Hey guys, I'm not sure if this was intentional, but one of the most useful gestures that has been in AFDesigner on ipad from the day one was broken in 2.1. The color picker in the left tool panel has always been able to be quickly dragged out to quick select a color, in a usual illustration session I would reach for this function almost every time i draw a shape. Literally every 5th tap of my pencil... With the introduction of the style picker tool, the color picker and style picker now have a tool pop out menu... which kills the quick color selector 😬 gesture. I posted a video, like i always do. I am all for new additions and updates to make the App better, but the essence of iPad is the super convenient gestures like dragging the stroke icon to adjust on the fly, and the color icon to lighten and darken the current color. Affinity's strength over Adobe is the ability to work fast and the super optimal workspace that just keeps you moving! This was one of those incredible gestures that helped keep that speed going! I have a suggestion for a compromise that doesn't remove functionality (see my render below the video), while still making the color and style picker prominent and easy to reach/find. Please consider restoring this function, new muscle memory is hard to form at the age of 41, hahaha. Thanks again guys! Keep doing what you do! Sequence 02_1.mp4
