The 500th thread about GUI …
Achim63 replied to mac_heibu's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on macOS threads
I agree wholeheartedly - dark grey on a little bit less dark grey makes it really difficult to see selections. Some more contrast would do the GUI good. Or drawing a white (rounded) rectangle around the selected tool. -

I'd define the snap grid according to my needs. Then turn snapping on. Draw first horizontal line, alt-shift-drag to next grid line and then press cmd+j as often as needed. Repeat for the vertical lines. It's faster done than written down. Though I'd also like to see a grid tool somewhere down the line, I see more important things on the roadmap.

Thank you, that's what I was looking for - but not on the other end of the context bar. This should rather be near the fill color selection - or the fill color field might be disabled or somehow greyed out while that checkmark is not set. I don't really get the sense of the checkmark, since I can set the fill to "none" regardless. So now this is an improvement request by a user blinded by a very crowded UI ;-)

I think this topic came up already, but I couldn't find it, so sorry if this is already answered: If I use the pen tool ("P" in the Draw Persona), set its stroke color to "none" and the fill to any color, on the second click of the pen tool the fill color switches back to "none", so I get an invisible object. I tried all kinds of color selections (context menu above and color wheel on the right) - after closing a form and starting the next, on second click it's back to none. It shows the previously selected color in the context menu bar again after finishing a shape or curve, but doesn't use it. This is very counter-intuitive - I can e.g. draw multiple rectangles without loosing the selected fill color - for the predefined forms it works as expected. Maybe I missed a user setting for that? I think it behaved differently before 1.2.1.

Since AFAIK emf doesn't support drawing of splines, Affinity wouldn't to themselves a favour with this - the exported files might look worse than the original. I think having SVG and PDF should be sufficient for all platforms.

RAW imports, cannot be shared?
Achim63 replied to AndreaR's topic in [ARCHIVE] Photo beta on macOS threads
Apple would be a bad idea - they are really slow with updating their RAW compatibility list. I even had to switch from Aperture to Lightrooom since Apple apparently simply stopped to support Samsung cameras at some point (which with hindsight was the right thing to do, since Aperture was dropped completely by Apple). So a dependency to a 3rd party could end up disastrous. Life would be much easier if the camera manufacturers would agree upon a common RAW format like DNG. -
Why then do you press Esc too many times? Sounds like "If I fill my glass of wine too many times, I end up over the pan puking" and trying to blame someone else for it. But I also think that using ESC to exit full screen was a very bad decision of Apple, maybe we should all open support tickets to make them change it.

Isolate object(s)

This sounds like a handy feature indeed. I'd like to have it. -
AD: Every segment, different attribute
Achim63 replied to Petar Petrenko's topic in Older Feedback & Suggestion Posts
I think this could end up very confusing. Why not simply cut your path with the node tool and Action:Break Curve before giving different attributes to each part? If you want to keep your fill, copy/paste the object before cutting it up. The app wouldn't know what exactly (between which nodes) to fill if your suggestion would be available. What would be nice, though: for now only one node can be broken at a time, it doesn't work on multiple nodes - I think it would make sense to be able to hit Cmd-a while the node tool is selected and then with the break action all selected nodes would be broken apart. -
No, unfortunatly not - that's one of the reasons for my idea to have it in AD itself.
