Jokes aside, I agree and I think that having dots instead checkboxes doesn’t improve anything at all. No one asked for tiny, tiresome dots to replace the checkboxes, as far as i know. It doesn’t improve anything upon V1, and I don’t think many users would request dots over checkboxes. They’re tiresome after extensive period of work, and they’re harder to check and uncheck especially on the iPad. My two cents of an opinion.

I try to accommodate with all these changes, but I (still) miss the checkboxes on iPad as well. Perhaps people with better eyes have no issues with the new tiny dots but I’d love to see them bigger, even twice as big if possible. Or bring the checkboxes back. There’s nothing wrong with having big, healthy checkboxes

Astrophotography Stack
bananayoshimoto replied to eaglenws's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Hi @Pete G, I still experiment with all the new stuff available to iPad, and from the little I know so far long-pressing New in Affinity Photo menu brings up a list of options, among which there is a function called Stack, and which behave similar to what I’ve seen in videos regarding Astrophotography Stacking. I don’t know if we speak about the same thing and I also do not know to which extent the desktop options are available to the iPad, but we now have stacking, batch jobs and many other functions for the first time on mobile. I don’t think Serif lied at all regarding genuine desktop-grade bit. If you meant something else, please disregards my reply; all the best! -
There are many good options missing. Take a look
bananayoshimoto replied to Ivan Ćosić's topic in V2 Bugs found on iPad
Personally I think some options should be always readily-available (like rename projects, duplicate, new for clipboard, import from photos etc etc). I’m not a fan of long pressing and swiping for fundamental options when there’s so much room not used for anything else in the general menu. It looks cool and modern but as a user experience I think that functionality should come always first. -
Hi @Intuos5, I’m mainly an iPad user on a (powerful) M1 iPad Pro, as many other users are. Although there are some only-vector and only-raster mobile software on the iPad, overall there’s no raster/vector integration at all. Now with the debut of StudioLink on the iPad nothing comes even closer on mobile to what Serif offers. Kind regards.

The alternative to be a slave to Adobe’s subscription model will never be a free graphic software. As an existing user I always knew the 2.0 will be paid and I never expected to pay less. Moreover, as a former Adobe user, I’m happy to pay as much as Serif asks as long as the products remain one-time purchases for major releases, and I know I’m not alone. No one wants to see a world without Affinity. In my opinion we cannot expect both Affinity to remain subscription-free, and a free product for the vast majority of users. Especially the existing customers should be well aware of the pains of a Serif-less world. That’s graphic’s apocalypse.

Disable spell check
bananayoshimoto replied to BenDE's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on iPad Questions
Hi @dmtp14 From what I’ve seen so far — going to Text, Character, Language and setting the Spelling to the language one needs solves the spell check issue entirely. Also from what I’ve seen so far, the changes remain in place forever, which is simply awesome (if that’s what you mean with “sticking”). All the best! -
I had the exact same issue. Erasing all the apps, rebooting the iPad and then installing them back fixed it for me.

Reading the comments here on the forums, Facebook, Reddit etc (and after spending the whole day playing with the new apps) — I can’t understand how 2.0 is underwhelming for some iPad users. We got hundreds of major features, new or for the first time on the iPad. We can import palettes, set language for text (as a Romanian this is so, so unexpected, and I think all non-English speakers are just as happy), have access to StudioLink (which works fantastic, and which is so fast you can’t even tell when you move the project from an app to another), content link for easy access, glyph browser, knife, builder, vector warp, etc etc. We have twice as many features than before and then some. Right now Affinity for iPad is 100% up there with its desktop counterpart. There are hundreds of improvements as well, real improvements, that barely anyone is talking about. The raster brushes feel absolutely fantastic now; the pressure is up there with Procreate if not better. Even in huge documents the app is crazily fast. Maybe the long-press to activate the quick menu takes too much but the 3-finger-swap is instant. Overall the menus are much more easily accessible, etc Publisher being so criticised for little improvements makes no sense on the iPad, which until now lacked a professional tool for publishing at all, but even for desktop people are too harsh and unreasonable. The app is much newer than AP and AD and because of studiolink Publisher is essential and need to be part of the suite. Remember 1.7 version? I’m confident Serif is going to provide major features during 2.X as well. The only things that I miss are a quick erase delete command, which everyone seem to miss, and personally I’d love a more accessible Group command too, position similar to V1 and not hidden in a menu. As for users who don’t like the UI because of the new icons, there’s an option in Preferences to use monochromatic iconography instead, which solves the “issue’’ instantly. All the best.

How do I duplicate a project in Live Docs?

Thanks! -
40% off is a huge discount IMHO. Would anyone feel better if the new Affinity users would have to pay more? I really don’t think so.
