I cant find any forum post on this and nothing in the manual
Where are the assets from the assets panel being saved?
I understand we can save assets used in a document with that document as well
But I am looking to make sure affinity resources arent taking up too much room on the computer as I have a macbook air with little internal disk space
I would also ask where are the styles kept in affinity designer?
is there a workaround to have alias files going to an external harddrive
I am thinking more in terms of what is standard in video editing packages and should be in the preferences for affinity designer
I keep biting my tongue and trying not to get involved with all of these discussions that quickly become name-calling. It's disappointing to read and unnecessary. I suspect I shouldn't even be typing this (it's one of the reasons you don't see me as much on the forums nowadays) but I just wanted to stop this thread degenerating further by stating that I have been typing the new code for this feature for the last couple of weeks: It isn't something that is being left unaddressed, its omission is not some "petty revenge" as stated earlier (which is truly a rather paranoid, unsettling notion to try to get my head around why someone would even think that?) Please can we just all be nice to each other? It doesn't take much, and it frequently takes less time than bashing a keyboard to try to upset someone else or lash out to feel better. We're all after the same thing at the end of the day and we'll get there quicker without wasting so much time trying to say how "disgusted" we are at the job the software developers do: We're actual real people and we're doing our best with what we have - end of story. We try very hard indeed (we have many hundreds less developers than Adobe) and some things will take us longer to work out, but we actually do care an awful lot about what we do and we want it to be something we're proud of. If we're taking too long for you then I genuinely am sorry, but what more can I say or do - I'm doing the best I can
Before someone suggests throwing more developers at the problem is a good way of fixing things we've nearly always found exactly the opposite - they need to be the right developers, and they're very hard to find - if you get the wrong ones then you spend time training them up only to find that the user experience of what they create wasn't as good as you'd want anyway, so have to do the work again so that's even more time lost.
Like everything in life, Designer isn't perfect, I'm not deluded enough to think it is, in fact I'm usually the first to point out its failings when I meet people, but I genuinely am proud of it because despite its failings, it is also a genuinely powerful creative tool that is more fun and productive to use than the competition for a very good range of tasks. So no, I'm not going to feel "disgusted" with myself or my colleagues and nor should anyone try to suggest that we should. Yes, there are things wrong that we've already said are wrong and we are fixing them. Please let this be an end to the name-calling and disparaging.
