Rondem Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Don't know if it's planed, but i think it would be good to add an auto size function to text frame, based on the text added. So if more text is added the frame gets bigger automatically. The options would be to lock x or y direction, based on the needs. So if this would be possible, it could be used as a footnote solution for now. The frame would be pined and would flow with the text. And I'm shore it would come in handy for some other occasions that i cant think of right now.

thomaso Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 It's not exactly what you described but two kinds of auto-sizing text frames can be used already: • When using the Artistic Text Tool a text frame is always adapted to its content, both vertically and horizontally. • When using the Frame Text Tool a text frame is sort of auto-sized vertically if the red text overflow eye icon is activated. Even though this way a text is still 'overflowing' it gets entirely exported and does text wrapping – whereas e.g. alignment or snapping still relates to the real frame object dimensions.

Artistic Text still has a frame and you can change the Fill and Stroke of that frame using the Text Frame panel in Publisher Its frame is just a basic one compared to a Frames Text's frame but it still exists Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

thomaso Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Framing ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framing_(social_sciences) There might be some more unexpected terms in use for Affinity. For instance a "frameless" picture frame ... ... or a preflight "live check" only on export, or a hidden, invisible page which gets exported as "current page" ...

fde101 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I guess I consider those to be borders rather than frames, but I guess that might just be me... the terminology does leave some room for interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
