    Clayton King reacted to billgatto in AFP+AFD: Repeat last action shortcut key   
    it is a very useful function, I used it on corel draw (CTRL + R) any action, modification, rotation and more is repeated on any selected object every time the function is called.

    What I usually do is double-click somewhere outside the text frame to exit text entry mode & reactivate the Move Tool.

    Clayton King got a reaction from GRAFKOM in convert Page to Master Page   
    One reason the ability to convert a page to a master would be helpful is guides. You can copy all the elements from a page, but the guides don't copy. Often, a lot of time is spent tweaking guides in real time, so the ability to convert them would help.

    In case it helps you, you can quickly get them to adjoin each other using the Alignment tool/icon in the Toolbar, even without those two functions.

    Clayton King got a reaction from Stokestack in Let us flag a layer as non-printing   
    Just saw your reply... Yes, they're doing annual subscriptions as well. I've been using CorelDRAW since version 1 of Windows when it came out, and later became a beta tester for it. I even won an honorable mention in the old Corel International Design Contest. I'm quite fond of the program because it's incredibly intuitive and easy to use. Having worked in hightech for over 25 years, I'm familiar with the notion of piling on with complaints about software development, but I also know that if you're competing again an "industry standard," and having to achieve market share over proven products, you really have to listen to your users. A good start would be to make tools behave the same across all Affinity products since one of their banner achievements is making them to interoperable. But again, things like nonprinting layers, muti-page spreads in publisher, easy masking, temporary tool choice, simply made keylines, etc., would go a long way toward that.

    I really like Corel Draw, which I agree is far superior to Illustrator. What's your beef with it? Did Corel go to a software-rental scam too?
    I don't use Draw anymore because I don't use Windows anymore. There have been a couple of disastrous attempts at Mac versions of Draw, which were quickly abandoned.

    There's a crystal clear fact with this Affinity V2: IT'S A BARGAIN.
    But that some features are very demanded by users and aren't implemented yet, is true, too.

    Really could use multi-page spreads but the universal licence still makes v2 a compulsory purchase for anyone with a vague interest in design, illustration and photography - although I do hope we get this capability eventually, preferably with the addition of a slug area so you can bung on your own fold marks and wot not when working on say a trifold, book jacket or capacity folder - still super happy😆

    I just purchased V2 and haven't fully explored the new capabilities which I'm sure are extensive. While I don't want to be a fly in the ointment, I was disappointed that 3+ page spreads are still not implemented.

    First thing I did when I installed Publisher 2 this morning was try to create 'more than 2 pages' spreads, with all kind of key combinations or page/spread menus. Result? Deception... I'm sorry to say, but I'm dissapointed for that. And I have purchased the Universal license...

    Excited to explore the new version. Was hoping for 3+ page spreads in Publisher (so I can FINALLY let go of Indesign), but the new versions look like there's a lot of new opportunity and streamlining available to workflows!

    It took some doing, but I managed to create book covers in Designer using artboards. Exporting to PDF was a bit tedious, but it worked.

    Clayton King reacted to Khepr in 3 page spread   
    This is probably the single biggest issue why I am not using Publisher since I do a lot of book jackets and the standard in which printers want their materials is that every part of the jacket is one page in a multi page spread (basically to be able to adjust the sizes on the fly if there are changes in materials etc.. without ordering new layout for some millimeter changes.) So please, multi page spreads.

    maybe multi pages are in the pipeline !
    See the attached screenshot.
    Currently, nothing happens when dropping the page into the spread. What should happen is for this action to add a page and make a 3-page spread.

    I posted the question originally because I find it creates unnecessary extra work. I typically size places images before I get to layout. When I click to place an image, I obviously wouldn’t want it centered where I click. In fact, I can’t think of a scenario where you would. But regardless, establishing a default anchor by clicking one I. The transform panel prior to placing a file seems reasonable.

    No idea what you say (pick, more, next task), could be because I never had a chance to use Corel.
    Doesn't the ESC key work for you to continue as wanted with the rectangle tool?

    You can click and drag rather than just clicking. Other than that, I don't think you can do what you want.
    Edit: Or you could use Picture Frames if you're in Publisher, and click in the frame.
