  1. When working on file that is read-only, it would be really useful if hitting CTRL+S (or going to File > Save) would either present an alert saying the file is read only and cannot be saved, or opening the 'Save As...' dialogue box like Photoshop does. I was working on a file the other day for several hours, not realising that it was read-only and that pressing CTRL+S was not saving my work (as there was no feedback to suggest a problem). Then when the app froze and had to be restarted, I was dismayed to see all the changes I had done were lost.
  2. Hello, in separated mode Affinity Photo and Designer don't take in consideration the "save dialogue window" that comes from top below every palette you have active in that moment. The result is that when anyone is trying to save files, you have to move and relocate the floating palettes and the main toolbar (see the attachment). Would be desirable to have another interaction with the save window, maybe hiding temporarily the palettes (now I do by myself pressing TAB) or pushing on the foreground the dialog window. Other feedback, that could be considered, is to allow more workspaces and the possibility to save them. There are many reasons, useless to explain, in which you need to save two or three workspaces with the disposition of palettes and toolbar you need.
  3. I don't know if this is something that would have to be implemented by Affinity or by Amazon but I would very much like to have the ability to Save an .afphoto file to Amazon Drive in addition to the other cloud services. Dropbox is slow and iCloud is not an option. I want a service to simply store my images; not to control them.
  4. Inconvenient behavior when sending an image to Affinity Photo from an external browser such as ACDSee or ON1's browser module: 1. Choose the image file within a browser 2. Send file to open within Affinity Photo 3. Perform editing in AP 4. Select "Save As" to save your work When you choose "Save As" in AP to save work in a native file, the application opens the "last saved" folder, which is not necessarily the folder where the file resides. This requires navigation to the native folder before implementing Save As. Please change the default behavior in this circumstance to open in the home folder of the file being edited. (That's the way it works when the the file is opened from within AP.)
  5. When I wish to save an image I have finished working on and I want to save it, the only option available to me is with an AFPHOTO file extension. How do I save a file, say, as a TIF, JPG or any other common type of file extension ? "Save As" does not give me any option either. There surely must be a way to do it, what am I doing wrong ?
  6. If I load a JPEG or PNG image and choose 'Save' or 'Save As...' from the File menu, the image is saved (as expected) as a *.afphoto file. I would also expect it to be added to the 'Open Recent' list, but it isn't.
  7. First time posting, but need to know, have many documents created in Serif Page Publisher and converted to PDF. Affinity accepts these without alterations from what I see. But will it allow me to save changes in PDF format? If not, whilst great functionality, it is not of complete use to me as I create many publications between 100 to 200 pages in PDF format. Will soon want to create publications greater than 200 pages. Will need PDF functionality.
  8. New to Affinity Photo, and so far, what I've seen looks good, then it all comes to an abrupt halt. Trying to do my forum avatar pic, I decide to use my new Serif software to resize my picture. All going good, until I come to "Save As", so that I can save my image as a JPEG. Even this forum doesn't recognise AFphoto files! :huh: Serif - the product is good, but why do I not have the option to save my processed file to what I want? For this example, JPEG would be enough. In the future however, it would nice to be able to convert my images to other file formats - such as DNG etc. How after processing my images - or friends images, as I do sometimes - how do I send them back their image - so that they can open it on their systems? :(
  9. After opening a saved file and making extensive changes, I chose 'Save As...' so that I could keep both the original document and the modified version. I expected to be offered the original folder by default, but instead I was offered a downloads folder from where I had previously loaded a .afbrushes file.
  10. First: Affinit Designer is really great - thanks to the Affinity team! (Former-time Corel user, then Inkscape, now switched to Affinity due to CMYK and better color management) My request: I often use Save-As to generate numbered versions of files (as backups, and so that when I discuss them with a client, we can refer to which version we are talking about). In the Save As dialog, it appears that AD defaults to the folder where I last saved anything. This is very tricky when working on files that lie in different folders. To me, the current behaviour is somehow unexpected, and I often accidentially store files in the wrong project's folder. The same happens when exporting, to PDF for instance. I can imagine that people might want to always export all PDFs to a certain folder no matter where the curent file is, so maybe we should also consider this use-case. My suggestion is: 1.) Save As: Default to the folder where the current file lies. 2.) Export (pdf etc, but also for palettes): Default to the folder where I last exported the respective file type when the current document was open. (Maybe its not a good idea to store file paths in documents (like the export paths necessary for 2.). For me, it would be ok if this only works for the last, say, 30 files I worked on, so it could be stored somewhere in the application options storage, not in the document files.) Would this cover all use-cases? Best, Philipp
  11. Possibly a rookie move on my part, but I have noticed on a couple of occasions that if I open a file I have been working on, choose the 'Save As' option in the file menu, the newly created file overwrites the original one, rather than duplicating it. Am I doing something wrong? Cheers
  12. I'm new to this and I can't seem to save each layer, so when I want to work on it again, it is there. In Photoshop I would simply save the file as a ".psd" but I don't seem to have that option for this. I'm sure it is a simple answer and would really appreciate anyone that can help me out. Thanks for your time.
  13. Hi team! Why some exports to PDF resulted on a "big white square" on Windows PC? On Mac OS and iOS I can open the file normally but not on Windows PC -> Except if I open the PDF with Chrome on Windows PC! INSULA - Côtés de scène.pdf
  14. I m using the latest Beta. I've had a lot of problems this afternoon. I went to open one of the two designs I made earlier - under Open Recent - and there were 4 versions of one and 8 versions of the other shown there. I opened the top one and worked on it for about half an hour then went to Save and got the message "Cannot save document as cannot verify you are the owner. Document will now close". All my work lost! I opened the original again and this time tried Save As and renamed it. It did not change the open one I was working on, as is normal behaviour, (still called original name) and does not appear in Open Recent (but it is shown in Finder). These are designs I have to show my customer tomorrow but how can I rely on it saving my work properly? I have regrettfully gone back to Sketch for now, I hope you can get this sorted soon, as I like AD but have to be able to rely on it doing the basic Mac stuff.
  15. Please don't adopt the "No Save As" option that Apple implemented in all their apps. It is a real nightmare. The workflow gets really complicated without "Save As" option... Lots of mac users are complaining about it...
