  1. Pinguins in Africa? 🌍.... yes! : Meet the African Pinguin West-African Chimpanzee 🐵... with his son 😀 Ostrich... (what? We have a problem? I only see sand 😁)
  2. There are some weird translations of animal names too: This is a 'Great White Pelican', but in Dutch this is a 'Roze Pelikaan' (literally translates to 'Pink Pelican' in English)... Both are partly right tho; the neck is pink and the feathers are white 😀
  3. A White Handed Gibbon 🐒... has white hands 😀 And don't mess with the Western Lowland Gorilla 🦍
  4. Wow, who knew this animal existed?: a Black Horse Antelope! Mix 'n' Match nature 😀
  5. Thanks @jmwellborn! I really appreciate your compliment! 😀
  6. Captains log 18th March: lots of work done on the map and 27 animals done, 38 to go! 😀 Two of the new beautiful animals: California Sea Lion and the Greater Flamingo 🦩
  7. Haha, that is defragged indeed 😁. Have a nice weekend!
  8. Haha! 😁 Hippos 🦛 looks a lot cuter tho 😀... although I wouldn't like them to go after me neither 😬 Also Grant Zebras 🦓 are pretty beautiful. Did you know they have stripes to confuse their attackers when they're running together in formation? (their attacker can't detect what direction they're going because they get confused by their stripes. Pretty amazing stuff). Thanks for your nice reactions and have a nice weekend! 😀
  9. Thanks @jmwellborn! 😀 The Nile Crocodile and the Black Rhino 🦏! Also such special characteristic creatures! 🙂 (don't stand too close tho)
  10. Nubian Giraffe 🦒😀 36-Nubian-Giraffe-1080P-60fps.mp4
  11. Thanks @jmwellborn for the nice compliment! And yes indeed, we should cherish and protect the beautiful animals that are still there!
  12. Busy illustrating and animating 66 (!!) different animals for on a new Interactive Map. Happily using Affinity Designer for all graphics on the map to have them vector-based. Starting with the elephant 🐘! Such beautiful animals! 😀 2-Elephant-1080p-60fps.mp4
  13. Sorry, I didn't see your response before now. Thanks for the compliment! Nice to see you like it! 😀
  14. @GarryP Thanks Garry for your quick and helpful response! looking into the first link it looks like geometry -> divide is a nice way to speed this up! I see that when selecting the star and do a divide it's creating a new layer with just the star! So that definitely helps!
  15. This looks very much related to the issue I had with 'new from clipboard'. It would be nice if Serif could start addressing this as these DPI issues are prone to errors and unneeded confusion:
  16. Nice thing about Publisher tho is that for only 50 euros you can give the printer their own copy of Publisher so they have it for free 😉
  17. Hi, I have a curves-layer where one curve represents a hole into another curve. Now I'd like to copy that inner curve and paste it as a new curve. I've tried this before, but never found a way to do this without using boolean tools or other tricks. Anybody perhaps know if it's possible to just copy and paste an inner curve to a new layer and how to do that? Thanks in advance!
  18. It indeed seems to be a dpi thing. When changing the DPI of the new file to 72 too it's exporting to svg as expected. I wonder why Affinity isn't copying the DPI setting over to the new document, while it is perfectly known when we hit 'copy' and IMO could just take over that setting in the new file from the clipboard. After a search I also found this thread about the same issue, but with only copy'n'paste: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/95874-affinity-photo-changes-image-dpi-on-copy-paste/ I think the Affinity team thought it was a great plan to keep copies at 96dpi as some kind of a standard for when copies come from other software (if even possible), but didn't over see how confusing this can be for people only using Affinity just to create a copy of one or more isolated objects with File-->New from Clipboard. Causing the issues in the svg export as described above when not knowing about this underwater DPI change. Also the 'copy as svg' setting doesn't seem to have any influence on this. IMO the best thing would be Affinity to just to copy the DPI setting to the clipboard when copying vector content and use it for the new file when using 'File-->New from Clipboard'. That would prevent issues and unneeded confusion. Or else at least show us a message that the DPI has changed, or might have been changed. It's easy to forget these kinds of pitfalls and before you know you encounter the same issue again months later, having the same confusion again. Anyway, good to know what's causing this for this moment. Thanks for your reply! Hope Affinity can address this for future versions.
  19. When copying shapes and use File --> New from Clipboard and export both original and copy to svg with exact same settings, the shapes's dimensions and locations are different. To compensate these changes Designer seems to compensate this by changing the size of the viewBox too so that the complete SVG looks the same when just doing that: watching the whole svg. But that's causing issues and unneeded complexity when using the svg and its shapes inside for interactive usage online. Than 'New from Clipboard' renders the copy pretty much unusable when doing even a little more advanced stuff with the svg. I might be missing something, but to me it doesn't make sense to have the new file with a 75 x 75 viewBox, when the copied circle is 100 x 100 and the viewBox on the original is too. And also if I would have a wrong setting in the exporter set, I would expect both the original and the copy to export exactly the same. Because of this everything in the exported svg (of the copy) is now different: - sizes aren't the same - locations aren't the same - viewBox isn't the same What I would expect to happen instead: The viewBox to be the same size of the boundingbox of the vector-content in the clipboard, or size of an artboard or mask if this is clipping it. Than have the sizes of all curves (=paths) and shapes with the exact same attributes. Of course, positions may change when the copied content is smaller than the original document size, but in this case it's the exact same size, so also the locations should be exactly the same. Which would be easy if the viewBox of the copy would be the same. Please see video below (+ SVG's as attachment): new-from-clipboard-issue.mp4 copy.svg org.svg
