I would like to request a tiling pattern tool and also something akin to the blob brush, but with more control would be a very useful addition? Cheers!

Hi, any plans for better pattern support? Especially pattern overlay layer style? I would welcome some way to store and organize patterns same way I can organize brushes. But most importantly I would be able to work with PSDs with pattern overlay. In current version those just won’t show up in AD so I cannot work with some PSDs properly.

Hello, I’ve searched through existing posts (see short list below) but it’s not clearly stated if those requests have been added to the development list or out of consideration. (They don’t appear to be reflected in the roadmap unless I’m missing a reference.) Is it possible to get clarification as to whether Affinity has plans to support: Ability to import Photoshop and Illustrator 'Preset' files / styles: Most Important:Gradients: .grd file extension Styles: .asl file extension Patterns: .pat file extensionIncluding preset pattern fills (related post by someone else is referenced below) Moderately important but could live without:Color Swatches: .aco file extension Custom Shapes: .csh file extension I have a huge library of the above (gradients, styles, and patterns in particular) that I'd rather not lose (or have to recreate) by switching to Affinity Designer.

Thank you for any clarification you can provide. Regards, --S
