[No text import, no XML]

I would like to add my vote on the request for automation features.

• structured text formats XML, JSON
• scripting e.g. AppleScript, Javascript, VBA (cross platform script executions is not for us, Mac only)
• Find and replace e.g. GREP, on attributes: like colour, style etc

A small but important list for considering the application for our daily jobs. So my vote for a rest API … I would simply love it!

[REST API for Affinity Designer to automate things]

You have my vote for capabilities like a Rest API. For now, I settle with scripting capabilities e.g. AppleScript, Javascript, VBA.

Your proposal means a very different business model. I don’t know how many on this forum understand automation, so proposing development capabilities might be a challenge to place in a proper context by a lot of forum users. I do hope that this threat gets read and considered by those whom understand the power of what’s behind your question.

Therefore, it would be interesting to learn Serif lab’s view on this.
