I just found your post and it's an older post, but just for future reference: perhaps they created the custom shortcut keys after your post, but did you know you can add a shortcut in preferences to open the Guide management window?

I can't find a reason why it's limited by a tool and it would speed up the workflow a lot -

I was also looking for such a feature in the program and found your thread

Aaaaah... damn... how can I not try that... silly me. thanks!

I am trying to use the 'Grid and Snapping Axis' to set it to isometric, but somehow in both Designer as Photo I'm unable to set the mode or even spacing/divisions, because these controls are grayed out (disabled). (Using version 1.6.4.104)
So I want to use the 'Advanced Mode' like the help says to set it to isometric, but can't switch the mode. Can't find anything on this on the forum nor the online help.
When looking at this video: [https://vimeo.com/134814753] (although older mac version) it looks like these buttons should be enabled.
Am I missing something here? Do I need to set something elsewhere in order to change the grid settings?
Thanks in advance!

It would be fantasic to finally have some right alternative to AfterEffects without being locked to the crazy Adobe-license system!!
I'm looking everywhere for an affordable program to especially replace AfterEffects (and indeed it would be nice to have a replacement for Animate CC too, although I'm mostly animating for web writing code). Natron is a nice free program but crashes a lot and doesn't have a timeline to do some editing.
I'd rather pay for professional, stable and actively maintained software. I believe there definitely is a gap to fill for a lot of people here!
(Well, at least there finally is a very decent alternative to Photoshop and Illustrator now! That at least made my week! Affinity is great)

Thanks for your quick response @MEB
I didn't mean SVG effects, but rather some intelligent way to 'flatten' effects on vectors (but keep them as vectors) while saving to SVG.
Mostly on the color-effects, since most of the time it seems like the effects only have to change colors or brightness.
But I understand that's a lot of work to develop. It was a suggestion, 'cause I definitely would use effects a lot if they were outputting vectors.
For now I guess I just skip these in my outputs and maybe there will be some real vector effects in the future. Would be great!
Thanks again

I'm using designer for Vector graphics (Illustrations / animations) online. So I was surprised to see some features generate base64 images inside the SVG fileformat while a lot of times it shouldn't be nececary;

Why does the 'Outline' Layer effect use rasterisation on vector objects?
I would expect this to generate another vector-shape while exporting to SVG that is slightly larger than the object -
Why does 'Color Overlay' layer effect use rasterisation on vector objects?
I would expect this to change the color of a shape fill, or intelligently generate an overlay vector-shape while exporting to SVG. I'd say that could work? -
Why do the color-changing Adjustment layers rasterize while exporting to SVG?
I would expect the fills and stroke colors to be changed according to the adjustment color results while exporting to SVG.
For example: changing the levels in an Adjustment layer on top of a white rectangle should only change the color of that rectangle while exporting to SVG,
but now it generates a base64 rasterimage within the SVG. -
Perhaps even blend modes could be calculated during export to SVG (by some intelligent way of slicing vectorobjects and stuff), although a lot more work for the developer
Although I personally don't really need thisone, this would definitely be a huge step forward in creating artful graphics and a step ahead of Adobe!
I'm working with a lot of SVG files on a daily basis for illustrations and animations online. So I'm always looking for ways to keep images as sharp and small in filesize as possible and optimize. It would be great if, where possible, effects could generate vector-outputs if possible. So affect vector-colors (intelligently calculating where needed) instead of generating base64 images inside the SVG. Thanks!!!
And keep up the great work. This program is briljant! -

Nice, thanks for your advice @MagicOfIllustration! I was looking for this!

+1 For close all Tabs!!
+2 For close all tabs to the right!!
(And close other tabs would be great to have too!)
btw I was looking for this in the context (rightclick) menu of the document tabs, like in Chrome etc. Would be a intuitive location for me for such a thing!

I was looking for the exact same thing.
Working on different objects on the same illustration and need to switch between guide sets (one guide set for one object, one for the other), but now I need to delete all guides and have to create them all from scratch again (no guide safe option available) to switch between the two guidesets...
[edit] If there would be something like a guide-layer that would do the trick; then you can switch a layer on and off if you want to switch guide sets! Lock and even scale the guide set and whatever more!
