Please reply in this forum to comment on any fixes which are in this list (in particular to let us know if you notice that something we say is fixed isn't!)

michael-o reacted to thomaso in Pantone as Spotcolors in a custom (system) palette
System palettes don't store Spot colours. Create a Document palette first and import the clients Spot colours there. You recognize a Spot colour in the Swatches panel by the tiny circle symbol on its squared colour swatch.

To show a screenshot to the forum just drag it to your editor window or use the "choose files…" link below. This is more comfortable than a link to another website and shows the image directly in the forum's post.

michael-o got a reaction from stokerg in Affinity Designer / Publisher
Try to disable all the accesses in the security settings. After I disabled them, the apps open fast a.f. and all files are opening.

Thank you all. This actually helped. This is crazy, how macOS is interfering increasingly into a sleek workflow.
Also, the OS adds from version to version the settings on top to the previous without replacing them. Maybe (I am speculating) also this was troublsome.
Now I can open everything and all the files are opening quicker.

If your desktop and documents folders are synced with iCloud (check in the system settings), it can take a very long time to open files in it…
You should try to just wait…

Too add, Michael sent my 2 Files (AFPub und AFDe) via PM and I could open both files on my Windows machine.

Hi @michael-o,
You can also try this:
click Apple > System Settings > Privacy & Security > Files and Folders > expand each app and please disable 'iCloud Drive' for each Affinity app and then try opening a file again and let me know the results

Vectorstyler is another one that can open native illustrator files

michael-o reacted to amauriswill in ALTERNATIVE to After Effects
Hey Affinity Team,
This is SERIOUS we need a After Effects alternative from YOU. I know you know how good it is to bring your PS designs to life by importing your layers into AE.
One of the best features of Adobe is the ability to import layers and elements between programs. You can prepare your designs in PS and import the layers into AE for animation.
And that's something that WE NEED from YOU!
Let us know if there's a way to do that (with a third party app or if you're working on a solution for it). We love you, and you know that... That's why we ask you for this.
If you need volunteers for the development, design process or UX, I'm opened to help with that (no money on the table)
Thanks a Million!

michael-o reacted to Ash in 2.4 new features and improvements list
Hi All,
Below is the list of all new feature and improvements which are included in the 2.4 beta (bug fix list is available here).
To learn more about these features please click on the link to go to each feature's dedicated post. To give feedback or report bugs against any of these features please reply to that same post (also check out bug reporting and feedback tips).
Layer States added to Affinity Designer and Affinity Publisher DWG and DXF Export added to Affinity Designer Set Selection Box Double click / tap to switch from node to move tool Filename available as variable in Export Persona Ability to lock insertion target Space modifier for Lock Children Space Horizontal / Vertical now considers key object Size / Rotate objects to same 32-bit HDR PNG support added (PNG Third Edition) Additional RAW format support Getting the 2.4 beta
If you have not enrolled into the beta program yet and would like to take part, you can do so here. This will immediately give you access to the latest 2.4 beta builds to try for yourself.
If you are already enrolled in the beta program you have two options:
1. If you still have the 2.3 beta installed, you can now run up those beta versions and you will be prompted to update them to the 2.3 beta.
2. If you have uninstalled the 2.3 beta, you will need to go back to Your Account -> Downloads and product keys and find your previous order for the Affinity Beta Software Program, and you can download the 2.4 beta from there.
Thanks,
Ash

michael-o got a reaction from Haitch in PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE implement already the export and import of App-presets
@Ash This has been asked now for so many years over and over again. I really don't understand, why this small small extra is not there yet:
when updating / checking beta / changing the computer / reinstalling a clean version of Affinity Suite, I have to set up everything over and over again:
presets for panel spaces / layouts toolbar settings app settings in general I understand, there are priorities and other extras your team is working on. But this is not an extra, it is a basic thing. Other applications let you at least get into the library of the MacOS and reposition their app's files to get the prefs working elsewhere. With Affinity even this does not work.
I am a supporter and big advocate for Affinity. Left my Adobe world behind years ago. In the beginning I understood you have more important features to build. But the frustration about this small small thing is growing. And I am wasting once again my time if I want to test Beta as I need to set up the whole app-trio again. I really do not get, why one can not export the preferences of the settings and import them withing the same 1.x and 2.x -system at least.

Yep, that's still a major issue.
But as I said, since there is already some progress, they seem to be aware.

michael-o got a reaction from Ricardo Sanchez in Affinity Publisher 2.2: Delete key no longer working
Thank you. And please consider a sync feature through our accounts for settings, spaces, shortcuts etc.
-
michael-o got a reaction from Ricardo Sanchez in Affinity Publisher 2.2: Delete key no longer working
Thank you for your solution.
But this is kind of weird and not practical at all: As it took me now years to establish extra shortcuts, it is a really non-solution to restore all of them and then reconfigure. Especially as the settings of Affinity are not synced through all the devices. A sync feature is such a contemporary feature, it is a shame Affinity Suite does not have it. I cannot restore 3 apps on 3 devices and then set them up on one, save them, import on the other ones and hope it works.

michael-o got a reaction from loukash in V2 is a downgrade
Out of curiosity, I checked your previous posts.—It is good to know the person one is taking to in that other thread about layers.—And wow, what a positive approach on any topic you take here in the forum.
For somebody who obviously HATES HATES HATES V2 you are quite active to spread hate, sarcasm, and most important to tell us, YOU WILL NOT KEEP V2. We (I dare to speak for the majority) couldn't care less, if one individual will use another product instead of V2. Nobody forced anybody to buy and use the update.
As said, a big wow.

michael-o got a reaction from loukash in Bad design decisions in new refined layers panel (some no-no's)
It's worth mentioning, naming (!) your layers/groups is the pro way to go.

michael-o reacted to Aongus Collins in I LOVE V2
Agreed! Three of the new features in Designer are exactly what I wanted, and non-destructive raw processing in Photo will be very useful.
-
michael-o reacted to StuartRc in I LOVE V2
Absolutely!...couldn't agree more...'There is nothing you cannot do'.... I like that! .The real discussion should be about what you can learn and achieve.. especially with the newly added tools and features...not whether you not appreciate the colour of an icon or shape of a button.
Well said😀

michael-o got a reaction from Cealcrest in I LOVE V2
If Affinity will ever change their model, the people here complaining about the low fee will be to blame. Their greed, lack of buisness model knowledge and marketiung strategies, the self-sentered way of thinking. It is so short sighted and destructive. Terrible behaviour.
