    Alfred got a reaction from mopperle in On a point of order regarding removing my post that suggested a specific technique   
    Too many occurrences of the word “that”!  And rather lacking in punctuation, too, which results in the reader having to do a lot of work to unravel the meaning.

    Of course it can! ‘Community led’ simply means that decisions are informed by views that members of the community have expressed. There is no obligation on company officials to inform community members about the nature of any decisions or the process by which those decisions were reached.

    It can be done in exactly the same way it is now, via the feedback & suggestions forums, & the beta program.
    But the point is Serif has already been acquired by Canva so we are already in this "new age" you keep talking about, & the policy has not changed. Please just accept it & move on.

    Alfred got a reaction from William Overington in If Serif moves to Subscription based biz model, can they cripple use of existing apps with an update?   
    Not necessarily. The way Adobe seems to do things is that you can reactivate your subscription as and when the need arises, so that instead of paying for a whole year you can pay for just a month or two. The cost per month will be higher, of course, but the overall cost will be significantly lower than it would be for a largely unused annual subscription.

    Alfred reacted to Fernando Ribeiro in Suggestion - implement crop to bounds / crop to opaque on the crop tool   
    When creating a panorama, the Crop tool offers the options Crop to bounds and Crop to opaque.
    Crop to bounds is similar to unclip canvas, where any pixel that is not 100% transparent is visible. Crop to opaque crops the image so that no transparent pixel is visible.
    My suggestion is to implement this functionality in the normal crop tool.
    Scenario: I have an image that needs to be rotated to make the content straight. I then need to crop the image to remove the transparent areas that appear at the edges. The crop to opaque functionality would do this in one click, instead of having to go to each edge and move the corner.

    WYSIWYG Web Builder (from Pablo Software Solutions) is often recommended for users of Serif WebPlus who are looking for alternative software that offers responsive or adaptive capabilities.

    A beta version is a version in which new functions, even in a core version, are to be tested by a wide range of users. With an alpha, only a few test it. A beta is like a good wine, it matures over time. You were not perfect when you were born, but over the years you have developed into the person you are today.

    Alfred reacted to GarryP in Delete artboard - delete contents? 'don't ask again' checkbox   
    What is the context within which the ‘don’t ask again’ would apply?
    Only for this document until I close and re-open it and then start asking again? Only for this document but every time I open it? For this document and every document I open/create in this application session but go back to asking the next time I launch the application? For this document and every document I open/create from this point on, whether I have closed the application or not, until I change the setting? Or something else? Also, I’m curious as to what kind of workflow you have that deleting Artboards is such a common occurrence that this would be useful.

    Welcome to the forums @Amduee
    These forums are for the Affinity suite of applications.
    Have you use any of the Affinity applications to design your web pages?
    The nearest you can probably get to a responsive layout with the Affinity suite is by using Constraints (in Designer only) but that probably won’t do most of what you want.
    While you can use the Affinity applications to design static web pages, none of them is (in my opinion) ideal for anything more complex than that.
    I would recommend using an application/service that was specifically designed for that sort of thing.

    Alfred reacted to Conny Gu in How to let the brush don't overlap their color?   
    Hi, if I only turn the opacity to 100%, it won't work, but after I turned off the "Wet Edges" also, then, it works...  Thanks very much for the answer!

    Interesting. Until now I thought SEPA was nothing more than the acronym for the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.

    It would be clearer if it were expressed as ‘Version 2.4.2 of Publisher 2 is now available’ or ‘the latest version of Publisher 2 (2.4.2) is now available’.

    Hi @Andy7771 and another warm welcome to the forums,
    See how you get on with the attached files...
    You will likely need to adjust them to suit the requirements of Autodesk Fusion but hopefully, they provide you with a good starting point...

    Alfred reacted to Cecilie in Layer appears transparent, but transparency set to 100 %. Regardless of stacking order.   
    Thank you for your quick reply, Alfred!
    I simply typed on a layer. You can see that it is grey, not black.
    In another screenshot, I show you the transparency. Closeup with red so it is easier to see.
    Attaching the fully expanded layers panel, too.

    You can see the effect error correction has when including a logo of differing sizes which highlights the benefit of being able to set the Error Correction level manually when creating QR codes, something which is supported in the QR Code generator library...
    As has been suggested above, adding UI for all the different QR Options would make the creation of QR codes much more user-friendly...
    You'll need to test by clicking on each image to view it full screen. Note: I've only tested these using the iPhone camera's built-in QR scanner.
    Error Correction Medium | Quartile | High
    All three QR Codes scan without issue...

     
    Error Correction Medium | Quartile | High
    The QR Code to the left set with Error Correction set to Medium fails to scan but with Error Correction set to both Quartile and High, the QR Codes scan...

    Welcome back to the Serif Affinity Forums, @Cecilie.
     

    Your question is impossible to answer without a great deal more information from you. If you can’t share the document here, please attach a screenshot of the Layers panel, fully expanded, and briefly describe the steps you took to get to that point.

    Alfred reacted to EricP in Line Width Tool   
    Once the artifacts will be sorted out, this feature will be great. Some nice things can be obtained quickly by iteratively applying line width and Expand Stroke several times. I find the results more organic, less mechanical than contour tool due to varying line width, which can be interesting in some applications.

    The values I have used are only intended as an example. The OP would have to obtain the exact values from the print shop anyway.

    Alfred got a reaction from Komatös in Can I make a dust jacket with Publisher?   
    My first thought was that a jacket flap width of 105 mm is rather large for a book whose front cover is 210 mm wide, and that 70 mm — i.e. one third of the front cover’s width — should suffice, but when I looked it up online a few minutes ago I saw a recommendation of 50% to 60% (or 105 mm to 126 mm for the present example).

    Alfred reacted to Archangel in Expressing One's Self using Art and Visual Riddles   
    Thank you @Alfred. I often get dark thoughts with my mental health condition and neurological issues. Last night was a very difficult one and expression through creation was a way to get some distance from my darkness.
    No offence was intended but it's expression in creation helped by freeing me, a little, from the overwhelming sense of fear and despair that accompany my condition.
    Create something beautiful out of darkness and then take stock of oneself. I am holding on and am practicing self soothing techniques and taking rest.
    My state of mind is proving difficult to deal with but I am weathering the storm and allowing it to pass over me.
    I may disappear for a while on here but will continue to practice my coping strategies.
    I will hide the thread if you think it inappropriate.
    @SolidSnake2003 Thank you for your comment. Creating it gave me a little leeway and allowed me to acknowledge the way I felt.
    Sometimes creativity can help with voicing ones feelings and allowing a sense of accomplishment which can be part of the process. I will seek support if things do not improve.
    I'm glad you think it looks cool. It's nice to know that something simple can still be made in the darkest of times.
