Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @Santosh Upadhyaya. The Affinity apps currently lack the ability to handle any Brahmic/Indic Unicode scripts correctly, and addressing the issue will require more than just a patch. A major update to the text shaping engine and associated OpenType feature support will be needed.

What do you mean by “exported inside“? If you put a 100px by 100px image on a 90px by 90px artboard, it will be clipped to the artboard so that only 81% of it is visible. If you output it (e.g. by printing) at 300ppi it will be minuscule.

if you purchase from the Affinity Store — but not the Mac App Store or the Microsoft Store — your purchase is covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Given that you’ve been shown the full list of supported export formats and Portable Float Map format isn’t on that list, your inference is entirely reasonable.

If you’ve used a barcode font, is it TTF, OTF, or Postscript Type 1, and is it freely available or did you have to purchase it?

Did you mean to say “Bazzite !”?? For automatic conversion of the ‘xD’ shortcut you need to press the space bar immediately after typing it (after which you can backspace if you don’t want a space before the exclamation mark).

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @JPGSVG. You could have asked pre-sales questions here and/or used the free trial to find out whether the app meets your expectations, but if you purchased from the Affinity Store (not the Mac App Store or the Microsoft Store) within the past 14 days then your purchase is covered by a money-back guarantee.

The options shown there are only the ones that apply to the highlighted exported format (which in that screenshot is JPEG).

You can’t find what? If you’re referring to the Home Screen, tap on the button in the top left-hand corner (the one with the left-pointing arrow next to a 3 by 3 grid).

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @devinswett. Does the following help?

No, that isn’t exactly what the OP wants. With ‘Save As…’ you start working with the new copy, as you say, but ‘Save a Copy’ would save a new copy while continuing to work with the current copy. A subtle difference, and either way works for me, but it seems that it doesn’t suit everybody!

In the Photo persona in APh2 on iPad I get exactly the same as I got in the Pixel persona in AD2 on iPad, namely a ‘Downloading…’ message but no brushes added.

I can tell in AD2 on iPad because it gets added when I use the ‘Import Brushes…’ option while I’m in the Designer persona. In the Pixel persona I see ‘Downloading…’ but no brushes are added.

On the Home Screen, tapping on one of the three-bar ‘hamburger’ menu icons gives you access to the ‘Save’ and ‘Save As’ options for the associated file (together with ‘Rename’ or ‘Show in Files’, depending on the location of the file).

The shared file format means that you do have the option of trialling one app after another so that you can continue to work on the same test files, and the money-back guarantee on purchases from the Affinity Store (not the Mac App Store or the Microsoft Store!) effectively gives you up to 14 days of extra testing time, but a standard trial length of 21, 30 or even 60 days would be widely welcomed.

That certainly looks very similar! The parent has a smaller circle than the child, but both have a black stroke, and in each case the ‘square’ has an odd size and an uneven stroke.

And I reiterate that there are various reasons why the user might not know. Unlike *.macro (Macros) files and *.macros (Library) files which have different extensions to distinguish between single macros and collections of macros, brush files don’t have different file types according to whether they’re vector or raster, so the user is dependent on naming conventions and/or separate notes.

Exactly! And for those to whom clicking to dismiss these messages constitutes a “hardship”, there could be an option not to show such messages again.

I don’t remember offhand, and I’m not in a position to check right now, but any message that you do get neglects to inform you that the brushes aren’t available for use.

Those messages are not equivalent. The second and third messages merely tell you that your document has been printed or saved, with no further information supplied. The first one tells you what kind of brushes have been installed: this is particularly important in AD on iPad, where the brushes will only be available if you were in the relevant persona at installation time. Perhaps they “should” know, but there are various reasons why they might not. The app has the information, so why not share it with the user in an easily accessible form?

There’s a *.macros file (with an s on the end of the filename extension) attached to the original post in this thread, so it’s to be expected that it can only be imported into the Library panel, not the Macros panel. The latter is solely for use with single macros.

It really would be better if there were a proper notification that the user has to dismiss, instead of a ‘toast’ that controls its own disappearance.

Same here. As I indicated earlier, I believe that’s pretty standard.

If you want to maintain or force pixel alignment, don’t enable Move by Whole Pixels (MWP). Its purpose is to maintain any non-alignment, and in furtherance of that objective it overrides Force Pixel Alignment (FPA).

To ‘tag’ @NathanC and others as Nathan tagged you — and I’ve now tagged him — type an @ sign immediately followed by the first few characters of their username. When the name you want is displayed in the dropdown list, click on it to get a button showing the name on a blue background, like this: @KLE-France.
