[[Multi] RTL language text support]

why is it so hard to support RTL languages?

thank you

 

It depends on the language you want to support (Arabic for example can be really hard, Hebrew much less so), but in general it is not very hard to implement RTL especially considering that they probably have engineers that are specialized in typography working for them.
My assumption is that they have made some very core components of their programs without considering RTL, and there is no easy way to make major changes now after a lot is built over it.
I'm not sure why wouldn't they make it one of their highest priority considering that about half of the freaking world is RTL, it seems to me a really bad decision.

I use designer and photo for few years now and every time I need to typeset something in my own language I have to fight the program to make it work, come on Serif...
This is a real deal breaker for a lot of designers, I don't know if I would've bought it in the first place if I knew it would take so long to implement something so basic.

Haha, my bad! You can see why I need this feature though
I meant discriminating naturally.

Not supporting RTL is the absolutely worse anti-feature Affinity currently has. You're outing half of the freaking world! Be PC, it makes tons of dough these days.

[Tab/Shift+Tab to rename next/previous layer]

When renaming layers, usually I like to rename them in batch. I'd be very happy to not have to click every time I want to rename a layer, but to use a key instead (the standard is tab to apply and rename next layer and shift+tab to apply and rename previous layer).

Thanks!

[Dual monitors, different resolutions, different GPUs, UI crash]

I'd gladly test it, where can I get the beta (if it's out)?

[Dual monitors, different resolutions, different GPUs, UI crash]

I have an unconventional setup on my windows machine that seems to trigger unhandled exceptions:
One monitor runs on a Geforce GT 440 (1080x1920) and the other one on my Intel I7 2600k integrated graphics (rotated 1050x1680).

I have Windows 10 build 1607, intel i7 2600k, nvidia Geforce GT 440, 16GB RAM.

Both Designer and Photo crash when moved (or when parts of the UI is moved) to the rotated monitor.

I'd be glad to share additional information if needed.

[Pressure sensitivity with Huion 1060Plus tablet on windows]

I feel stupid now, but that was it. It got me confused for good though - maybe it should be set to Automatic by default?
Anyway, thanks for the fast reply!

[Pressure sensitivity with Huion 1060Plus tablet on windows]

I downloaded the trial yesterday, and while the tablet works fine with photosop, krita and illustrator, Affinity designer does not response to pressure changes AT ALL.

I tried reinstalling the drivers, changing the brushes, fiddling with the setting, rebooting, and nothing seem to work.
