(I'm not sure if this is a Bug or a Feature Request, so please feel free to re-file it as appropriate.)
Affinity Designer (as of 1.4.2) uses special black document windows that don't have a standard Mac proxy icon in them. I can't, for example, open the containing folder of a document (a really common task!), without a lot of extra work. Another common task I have is just figuring out where something lives: a file might be called "Logo", and I want to make sure it's in the right folder.
The quickest workaround I found to open the containing folder is: focus the AD document window, Save As, see where it's saved, cancel, switch to the Finder, Go to Folder, and type in the path. Clearly, that's a pain.
In every other Mac application I have, it's simply: command-click the name in the titlebar (don't even need to focus the window), and select the first item there.
It would be great if Affinity Designer supported the standard/quick/easy Mac way!
In fact, that sentence pretty much describes all of my gripes with AD. :-)
Wow. OK, that's strange. I never would have guessed that.
It's also not as useful as the normal way. I can't see at a glance if my file is saved yet. I can't see the whole path unless I Reveal In Finder and then command-click the proxy icon there. I can't drag the file directly from the app, instead having to view it in the Finder first.
Thanks for the workaround, but it's still a pain, and I wish AD just used the normal way.
I use Apple's standard Proxy icons every day. They have multiple uses, one of those being to quickly identify a files path. Most users will have files saved in any number of locations, so access to the files proxy icon is a real time saver. Please consider adding Apple's Proxy icons to Affinity documents. Examples attached.
