Alfred

@GarryP @Alfred thank you both. I am going through it again this morning. The lighthouse graphic is my wife's logo. But you are right it's probably not necessary there on this page.
I will go through the other grammar issues you noted this morning.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn that it’s iPadOS 17 beta.

It could be great with "rotate"

Apps: All
Platforms: macOS and Windows
When in the move tool, as well as other object creation tools such as shapes, picture frames and artboard tool, pressing Return or Enter will now show a new dialog, allowing you to specify a precise distance you want to move your current selection. e.g. below I am moving the apple 100px to the left and 200px down. As you can see that also shows what it means in terms of what angle and distance that relates to. You can alternatively choose to manually specify distance and angle. 

The original position of the object is indicated with a light grey box.

In addition you can chose to duplicate the object to the new position, and also specify how many copies of it you want to make. In the below example I've moved the item 200px at a 45 degree angle and checked the duplicate box, and 5 copies. This results in a total of 6 apples.

 
As you are adjusting any of the values you will get a live preview of your result. You can choose to cancel the operation with the Cancel button (or Esc) or commit with the OK Button (or Return / Enter) or simply by clicking off the dialog.
The dialog will optionally remember it's previous values the next time you bring it up when you have "Previous Settings" checked, meaning you can move multiple objects one by one by the same amount (for example in a case where items are on different spreads / artboards or in other cases where achieving a multiple selection of them to begin with is difficult). A Reset button is also available to quickly zero all the values in the dialogs to start from scratch.

As well as manually typing the values in, you can also change them by click-drag on any of the labels, or using mouse roller when hovering over any of the input boxes.

Rotation

As has been requested during the beta of this feature we have now added the additional option of Rotation. This again makes it easy to rotate an object by a specific amount. It also opens up some useful options when used in combination with duplicate.

e.g. in the example below I have created a ring of 25 evenly spaced squares, by moving the transform origin of the square and choosing a rotation of 14.4 degrees with 24 copies. TIP: you don't need to get your calculator out as all of these fields accept equations. So in this case you could just type "360/25" in the Rotation field to work out 14.4 degrees is the required value.

You can also try playing with a rotation and distance step on duplicates for various effects. e.g. below a couple examples with a line and a star where copies are being stepped by both a distance and rotation:


 

It would be nice to have the option to make additional changes to an already created shape using the object creation data entry floating window, perhaps a Cmd Option (Ctrl Alt) click on the already created shape re-invokes the object creation data entry floating window for that shape to allow further adjustments to the shapes settings.

Apps: All
Platforms: macOS & Windows
In any of the shape tools, picture frame tools and artboard tool you can now cmd+click (macOS) or ctrl+click (Windows) to bring up a dialog to manually specify the size and other properties of the object you want to create. The new object will be created in the position that you clicked, and you have the option in the dialog to change whether that position relates to a specific corner, side or the centre of the shape being created.
For example, here I want to create a circle with 20mm diameter centred at the corner of the square. So I choose the Ellipse tool and then cmd / ctrl + click over the corner of the square. I then get the option to manually enter the size I want the circle to be, set the anchor position to be centre, and hit OK.

Each tool will remember the settings of the last time you created that shape. So in this case the next time I cmd+click with the Ellipse tool it will still be set to 20mm x 20mm anchored to centre.
Some additional notes about this feature:
When the dialog is up you can commit by clicking OK, hitting Return / Enter or clicking anywhere else on the document You can cancel by clicking Cancel or hitting Esc You can click-drag on any of the labels in these dialogs to change the values. So here you could click-drag on the "Width:" label for example. Hover + mouse roll over the values also changes them of course (along with Shift or Alt modifiers to increase / decrease steps made by a factor of 10). If you create a shape by dragging it out on your document, that will also set the W+H for the next time you cmd+click. e.g. if you drag out a rectangle at 100mm x 50mm and want to create another one you can just cmd+click and that size will be preset.

If I have a choice between a yes or a no, and no crashes, then give me yes every time!
 

I like it, because I like organization.

I did not noticed this in the beta announcement. I think I like it.

Goto  User Interface in settings, and change a setting like above.
 

This is my ‘go to’ page for a useful set of symbols that aren’t readily available via the keyboard:

Oh, I am on iPadOS 17 Beta. Well, I am quite sorry for wasting your time
 

You can also use Line Symbol Alt Codes

Welcome back to the Serif Affinity Forums, Les.
The RGB colour space has a much larger gamut (range of colours) than the CMYK colour space, so working in CMYK is the best way to avoid nasty surprises. In particular, brighter shades of orange and green are likely to be noticeably muted on conversion from RGB to CMYK.

The title is a bit vague about which software you have – are they both in iPad, or is one on iPad and the other on desktop? – but you can open V1 documents in the V2 software – on any platform – but, as soon as you save a document in V2, you cannot then open that V2 document in the V1 software – on any platform.

It seems like the OP has edited the post since I read it because that was vague too.

It was mentioned in the past but I think this is an OS setting only available for mac.

Thanks, my mistake. I can’t check right now, but I’ve no reason to doubt your assertion that those settings are unavailable.

Thanks for trhat Alfred

It would be good if we had an importer for native WritePlus *.stt files so that we could import entire ‘stories’ with their existing formatting intact, but it doesn’t look as though this is something that Serif intends to provide.

Thanks I didn't know that! 
Ok it works now! 🙂

For what it’s worth, Jef, I think they’re great value too! Even at full price it’s only $12 for the set, which already works out at less than 3 cents per brush.

Superb!!

Hi Folks,
I had some fun time animating a drawing I made when I was 40 years ago, when I was six years old. Animation was done in Moho Pro, but I happily used Affinity Photo for making all the cutouts and doing some stamping and tricks to make it work. And of course the great export persona (I might have used Affinity Designer for that tho, as flexible as the Affinity ecosystem is in just opening the same file with another Affinity app!)!

Hope you like it! 
 

I don’t know whether there is such a list, but couldn’t you simply install the trial version and test the things that matter to you?
