There is a cool little program called PopChar that is my go-to solution for finding and using glyphs from fonts across all apps in OSX. http://www.ergonis.com/products/popcharx/

When I import multi-layer .PSD files that have been created with Affinity Photo int Final Cut Pro X, they always get imported "merged" or "flat" unlike .PSD files from Photoshop that are imported as separate layers. I assume this is some kind of export bug, because all I have to do ist open the Affinity PSD in Photoshop (CS6) and save it again, then I have my layers.
Fixing this would mean a big deal for me because I want to replace photoshop with Affinity Photo and that's one of the biggies that keep me from doing that.
 
A much smarter thing would be getting Apple to support the Affinity format from inside FCPX or the OS, but that's not very realistic, I assume?

Great tip —  thanks a lot!

PSD is a de-facto standard for layered pixel graphics and is supported in a great many applications (After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Hitfilm...) I am aware that I can export a PSD from AP.
 
It would be great to be able to tell AP that if it SAVES a document that has been opened in the same file format it was before.
 
So a .PSD gets saved as a PSD a JPG as a JPG
 
Give you an example: I open a multi-layered .PSD file that's already within a Final Cut Pro X Library Bundle, because it has been imported there by Final Cut Pro. In Order to make changes I open it in Photoshop, make the changes and save (overwrite) it. When I switch back Final Cut Pro uses the changed image.
 
When I do the same in AP it saves the document in it's own proprietary format. So what I need to do is "export" as a PSD an "overwrite" the old version.
 
Pixelmator has a preference checkbox "Open Document in Pixelmator Format". If it's checked it will behave like AP does now, if unchecked Pixelmator will save over the open file in it's original format.
 
Would love to see that —  or make Apple support AP's own file format :-)
 
Keep up the great work —  can't wait to buy the finished App!!!

I guess you're after a one step solution, maybe that might be something for a future update. But if in Ps you are double clicking that's still two steps, two clicks. I agree, shortcuts are great and are my preferred method. You can also hold down the option key and scroll with your mouse or trackpad or press Z the shortcut for zoom and drag the slider in the context tool bar or directly choose 100% which it looks like you are currently doing which are both 2 steps as well.

Hi Florian, 
 
Pressing the shortcut key CMD + 1 on your keyboard will get you to 100%
