    Thanks for the clarification, Patrick! :)

    Does that mean the problem MEB referred to in the other thread (i.e. inability to run the trials on 10.7.x or 10.8.x) has now been fixed?

    Why would you realize, Brian? It's one of the silliest smiley shortcuts out there: a similar problem persists on CommunityPlus, where '8)' is treated the same way, so anyone typing parenthetical remarks such as "(on Windows 8)" or "(using DrawPlus X8)" gets the same undesirable outcome. Since we already have shortcuts like :​lol: and :​unsure: it would make sense to use :​cool: for the sunglasses.

    Does the new build work on all supported versions of OS X and macOS, including Lion and Mountain Lion? :unsure:
  5. Alfred
    Copy the text from the line below. There's a zero-width space between the 'B' and the ')', preventing it from being interpreted as a smiley shortcut. B​)

    No, Eduardo: not a promotion but a 'promotion'. In this particular context, those quotation marks are very important! ;)

    I think most of us could live with that! I would personally find it preferable to the status quo, where I can't use the right and left mouse buttons simultaneously unless I have my trackball plugged in to my laptop.

    Those surprises are so-o-o much harder to deal with than the expected ones, aren't they!! :P

    As discussed in this thread, you might also like to take a look at FastStone Image Viewer and/or IrfanView.

    The main problem with the search function is the lack of alternative keywords, which means that you have to know the right term to use in your search. A prime example that comes up quite often is "skew": the Help refers to it as "shear", and the term "skew" isn't linked to it, so if you type skew into the Help search box the only result you get is about 2.5D parallel projections.

    That's also one of the many options offered in Thumbnail mode in IrfanView.
  12. Alfred
    No, I was really only recommending it for its scanner support. It doesn't do cataloguing as such, but it does have some useful thumbnail options.

    There are so many posts here every day that some are bound to get overlooked, especially since there is no way to filter the list of posts by number of replies. If your question goes unanswered for more than a day or two, post to the thread again to 'bump' it to the top of the list. Edit: I've just done a quick search. Of all the threads you've created in the past year, this thread is the only one that has not yet had any replies.

    You just need to hide all the layers that you don't want to export. Select all of the layers except the one that you want to export, click on any of the selected objects' visibility checkboxes to hide all of the selected layers, and then export the whole document.

    It's worth noting that FastStone Image Viewer is only free for personal use. That should be fine for an amateur (whether or not he's in exile in the Slovak Republic!) but a single lifetime licence for commercial use costs US$34.95. A cheaper solution for external scanner support would be IrfanView, for which a commercial licence costs only 10 euros.

    Patience you must have, my young padawan.

    It would be great to have gradients which can follow any path, but (given that the developers already have their work cut out to include all the features in the current roadmap) I don't expect to see this in 1.x.

    I'm not overly fond of Studio tabs or panels being called "palettes". That term is generally used to refer to collections of fill swatches, so there is potential for confusion if the same term is used for something else.

    According to this list, additional formats supported by iOS 10.2 and macOS 10.12.2 include Canon EOS M5 but not M6.

    "Never B♯, never B♭, always B♮!"

    Nicely done. You might like to consider taking it a step further and producing an entire alphabet like this one. :)

    I can't find an option for downgrading to PDF/X-3:2002 (which would be version 1.3). If your client requires a version 1.3 PDF, I think you'll need to export to PDF/X-1a. The main difference between X-3 and X-1a is that a PDF/X-3 file can contain colour-managed data. As Mike suggests, you should ask your client why they have a specific requirement for the older PDF/X-3 standard.

    Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, Ziv. :) It looks as though your screenshots failed to attach. Please try again, and make sure that you press the 'Attach This File' button after browsing to each file: files don't get attached automatically when you browse to them.

    Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, Robert. :) PDF/X-3:2003 files are PDF 1.4 files, but with the restriction that they do not contain any transparency (and JBIG2 compression is not used to compress any images in the file).
