[Affinity Designer - vertical grey line "Vector/Pixel"]

[Affinity Designer - vertical grey line "Vector/Pixel"]

My hand slipped and I'm not sure what button combination I selected on my keyboard, but this vertical grey line tool came up. I don't know what it is or how to make it go away. Anyone know what's going on here? I can move it left and right by clicking and dragging. Sometimes it says Vector/Pixel, but here is says Vector/Vector.

[PSD for Apple Motion]

hi team, have there been any developments/changes to these issues/work-arounds 2015? I am looking into purchasing Motion and my thought process was to export Affinty files to PSD for import into the program.

[Preview Mode - Keyboard Shortcut]

@GabrielM so i just tried and control + w works now. i got a new laptop since i made this post, so maybe it had something to do with that machine. to be clear, i did not get a new laptop to fix this issue LOL i was upgrading anyway. thanks for the tip though!! much appreciated.

[Preview Mode - Keyboard Shortcut]

Hi @gabriem

i have not changed any buttons. the shortcut for preview mode just does not work the the indicated shortcut for some reason. i've tried other combos but nothing works.

Command-W is the nearly universal shortcut for closing a window (thus, closing a document, as in Publisher).

Control-W should work, but I occasionally get Publisher in a state where I get the alert sound with any keyboard input I try, including command-Q (quit). I wish I could figure out how to get it in that state so I could report it. So far all I can do is to quit from the menu, and when I restart Publisher, all is right again.

that's pretty wild, actually. never heard of cmd+q not working. i guess there's still a few bugs

you're right! it probably should be. just wanted to make sure i was reading it right.

i know it's not cmd, but that's crtl, isn't it?

In the View menu on the Tool Bar "Preview Mode" is shown as Control + W, but nothing happens and my MacBook makes that 'boop' noise that it does when no action can be completed at this time. Am I pushing the wrong keys, or is this a bug?

[How do you show content boxes?]

I am an InDesign (user look to switch) working in the Publisher beta for the first time and I'm enjoying getting the hang of the processes.

How can i show the content boxes around each individual asset; whether it is a text box, an image, or a shape? I am used to this in my work flow from InDesign and it would be nice if there was a way to turn this visual on.

Let me know if you have any info on this! Thanks.
