Having search boxes in panels is always important especially when you are working on a compact screen. Without the search box you have to do a lot of tedious scrolling a small space. This is made worse if you have several panels stacked on top of each other.
The reason I thought of quick apply is it uses the same search box in the center of the screen that the last two versions of macOS spotlight use (and Bulter, Launchbar, etc.) I don't think Adobe has brought this tool to their other apps yet... I wonder why? It might be something to think about for future versions but I probably wouldn't put it at the top of the list.
The 'spotlight search' is just the little search box at the bottom of the styles panel - nothing quite as fancy as the other feature you mentioned, sorry :(

I am really glad the eye picker is so much easier to use now! Using the "I" button for the shortcut makes sense to me and keeps it consistent with Adobe programs which many people will keep using for quite some time.
I would like to know more about the styles spotlight like search. Are you talking about the search box at the top of the text styles palette? Or is this some kind of "quick apply" like tool like in InDesign? With quick apply you fit command spacebar and get a spotlight like tool to apply an attribute to an object.

By the way I should mention that this isn't my primary machine. I am not trying to do all my work on my MacBook. I am sure there is some heavy duty graphics work that would bring it to it's knees.

With Affinity I mainly do vector. My photography setup with is mostly with Lightroom since I need the cataloging and batch processing features.

To a lot of people Illustrator is not a very well liked program. I see no value in making a clone of Illustrator without a subscription. The first time I used Affinity I was overjoyed that it was not exactly the same.

I wonder if most people would skip downloading the minor bug fix update to check out the release with the major new features? Since people already have a stable version of the product most might not bother with small bug fix update.
I would very much like to see the Affinity products put on a 2 tier cycle.
1. Beta releases for features that are baked in but not yet ready for the public consumption. Here, the community members can report bugs, etc.
2. Alfa releases or bleeding edge releases for features in development cycle.
That way the community members can comment quite early on the features proposed by Serif and hone in on how they expect these feature to work.
Basically, it gives Serif a very early feedback on the features being developed.
My 2cents.
-
Yeah, some of the menu items could go to the Window menu. I could also see something like a new layout menu where you could put items like guides, rulers, snapping, etc. Then again when Serif comes out with the layout program it will be entirely based around layout so maybe that wouldn't make sense.
Maybe move all the Studio panels from the View menu to the Window menu...
-
I have always thought that the view menu was extremely long. It would be helpful if there was a way to cut that in half by reassigning some menu items to different places. I haven't taken the time to figure how that would be done.
-
Exporting to another format is what I have been doing at the moment. Having just one version of the file would be preferable but maybe it's not possible to make a plugin that can do that.
-
El Capitan works great! LOTS of bug fixes from Yosemite!!
-
Is there some kind of plugin that would allow me to do this?
-
Ok good. I have heard some mixed reviews on how well it worked so it helps to get a lot of confirmation from others. I just noticed 10.11.2 came out this morning so it looks like it might be a good time to update. I am downloading it now.
-
I know that a lot of people here are using the CS6 Suite on Mac so I wanted to ask if anyone is using it on El Capitan?
-
I noticed this in the new beta:
- Improved canvas rotation detection logic (to avoid accidentally rotating while zooming). -
MatP,
Yes, I only use Wacom Intuos tablets (a 5 and a Pro.) I am actually not so concerned about the gestures as much as I am about having full 360º rotation. Photoshop has pretty much nailed feature. It's been just about perfect since CS3. I don't really mind using my pen to do the rotation since I am using it to draw with at the time anyways.
-
I think I ran into an artboard bug. When I draw an artboard the default artboard will disappear. The objects on the page will remain though.
-
BTW my specs are Wacom 5 and Wacom Pro on a 2012 Mini.
-
Are bleed marks viable on the screen? I set bleeds under document preferences but I don't see anything. I see the bleed option under print; is that the only way to view the bleeds? To print the document?
-
Andy, I am able to pull the rotation gesture off with Apple Preview but not AD. In Mac OS settings I have rotation checked as well as the setting for rotation on AD. Preview rotates only by 45 degree increments.
-
I realize that you said there won't be any new features in this release but I had a question on how canvas gesture support works. Does it only rotate by 45 degree increments? It looks like that is the only way it works. If that is the case I would really, really like Photoshop style canvas rotation that can rotate to any degree.
-
The rotation gesture works for me in apps like Preview so I would think it is turned on under Mac OS settings. The rotation in preview doesn't work exactly the way I wanted it to. I was hoping it would rotate more like Photoshop where I could pick any angle I want rather then just 45º increments. That is more important to me then gesture support. If any developers are reading this please add that!
-
Canvas rotation gestures still not working.
-
The canvas rotation gesture hasn't been working for me but it has been working for other people apparently. I can rotate by 45º from the menu item but can't do freeform rotate from the gesture.

Bug: My screen will flicker most times when I add a shape or make a click with the pen tool. At times the artboard will disappear and other times everything will disappear.
