It's basically a square crop tool. It will be great if it added "Irregular Crop Tool" option.
We already have an irregular crop option, Arun, although it's more like the 'Crop to Top/Bottom Object' command that you're used to in DrawPlus. Draw a filled shape on top of the object that you want to crop, go to the Layers panel and drag the new shape's thumbnail on top of the other object's thumbnail. As in DrawPlus, the cropping object remains editable. :)

There's no need to wait for an email, Smokey. You'll always be able to find a link in the first post to the pinned thread at the top of the Affinity Designer on Windows forum.

So what makes text linking special? Like all the other features, some users need it, others never will.
The same could be said of bullets and numbering, but Dave Harris has stated that once that has been added to Publisher because it's needed there, it will be added to the other apps, too. So why is the feature being treated as a special case?
Manual creation of a bulleted list is pretty straightforward. Manually flowing text from one frame to another is tedious enough when you're setting it up initially, but if you subsequently have to reflow the text because you've added or removed something then it's likely to become a bit of a nightmare.
-
I think it's just their system, I notice that they never remove obscure old books, either, even though the one copy they had was sold a few years ago, they just keep it there ad infinitum as currently unavailable. :(
Yes, but ... this isn't an old book that they no longer sell, it's a new book that they're apparently not going to be selling!

The Guides Manager also accepts simple arithmetic operators & can be switched to display in percent. So you can do things like entering 100/3 & 200/3 in percent mode to divide the page into 3 sections.
Alternatively, keep the current measurement units displayed and enter things like 100%/3 or 200%/3.

Welcome to the Affinity Forums, TheViralGriffin. :)
If you want to be able to undo 'Add' when it's too late to choose the Undo command, hold down the Option/Alt key while clicking on the 'Add' icon on the Geometry toolbar. This will create a compound object which you can pull apart at any time.

In general, when we have a Publisher feature complete that we think also belongs in Designer, we'll include it in Designer as soon as it is ready. (The caveat is that there are some features we know you'd like to see in Designer, that we don't think belong in it.)
I hope you'll have a rethink about keeping linked text frames out of the Designer feature set.

Please make sure that Aero is NOT needed in the Final Build of this software.

It is not being sold on Amazon.co.uk as we would prefer to sell it directly. Amazon can set their own prices and obviously take a big cut too.
If it isn't going to be sold on Amazon.co.uk, it seems rather odd that they have this listing for it! :o

I would suggest dragging horizontal and vertical guides onto the page and drop them anywhere. Then open the Guides Manager (View menu), select one, edit the value and press Enter/Return to move it, then do the other guide the same way.
Alternatively, save yourself some work by opening the Guides Manager without first dragging any guides onto the page. When you click on the 'Add new horizontal/vertical guide' icon at the bottom of either of the two panes in the Guides dialog, the new guide will be placed halfway down/across the page.

That value is actually correct/valid in HTML/CSS.
Yes, that's what I meant by my "this is shorthand" comment. The colour specified by "#000C09" is almost black, since it comprises no red and only a small amount of green and blue; the colour specified by "#C09" is heliotrope, with lots of red, no green, and a healthy dollop of blue.
-
When using the Colour panel's option to "Copy Colour to Clipboard as Hex," the resulting value may have five digits if the red value is less than 16. For instance, RGB(15,12,9) copies to the clipboard as "#F0C09". It should be "#0F0C09".
It's even worse for a colour such as RGB(0,12,9), which copies to the clipboard as "#C09". For CSS purposes, this is shorthand for "#CC0099" (which has no green, and a large red component instead of none at all).

In the Pixel Persona, go to the Select menu and choose 'Invert Pixel Selection' (Ctrl+Shift+I).

I see, I think! As you may have guessed, I've never used Illy. :)
-
The term "hex" is short for hexadecimal; i.e. base sixteen. RGB colours, especially for web documents, are often expressed as six-digit hexadecimal numbers. There are many sites such as color-hex and ColorPicker.com where you can find the colour codes that you need.

the thread is about lining up text frames...
Well, perhaps. The OP did write:
I can't align as example bottom edge of font to something else cause the alignment will be for the box not the text
-
Why do you need to move the middle, Jim? Can't you just move the start to achieve the same effect?
-
by seamless, I just meant continuous duplicates
Ah, OK. The attached is an example of what I would call "seamless". :)
-
Hi Ammar,
The alignment will go off the bottom of the text and not its frame, just turn Snapping on and you will see :)
The problem with this is that other objects will snap to the very bottom of the text, not the baseline. So they will align to the baseline of a word like "baseline" (ignoring any slight overhang of the bowl of the 'b') but they will align to the bottom of the lowest descender (e.g. the 'g' in "alignment").
-
Another method for creating a seamless tile is the replicate option.
No, Brian, that's a method for replicating the tile after you've created it. ;) BTW, your example isn't seamless! :P
The replicate option can also create a scale difference.
When you 'power duplicate', you can not only scale the copy but also rotate it. :)

There is an earlier thread about this issue here: History of object.

Thanks for the advice, Christmas has come early this year :)

Delivery man turned up in between the freezer man and the Ikea man - a good morning! I do live in the centre of the universe, though, Greater Manchester :)
Going by the other items in the pic, I can't help wondering whether it's really an early Christmas present or actually a late birthday present! Or perhaps it's a bit of both. ;)

MaryLou is in the US. Unlike European keyboards, the standard US keyboard doesn't have an 'Alt Gr' key. ;)
