  1. If I select two (or more) layers in the layers panel and chose Select • Select from Layer I suppose a selection from all Layers. Just a suggestion from user experience.
  2. Inside the Layers tab, when I drag a layer onto the Trash icon, please make something happen (like a Hover state on the web). Right now it works -- if I drag atop the trash and release, it gets deleted with feedback of a little cloud -- but I want feedback BEFORE I release the mouse button. Photoshop gives feedback. Drag a layer atop the trash icon and the background of the trash icon gets darker. It's a small thing but one that will be noticed by everyone and LIKED tremendously. Thanks.
  3. A while ago I went to a portfolio show to get advice from some leading graphic designers in the area. When I showed one designer this logo that I did for a women’s group he said to me that at first didn’t realize that they were people due to their heads not being very visible in front of their arms. He also thought that the curves of the dress made it appear like they were rubber gloves. He suggested that I move the arms further apart so the head would be more visible and to straighten the dress out more. The image on the left is the redesign I did after listening to his advice. There many other type choices I have been experimenting with that I might try as well. I would love to hear what other people think!
  4. Hi guys, cheers for the cool software. I've been having a play so far and are offering my thoughts on some issues and feature requests. As an aside, I used Sketch for about 30 days and felt that while it has nice features for more technically-minded programmer-type folk, it's not a great tool for visual designers (in fact, I absolutely HATE it). I still have a fondness for Freehand and a chip on my shoulder at Adobe for discontinuing it and making me use Illustrator. Here are my thoughts for Affinity Designer so far: 10 days isn't long enough for a trial period I want to be able to see all the things outside of the artboard. Sketch was so annoying with this particular issue regarding artboards and grouped objects, it made me want to throw it into a fire straight away. Thankfully Designer doesn't do this, but it also doesn't show me the objects which are outside of the artboard. I set the unit measurements of my document to be in pixels, however text units are in points. How do I ensure that the document's primary unit will be consistent with all my sizing settings? Is a point a pixel anyway? (sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't) Setting line height on text seems unnecessarily buried, should be as top-level as setting text size. Have to open Paragraph window then look for line height setting amidst other options and juggle overlaid window with subject in viewport in order to see changes (I'm on a 15" MacBook Pro laptop so not much screen space). Shift+Enter does not insert a "soft" line-break (e.g. not a new paragraph) in any text input, but I notice Ctrl+Enter does. I feel the Shift+Enter is a standard feature across many different programs (not just Adobe ones) so I'd recommend that convention over Ctrl+Enter. It's kind of nice that you display overset text in Text Frames, but I'd prefer default behaviour is to crop. Is there ability to set crop visual behaviour (visible, hidden, ellipsis) ? It might be outside of the scope of Designer (seems it may be more an illustration tool than DTP), but I'd like to set objects to wrap around text within text frames a la InDesign. Could this be a potential feature? I was annoyed at first with proportional resizing via handles being default (my old habit was to hold shift so got irritated that holding shift didn't size proportionally) but after I thought about it, I size proportionately almost exclusively. There is a caveat though, I thought: when creating any shape with click and drag, it's never proportionate until you hold down shift, so I think you should probably choose one convention and stick with it, rather than incorporating two. I'd prefer the convention of holding down shift to size proportionately, personally. Hex code form input on colour panel is very very recommended On colour panel there's no shortcut button to add colour to swatches, have to go to context menu on top-right. Swatches panel has shortcut button to add colour to swatches, but no option within context menu on top-right to add colour to swatches. I feel like these could be swapped around, i.e. put shortcut button on colour panel Cmd+Y as a shortcut to viewing in Outlines would be real nice... Object selection is annoying me, much to the degree Sketch did too. Would prefer general black and white cursor behaviour like in Illustrator/Freehand (object and direct object selection — I don't want to have to select a specific layer first, nor do I want to continually have the Cmd key held down like with Sketch). In fact, the more you can make this program like Freehand, the better in my opinion it will be against Illustrator :) Deleting point in curve doesn't remove it, program removes it then adds a new one in its wake, unless I set the surrounding points to not be curved (ah, I get it now: clicking curve adds a point. Anyway to make that more explicit? Maybe use a + instead of a wavy curve?)
