Yes. This tool is brilliant, it surprises with illustrator adobe.

Good day!
"Shape Builder Tool" – add this tool, as in Illustrator, it is not enough in the Affinity Designer program to create logos, icons ... working with Golden Ratio.
Implement this feature in the near future!
For Affinity Designer iPad / Affinity Designer Desktop

It would be great to have an option down on the context sensitive bar to automatically expand a stroke after drawing a stroke with the pencil tool. In the Adobe Stock/Shutterstock world, you can't have strokes on your vectors, all strokes must be expanded before you can upload an image, so my workflow includes me pressing Expand Stroke after every line i draw. On the desktop i just set expand to a single keypress so it's quick and easy, but on ipad it involves 2 extra pencil taps to the menu then the option. It's mildly inconvenient. 
It would be great to either add an expand button to the context bar of node, pen and pencil tools OR just have an option to turn on auto-expand which would just expand after the line is drawn. This could replace the need for a blob brush if you combined an auto-expand option with a sclupt mode. One less tool, same functionality.

Uffff 
A lot of time passed before I understood that you hit the icon of the brush solid also needs to change the brush teksture to the style of a solid brush. Returning to the brush solid requires having a suitable brush style in the brush library...
I do not understand why it does not happen automatically (intuitively) when I choose the brush solid icon from stroke studio. but I understood. thank you. 

Hello, 
I've been using Designer on My iPad Pro since it became available and I dig it.
However, I've run into a problem whereby the app is using massive amounts of storage which makes no sense. I have very few documents stored, fewer than a hundred, the vast majority of them are purely vector and no more than 5 or 6 include bitmap images, yet Designer is using 352 GB of disk space! 
looking at the info available it says that the app is using 922 MB and that documents & data are 351 GB. This is crazy! There is no conceivable way that the files I have in the app could be anywhere close to 351 GB.
At first I thought it might be related to the fact that I maxed out the available undos in settings, however, today I changed that to 500 and went through each file individually and erased all available history, this however did nothing to decrease the storage. I have also added a number of items to my assets, but they are also purely vector and I can't see them taking up this much storage either.
Surely this must be an issue with Designer itself? If Someone at Serif could reach out to me and help me sort this out or explain what is goin on here, it would be very much appreciated as I have been unable to backup my iPad now for over a month due to the massive amount of date required to do so — since I need the iPad daily I haven't been able to allow the 2 or 3 days required to make an iCloud backup. 
If any forum members have had this issue or know what causes this I would also be happy to hear any advice or suggestions.
thanks for reading

Hi,
It just is very practical
 
It would be beautiful if duplication would remember more modifications. e.g., vector shift, rotation, variable scales.
best regards
 

I do most of my drawing in Adobe Ideas on my iPad, which creates compound vector shapes, which I then use the Live Paint feature in Illustrator to fill in. It makes colouring extremely quick and easy.
 
Is there already, or is there a planned equivalent for Affinity? It's basically the only thing stopping me from making the switch from Illustrator to this, as it's a really nice app otherwise.
 
Many thanks!

I'd like to request a tool from illustrator that would be an amazing addition to AF on ipad, especially with the apple pencil combo.
Blob tool is a tool that looks like a regular brush, but when you draw with it, it fills in a whole area and vectorizes around the solid area. It's basically the vector eraser tool but opposite. 
It would be amazing to have a blob, eraser combo tool that would switch between the functions with a one-finger modifier (with an option to set default erase or draw).
Adding to and erasing from vector shapes would make filling in vector areas and drawing full shapes really easy to do on ipad, especially with apple pencil!
Video attached so you can see what these tools do (in case anyone here has never used them) This is shown in illustrator as 2 tools, but in true Affinity style, these could totally be combined with a modifier since it doens't need to be that complicated. (illustrator is great at making 6 tools to do do the work of one).

I'm having this problem too. I go to move nodes and end up moving the control handles on the node instead. The closer the handles are to the node, the worse the problem is and the closer I have to zoom in to change them. Really breaks up the work flow in an unfortunate way.
I almost wish there was an option to enable "edit node handles only with finger hold" or something, where if you use a single finger or the pencil it only moves the node, not it's control handles, but if you add a finger held down on the screen, it now moves the handles. Something similar to that might be nice for the ipad work flow.

A vector mesh warp/distortion tool is on the version 1.x roadmap for Affinity Designer. I assume it will be added to the desktop version first, and then find its way to the iPad version some time after that.

Hi Great work on affinity Designer or iPad. I had one suggestion I noticed when using the dropper gesture, It’s way too easy to accidentally toggle droppper selector when you’re trying to zoom in or out on your image.
My suggestion is rather than having to switch tools from whatever you’re working on to the dropper tool on left lower menu bar, selecting your color, then continuing to switch to whatever tools you were working on, why not make the dropper tool a tap-and-hold-to-toggle. You press Your finger on it, select your color, then release. This way there is no unnecessary switching or using a rather error prone gesture.

Hi Mariusz go
Firstly, the Export Persona does not support the same snapping options as the Vector or Pixel Persona, the only snapping options available are for snapping slices to other slices, not objects as I can see you trying in your video. The layers studio can snap a slice to any object, simply select the layer and click Create Slice.
Secondly, you've not quite selected the root folder correctly to export your slices. With all your slices created, open the Slices Studio on the right hand side and select Export All. This will open the iPad Files browser, navigate to the folder you wish for the slices to be exported to (please note you cannot be inside the folder, you must be selecting the folder itself),  choose Select from the top right, click the folder and then click Open. You should see the files window close, taking you back to Designer.
Now, press Export All once again and you'll see your slices being exported into the previously chosen folder. A video tutorial of this can be found here - https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/tutorials/designer/ipad/video/273285740
 

I'd really like the Brush tool in the Pixel persona to have a touch modifier that would switch to the eraser.  I really like sketching out my ideas first and quick access to the eraser would be helpful.

There isn't away to do this.  
You've posted in the best place tho, Feature Requests.  If you'd like to add a screen recording, if you'd like to post a video, it just ensures the Feature Request is fully understood by everyone  

Hi just updating this. I still haven’t found an auto close function but I did notice that you can tap the sculpt icon and draw over the gap to close it, which is a little easier than choosing the node select tool and pressing close path. 

I would also like to see this happen. Not everyone uses the Pencil tool only with outlined shapes, some of us use it to create filled shapes and as it works currently it's next to useless because it does not properly resolve the closing bit of the shape. It would also be great if when the fill is selected the actual fill is not displayed while drawing. Some control of smoothing/node numbers would also be a welcome addition.
 

Hi FreelanceDesigner
A mesh warp/distort tool in on our roadmap for a future update, found here!

It would be nice if one could create a vanishing point grid (Procreate can do that)
 

Could be interesting a light grey interface, like in macOS?
LightGrey interface makes me (and others) easier to locate and use icons/buttons/....

I was wondering if it's possible (or could be possible in an update) to have vector textures applied to vector brushes?
What I mean by that is let's say I create an image of dots (all vector) then output it into a vector format could that then be used as the source texture for a vector brush?
Would be great as then you would have all vector throughout a file instead of some bitmap and some vector which obviously then limits how large it can be printed at. 
I totally appreciate the bitmap brushes and what can be done with them but for some things (for example a halftone pattern) it would be great if they could be vector based so that they could then be output at any size when exporting. 
Many thanks for any input on this and apologies if it's already possible and I'm missing it somewhere as I seem to be doing that a lot lately. Very probably old age starting to set in!
