Hi dev team it is really time for Affinity being able to align selected path nodes not only along the page edge but also along only the selected path nodes. This is what affinity does it is somewhat stunning that this is not yet implemented! Freehand in the 90s had this !!! This is what is should do: align align align the selected nodes and not the paper edge only!

Hello Affinity, I am with the Affinity software since it got out - have it for Mac and iPad. I am very exited to see the Publisher app to come out soon too but have some stomach pain here. The main angle I see this is coming from Macromedia Freehand that unlike Adobe Illustrator / Indesign offered layout, masterpage, text tools (Indesign) and Illustration tools (Illustrator) in one application with another major advantage: different paper formats. So in stead of having different InDesign files you could have all in one design document. I see Affinity stepping into the same highly frustrating and annoying limitations Adobe forces onto users. Freehand got killed and typography and text frame tools where separated so nicely that you need to buy both Adobe apps. I really hope that in the long run chaining text frames, master pages, etc will be accessible for Designer too and not only be limited to Publisher.

2014 was the first time it mentioned that this is such a "must have" tool to have for paths. Literally Affinity Designer cannot be productively be used for anything remotely like technical illustration where you need call outs etc. So please this is now 2019 4 to 5 years later now! Even Gravit Designer a web based app has super path end options !!!

dear lord - this is such an easy yet so useful function !!!

I see thank you - I was not aware of how this function was hidden. I noticed that when saving first and then changing the type to linked files remain bigger than when placing images changing them to linked and saving them.

It seems publisher as a DTP app copies / embedded external images via the place command increasing the file size which obviously is not a good idea. afdinity designer unlike illustrator already cannot link images. what is the plan for publisher? That is somewhat besides master pages one of the most used / needed function when working on publications.

Also for the sake of versioning and syncing there should be an option to load and save to iCloud in addition particulaly for those who use the desktop app too.

Hi Team, I find the current save option very limiting - it would be nice to centralized save on file in iCloud and be able to open the file on Mac or iPad without import/export. This would improve their workflow significantly.

This is great to see looking forward to seeing it "on my iPadPro" hahahaha

Affinity Team I have to say this was an impressive presentation and a lot more impressive app. Photo for iOS is fantastic. The UI does not use much screen space, gestures work great, just amazing. Poor Adobe with their toy app. Really looking forward to Designer too for iOS. Then this is complete!

so useful when you work with different font sizes etc and want to maintain an overall consistent baseline

From my experience the code in Affinity is just more modern and thus probably allowed them to do things better unlike Adobe which has a lot of legacy stuff. Just look at PS pen tool - face palm.

Can Affinity Designer not snap the node handle to a vertical / horizontal 45 alignment or snap it to other nodes?

This is amazing!
