  1. Not sure why they don't care, there is competition in the UI design industry, and most client have never heard of Affinity. Even though it's a great tool, until it gets more popular, I will switch to Sketch.
  2. Hi guys, Please add the feature which exports text as editable text to Photoshop, we really need it. This feature has been promised for such a long time, some of us rely on Affinity to export to PSD. I actually recreate the text in Photoshop, just so I don't have to work in Photoshop, which I absolutely hate. I'm pretty sure many ui.ux designers prefer Affinity simply because they hate Photoshop, but they need to deliver PSD files to their clients. Thanks
  3. We all need this feature To be honest I don't think that's gonna happen, so I guess we still need to use that piece of s@#$ photoshop as well.
  4. Hi guys, It would be awesome if you could add something similar to css3's spread radius for the drop shadow effect, it would really save us time Thank you, Chris
  5. Yeah. I'd like to see that too, right now I don't need it, as I work with one client only, and I convinced everyone to use Affinity, but in the future I think they have two options: either they create this feature, or they become more popular than Sketch. Otherwise they're gonna lose users on the long run, and that would be a shame, it's one of the best apps out there. edit: I tried Xara, absolutely awful. The UX and UI of the app is garbage, and it's basically more of a website creator than a design tool.
  6. Hi guys, Is there a way to revet to the previous Beta version? Is there an archive where older Betas can be downloaded from? I really need it. Thank you, Chris
  7. I don't think I will use the Beta versions ever when the next stable version is released. I used the Beta version simply because the previous stable version was way too slow, but I keep downloading the latest beta version, and I keep getting into things I really don't like, and I make a living out of design and by using Affinity, I simply can't waste time with bugs and crashes. I'd rather pay 20-30 bucks/month for Affinity and have it stable, it's my main tool, and the Beta version is not an improvement for me. And I would gladly pay 20-30 bucks/month, I can't understand why you're selling this so cheap, it's one of the best tools available, and with the extra money you could hire testers, and not rely on the actual users. I don't mean to sound like a nag, but it's very frustrating, and even though there's a warning that the beta version should not be used for producing, you know we all use it for producing. 1. It crashed out of nowhere when trying to open a file (I wrote a crash report). No problem there, might be the amazing windows 10's fault, it's the worst os I've ever used so far. 2. Huge annoying bug: I have a text field, and I wanna change the color of a single word our of that text (artistic text), by pasting the hex value of the color. It used to work before, now it doesn't quite as before. I got it to work, but with workarounds. Still not sure why using the color picker is not possible when trying to change the color of a single word in a text field.. Anyway, I select the word, paste the hex code, and nothing. I click on the move tool, nothing. I click in another input field of the color chooser, and some weird color appears. I do this for 2-3 times before being able to actually change the color, and finally I manage to do that. What I'm trying to say is that if you want to change the color of a word by copy/pasting the hex value of a color, that should happen instantly after pasting the color, so you wouldn't have to click in another input box of the color chooser to make it happen. It used to work fine before
  8. Hi guys, thanks for replying That's ok, I'l rewrite the text. Fireworks used to have this feature, pretty useful if you ask me, maybe a moderator could move this thread to Suggestions / Feature Request? Cheers, Chris
  9. Hi guys, Is there a way to have the first letetr of every word in a text capitalized, and the rest of the letters lowercase? Can't find such option in the Capitalization menu. Cheers, Chris
  10. Hi guys, It would be great if we could add colors to a favorite list, which would be present throughout the whole project in which we add them to favorites. That list could be visible in the color picker box. It would be cool if we could copy that list in different projects. Also, having an automatic list of the latest 15-ish used colors would be great too. that would improve work flow a lot. If you'd like, I could make a mockup of how I see that. Cheers, Chris
  11. I totally agree, this is probably the first I encounter something unintuitive in Affinity.
  12. Thank you toltec Couldn't have figured that out in a milion years. It's bad ux, no offence to such a beautiful app, but it still has some usability issues. Thanks again, very much appreciated
  13. HI, I have the same problem, only I want all the text to be inside a circle, but I always get one letter staying outside. I really don't understand how that's done. I attached the test file here, I'm trying to get the H next to the ELLO, but that seems impossible. Not sure this is not more intuitively, the whole app is so amazingly intuitively, but this section just doesn't make sense to me, and the help file didn't provide that much help in this situation. Please help. Thank you kindly text-on-path-INSIDE.afdesign
  14. Hi guys, I read in an older topic that 1.6 would bring prototyping. Is that still the case? Any ETA on that? That would really be extremely helpful. And I'm not talking about invision type prototyping, which is very basic, I'm talking about real multi level prototyping, not just changing a screen, but hiding showing objects with gestures, adding layers to a screen prototype, manipulating layers instead of whole screens, etc. Please say it will happen soon
  15. Exactly. Decimals are added. Only when snapping to another object, not moving it in other ways, just by snapping it to an object 2 pixels away.
  16. If both shapes have their width, height, X and Y rounded numbers (I mean without decimals) why would there be a problem with both options being enabled? Because this is the case for me. Basically what happens is the opposite, it kills the numbers without decimals, and it turns them into numbers with decimals.
  17. Hey guys, I'm really having a tough time using snapping. It's like a cool feature that doesn't work for me. I can almost never get it to work properly, I have to adjust decilmals every time. For example in this scenario, there's a 0.5px gap between the two rectangles, when there shouldn't be any spacing between them. They have both rounded values for width/height, and even the "move by whole pixels" and "force pixel alignment" are turned on, but there's this 0.5 pixels gap, when in fact they should "stick" to one another. How do you use snapping? It's personally driving me insane, it could be such a time saver, but I can't get it to work properly. Thanks
  18. Well, to me it makes sense that the locked layer would not be selectable by simply clicking on it. But a key+click would be perfect
  19. Hey guys, I was thinking of a pretty useful feature that I'd personally use a lot When you lock a layer, you can't select it unless you click on it in the layers panel. That's a bit time consuming since you can't press Ctrl+K to find it. How about a shortcut to select layers that are locked, directly on stage? For example you have a rectangle on stage, and you press S+Mouse_Button_Left to select a layer that's locked? That would be pretty awesome. Cheers
  20. Yeah definitely, on my previous configuration, which was not as good as my current one, I didn't have this problem. edit: yeah, that works too Cycling between files I mean.
  21. Went to almost 90%, it seems that if I work and I have several files opened in Affinity, the cpu goes wild. The work arouned suggested WhiteX didn't seem to work unfortunately So the problem is actually having several files opened in affinity for a period of time of over 20-30 minutes approximately.
  22. Hi WhiteX, thanks for the tip. I switched to Nearest Neighbor, let's see what happens next Cheers
  23. Hey guys, Right now, if I select a word inside a text field and I wanna use the color picker to color only that specific word, it's not possible, as the whole text field changes the color I choose with the picker. It would be great to have the possibility of changing the color of only a portion of text with the color picker. Thanks
  24. 1. Sometimes snapping to a certain object does happen, other times, snapping to the the same object, with the same snapping settings, don't take into consideration that object. Thta usually happens with small objects (like a rectangle 1 px wide for example) 2. Sometimes there's a very small gap between two objects that should have 0 pixels spacing between them, when using snapping. Instead, there's a [0,something gap], it's not a rounded zero. I have to delete some decimals to get the value right. Cheers
