btw the text descriptions of those packs should now be swapped back to be correct - thanks for reporting.

Yes at the moment fonts don't stream down to the apps. You have to download the .affonts file from your account and install in each app. (File-> Import content on desktop, tap icon top left on Home Screen - import content on iPad). We will be starting a 2.1 beta fairly soon, which will have font streaming included to remove the need for manual installation.

Ha ok thanks we’ll sort it!

The free bundle of content promised for our customers who have upgraded from V1 to V2 is now available. For more information and how to claim please see my latest announcement here. Thanks, Ash

Hi all, Yesterday marked the end of our ‘40% off V2’ launch offer. With that offer ending I wanted to let you know about a couple of things: Ongoing upgrade price for the Universal Licence As I mentioned in my previous announcement (here), offering a specific upgrade price for V1 customers had many complications and is why we decided to run a launch offer in the way we did. However, we listened to the feedback we had around that, and have used this time to implement a method to offer an upgrade price long-term — allowing customers who have not upgraded yet an opportunity to still do so at a better price than a new customer. All the issues I previously referenced around App Store conflict still exist, so the upgrade offer: Is only available for purchases of the Universal Licence (offering upgrade pricing on individual apps just is not possible without conflicting with App Store guidelines as each individual app has their own App Store listing) Is only available for purchases made directly from our website (we cannot offer this upgrade discount for people purchasing via an App Store) The ongoing upgrade offer is 25% off the Universal Licence, and also includes a free content bundle (the Creative Collection) worth over £200. To claim this discount, we will validate you own V1 based on whether you previously purchased V1 from us directly, or have registered a V1 App Store purchase to your account. This offer is available from our new upgrade page. Creative Collection content bundle now available to anyone who has already upgraded from V1 to V2 during the launch offer period If you already upgraded to V2 during the launch offer period, we also wanted to make sure you could retrospectively claim this new free content bundle. We have worked hard to make this a valuable gift, and have tried to cover various different use cases of our apps. The bundle includes some high-quality fonts, brushes, LUTs, icon assets and resources and, as mentioned above, is worth over £200. So, if you have already purchased V2 and you previously owned V1, you can claim this content for free as a special thank you for your support (in addition to the 40% discount you would have already received on your V2 purchase during the launch offer). To claim the Creative Collection, please visit our upgrade page and scroll down towards the bottom where there is a ‘CLAIM NOW’ link under ‘Already upgraded from V1 to V2? You can get the Creative Collection for free below’. After following the link, you’ll be taken through the validation step of checking your account as being someone who owned V1 and has purchased V2. The way we confirm this is by seeing a V1 purchase tied to your account, whether you purchased it directly from us or you registered an App Store purchase to your Affinity account. Claim your free content now We understand there will be some of you who did purchase V1 from an App Store but may not have ever registered it to your account (and as you probably don’t have V1 installed anymore, no longer have the ability to register it). In that case we will need to try to validate that manually with you. So, please first try getting the Creative Collection using the link above and if that fails, drop us an email with your Affinity ID to affinity@serif.com (subject: “Free Content”) and we will do our best to help. If it’s possible for you to dig out your original App Store receipt for your V1 purchase, it will speed up the process if you include that in your email to us. Other than that, thanks again for all your continued support. We hope you enjoy your gift! Thanks, Ash

Yeah it was something we had a fair amount of feedback on - that switching to node would be best after a convert to curves (as well as various other logic we have implemented around the node tool). We could give some thought as to whether a preference might make sense. Worth saying that hitting cmd-return and then V doesn't seem too terrible to quickly convert something to curves and go back to move tool, with a bit of muscle memory is pretty quick? Also to say it if you are not using short cuts then after a convert to curves double clicking outside of the object you've just converted (assuming on the background or something) should also put you back to move tool.

Hopefully you noticed that in our 2.0.3 update we added shift constrain when moving nodes in the warp tool. We will be adding other snapping options to warp nodes in the future.

Have you tried using the new (in V2) X-Ray mode of wireframe view? That shows all objects as slightly transparent (including image / pixel layers)

This should now be fixed in the latest update which we pushed last night (2.0.3) - you can get that from the App Store now...

2.0.3 iPad betas now available here (Photo coming soon) https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/62-ipad-beta-forums/ Trash can is back command controller toggle has been demoted to burger menu.

Yeah that's a fair comment, thanks.

It should just always remember your last state - we’ll sort it!

You can toggle the command controller on and off using the icon highlighted with the red box as shown here.

We could look at adding rename layer as a misc. shortcut available to set if anyone wants to. Should say too on Windows in V2 we added the ability after changing a layer name that tab would automatically take you to the next layer to rename which certainly helps massively when renaming a lot of layers. For some reason that didn't get added to macOS which we will get sorted!

Yeah agree, we'll get that sorted.
