 apps in one HOST_app... the AFF-SUITE... with personas... it would be so easy... FULL AP/ APUB from inside AD or viceversa... FULL AD from inside AP/ and full of booth from APub... THEREFORE i bought the SUITE, not for ... extra-orgenize all brothers (in seperate folders... or the same... but this TWIN/GEMINI... is without elders... and horted in another folder..

Wlll, ist a ÖLITTLE bit better than ADOBE Suite"... Haha...which needs dozens/hiundrteds... BRIDGES... and so on... maybe... BUT I HAVE I BOUG "Suite" ... so i expect a A SUITE = ONE!!!!!! APPP i can do allm my stunts (in Personas... however... BUT its ONE FILE i am workin/saving... duplictae.... backstore... in... NOT 3 different AP/AD/AQ...folder and different lot of diffrenent files.... just "different" with its "uniuqe" app...appendix.... NOPE... There should create SERIF a SERIF (Master-file-app (its hust all features FREE in this app...) CALL it "AFFINITY-SUITE" and all this folder/file/app(/append/embedded...... stuff = past/history for the NEW SUITE_ ENDUSER....

Lets say i have an artboard 1000X500 and i´m absolut HAPPY with all groups and THEM CENTER Postion... and its generell size.... BUT i want to "shrink" the Artbord/Canvas... it self WITOUT loosing any GroupElements.... sizes/places.... Lets say all my groups are Inside the new canvas and an Option like "schrink from MIDDLE" is activated... SO all my GROUPS (a d layer it self) should be KEEP its current places ... ON the PIXEL exact (if activated).... IF I WANT that will re-size OR SCHRINK proprtional to new MASTER_"freme".... ok... but pere default (or at ölesat as OPTION::: ther schould be "SCHRINK/Crop.... from the mideele Point... keep all intact... just SCHRINK dthe "CANVAS".... Theer is lot of AP and AD ... THINKING inside....Well. to spend AD a CROP TOOL a and to spend AP Artboarads... Is it so complextly/difficault to set borders/possibillitys... for EACH SUB-APP...? BUT I OWE ALL SERIF!!!!!!! - IT´s a relly annoying MISS/MESS/FCK... thah SERIF does not matter a SERIF_ALL app: AA for AFFINITY ALL... (all hidden (disabeled) features from AP in AD and Apub and viceversa and crossover....) As an OWNER for SRIF-SUITE i REALLY HOPED THAT I OPEN AFFINITY SUITE AND THE PERSONAS... will handle (my "SEPERATE" = is thi9s really separate????) nto ONE file... ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ AP/AD/APUB--- THE PERSONAS can handle it.... But NO---- Its the same old finder/explorer and warnings and not compatinble... WARN... like really COMPLETE different apps... SERIF SUITE it cost exact as Combo of as the COMBINATION of AP; AD; APub.... (together) in ONE APP... Thats the GOAL!) I would by it! NOPER. ia llready have bouht it, but with this ARTIFICALLY DIVIDE into AP: AD; Apub... files....Dozens. hundreds, thouisands of REDUNDANT files... ( If i had AS = AFFINITY SUITE = AP/AD/APUB together... (i have BOUGHT each of them... I am a OWNER of all this.... s, why have to save/copy"reopen, search.... for SUCH THE FILE anywhre... its so OLDFASHION... nope: its really "i give a shit" of your worktime... I AM the MASTER and I HAVE the RULES... and you have to follow me...) Thats MAST_Behavior. PLEASED SERIF overthing this BEHAVIOR.... IF i OWN all SERIF Apps... there is no need for YOU to Seperate (artifically CUT OUT features of them) ... If i just own AP i do understand... thazt AD/Apub... features not avaible... Thats normal, thats ok... BUT... I payed SUITE-... so I ALOS recomend to get a SUITE... But i got just 3 more/less seperate APPS... with the brand-name SERIF... Each of this NEEDS new (own) files/ new (own) shortys, toolbars/FILEW_directions, file-handling... and allt the other stuff, you have REDUNDANT to do foer SEPERATE APSS/and its connected files.... ... HOW CAN SUCH FLICKWERK be a SUITE??????

Thanks for all , and especially for this tipp! Drag&Drop i didnt got to function... but cmd+c/ cmd+v works excellecnt. Yeah its a big time(click)-saver! Thanks!

Thanks guys! Hit twice( or 3 times) ESC works fine. This happens if you use a REACTANGLE as your background, instead the ARTBORD itself.... or bigger groups... in sub- groups.... each click outside will jump the focus to its parant/parant/more background.... In 98% cases i want this behaviovor... but SOMETIMES not. This 2-3% cases i dont want are: I+m deepdive working on an object..- i dont want to see the ANT_Lines and other "selector-guides/boxes".... But this 03% percent the case, so the default.... gets higher and higer depending on click i say welcomme! BUT SOMETIMES (3-4% percent i dont want to see, neither an "ant-line" nor a selector-box--- nor someting other like this...." WHY not disabele this temporailly LIKE the show pixel/retina2/x-ray....view.....) ???

Thank you guys!

1. Is there any way to escape the text-tool via QWERTZ.... + special-keys and after this directly jump to to eg. "V" for move-tool, or "B" for brush....??? (If my booth hands are on the QWERTZ... ist so wide-window to move one to the mouse....) 2. I often want the some similar of this: I want often an INVISBLE object-frame (at all) and ALL THE TIME for the current (selected) layer ... UNTIL i de-actived the "invisible-frame-option" like in this picture- menu! 3. (Move-tool) I often click outside an object and AD jumps to its Group/Parents/Backgrounds/Artborad itself....... Sometimes/really often i dont want this. The same here. As long this LAYER/or group is "temprorily" in focus / protected, there should be a TEMP-protection "click outside "in canvas" dosent jump to another layer/group.... JUST the LAYER_Panel itself will escape from this (and deactivate this TEMP-setting autoimatically.... so if i come back another i have also to activate this again....) Any possibility to this with v2.3? Any plans to implement such things?

Nice tipps / gute Tipps It rains dogs and cats / es regnet Pech und Schwefel.... Thanks/ Danke!