  5. Hi! I had this idea. When you make a websites the best way to see how people use the interface is actually seeing them use it, perform tasks. The real users, people who have not seen the wireframes, and are not in the website biz. A lot of the time this points out things like: UI elements you thought were clear, no-brainers are not People use the UI / site in different ways than you had thought of Where people "get lost" Where people expect things to be What elements people love Watching people use your UI can be a real eye opener sometimes. So why not do this for AD? While it would be nice to fly in people from all over the world it might be more efficient to have people record a drawing / AD session. This would be most effective if people had a microfone, to explain what they were doing, what they were expecting to happen. I'm sure this would deliver a ton of insight. // Edit: And if you had the same person do/ draw something similar in Ai, you could compare that, see what they love & use there...
  6. hey guys, Did my first project in affinity today. I really like it! Can't wait for the photo app to be developed too Just wanted to share a few user issues I came across while doing a real project. Hope it helps. This is relevant to mostly version 1.0.18771 and a little bit of 1.0.19046. Sorry for the mix. 1. ​[RESOLVED (see post 2)] I keep wanting to click on objects and find that I can’t select them. Is there a shortcut that would allow me to do a direct selection? Photoshop has this where you can press ctrl click and it selects the layer (or group, it depends on how you set it up). Currently I have to drill down my layers window until I find the exact layer which is a really slow process. 2. [RESOLVED (My faulty mouse)] I often find i’m having to click on a layer in the layers window multiple times as i find it opens and closes in one click? It seems too sensitive. Don’t know if anyone else is experiencing this. 3. [RESOLVED (software update)] Pasting into a file that is very long or very wide is a bit of a pain as it always pastes at the top and not at your current viewing screen position. It would be nice so that when i paste something I don’t have to scroll up and then drag it back down to where I was. 4. [RESOLVED (Use Shift and mousescroll)] Dragging items around to somewhere that is currently off the screen is a bit slow / sluggish/ clumsy. I found you could use the mouse wheel while holding the layer for vertical positioning but haven’t yet found anything for horizontal. 5. It would be nice to be able to copy and paste layer effects PLEASE PLEASE That would be very awesome. 6. [RESOLVED BUT (Still think it shouldn't zoom in though)] Sometimes I’m drilling through the layers and due to having to click multiple times (on the layer icon) I find the window will automatically change and zoom to the position of that object. This is great when you purposely intend to be editing that layer but it causes me to loose my orientation of where I am in the project especially if its a small object. I then have to zoom out every time which slows things down. Maybe this is just related to my issue with the very sensitive double clicking. maybe don't zoom to the object just change the viewers position. Perhaps if this was more animated and with a duration under a second that might help stop the loss in orientation. 7. [RESOLVED BUT (Personally think whole group should lock not just that layer)] If I lock a layer should I be able to move the contents inside it? This feels a bit strange. 8. [RESOLVED] If I press Z I get the zoom icon, if I press it again by accident or for any other reason it goes back to the pointer tool? In some situations the zoom icon doesn't appear even though it can zoom in and out? It would be nicer if it just stayed as the zoom icon after all that is what I’m pressing. 9. [RESOLVED] The "frame text tool" doesn't scale it just reflows. this is good when you want to reshape the bounding box but when you are scaling a whole project or the layer that its in it just doesn't want to scale. You end up having to do "Convert to curves" which is a destructive destructive process. 10. These are more requests than anything else: 1. In separated mode would it be possible to snap tool pallets to other tool pallets? 2. with strokes I can do inner stroke with an outer stroke but I can’t find a way to be able to do an inner stroke on its own? Hope this can provide as some useful user feed back. Love the work you’re doing! Go kick adobes ass See the attachment of my work to get perspective...
