R C-R Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Something that sometimes is not clear to users new to AP macros is that to record one there must be a document already open in the workspace for the macro to target. You can start with a new, unsaved document with no layers if you want, but there must be one or the record button will be greyed out.

FitzRaymond Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Are there some actions that are not recordable? I tried to record a macro to set my brush opacity and flow to 25% (something I find myself doing a lot), but nothing happened. Nothing was recorded.

There are many actions in Affinity Photo that cannot be recorded. For example, nothing from the File menu, as far as I know. It appears that changes to the brush parameters can't be recorded, either.

One thing from file menu can be set by a macro and that is the 'Save History with Document' setting. I've not found anything else that can. Can you record alt+x combo?

John Rostron Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Another limitations you should be aware of is how the Copy and Paste actions apply to the current document. Copy is recorded as 'Save the current image/layer in the macro', not 'Save the copy action'. Paste in a macro acts to paste what was recorded when the macro was originally recorded.

In other words, there will no image independent dynamic recording take place, instead the recording is of static nature here for images and the momentary is state.
