[Jagged Line]

I just tried this with a big circle and some text, but neither show that jaggedness here (neither in AD Beta nor in the release version). I used 600 and 300 dpi documents on a retina iMac.

What are your document settings and which form/font exactly did you use?

[Affinity sharing each other's documents?]

To be honest, I don't really get why an extra photo app is necessary - there's already the pixel persona in AD so they could be rolled into one, saving memory and saving the user the hassle of going back and forth between them. The only reason I can see would be some marketing thing.

Wishful thinking: something like "Affinity Complete" which is both AD and AP in one package. For, say, 99,- Euros I'd buy it in a minute. Maybe even with automatic switching between the personae, depending on the type of layer you have selected.

[Graphics tablets]

Unfortunately there's no keyboard shortcuts for pencil and brush size, so it' not possible to use the ring on an Intuos for that. Only for zooming and scrolling.

Pressure is taken into account, but not tilt. But then again, it's not Painter (though I wish I could rotate the whole drawing area ...).

[SPAM]

Somebody cleaned up already - thank you so much!

Seeing all this spam, it's hard to not start to hate Koreans ...

[Control naming of 1x, 2x, 3x files?]

The "@2x" etc. are the standard way of naming different icon sizes, so Mac developers will need just that (see here for Apple's documentation regarding this). Appending extensions is not necessary as explained in my answer to another question you had.

If you really need to change the names of (many) files, I highly recommend "Better Rename 9" (or familiarize yourself with the Terminal and the "mv" command). But please don't let them make AD a bloated program for minor features that only a handful of users need.

[AD export slices: can .png, .jpg, etc be part of the name?]

It is already - it's just not shown in the Finder by default (go to Finder preferences - CMD+J - and on the extended tab you can set it to always show extensions). You can check the full name by selecting the file in the Finder and type CMD+I (Menu File, Information).

[Importing/Exporting multiple page PDF's]

IMHO this shouldn't be of high priority (better squish the bugs ...). There are tons of (even free) utilities that can assemble single page PDFs to multi-page ones by simple drag and drop (PDF Toolkit, PDF Magic etc.).

[Improvement request: Deleting a mask]

Ah, good to know! It's a case of missing documentation then - I ran into it while reading the AD help and trying out things ...

[Improvement request: Deleting a mask]

Problem Description:

Masks cannot be deleted if disclosure triangle of masked layer or object is open.

 

Reproduction Steps:

Select an object or layer. Click on "Mask layer" in the layer palette. Click on the disclosure triangle to show the mask below the object/layer (if not already open).

 

Observed Results:

There's no (obvious?) way to delete the mask. Selecting the mask in the layer palette also selects its parent object/layer.

 

Expected Results:

It should be possible to select the mask alone in the disclosed state. It took me quite a while to figure out how to get rid of a mask without also deleting the masked object - the only workaround I found is to close the triangle, then click on the mask icon next to the layer/object icon and press "backspace".

 

[Can't open PSD files]

I get the parsing error message as well whenever I try to edit a photo from the Lightroom menu (as PSD, no matter if 8 or 16 bit, sRGB or ProPhoto).

[NEW File from clipboard contents]

I was searching for a topic about that! Nice to know it will be included.

[Umlaute]

Yes, it was intended as a hint for the AP devs.

[How To Create A Perfect Lemniscate?]

Thanks, Ronnie! B.t.w.: looking forward to part 2 of your Pumpkin Tutorial - it's great!

 

... whoops, I just realized you only announced it somewhere ... never mind ...

[How To Create A Perfect Lemniscate?]

I'm probably way too late with my answer, but just in case:
Go to the character overview in you Mac's menu bar (you might have to switch it on in System preferences first), type "Infinity" into the search field, click on the first character in the "Unicode name" section and you'll get presented with all kinds of that sign (depending on which and how many fonts you have installed). Use the text tool in AD, double click the sign in the character overview to insert it. Then just convert to a curve if you want to further tweak it.

 

Or just copy it from here and select your favourite font for it in AD: ∞

Apparently UTF-8 coding is not considered/read out correctly (yet); maybe an oversight, maybe just on the ToDo-list.
