CodeCat Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Thanks for making a great image editing package! I've been impressed with how smoothly I've been able to move over from Adobe land to Affinity. Other image edition programs have a really handy feature that detects the dimensions of images in the system clipboard and defaults new document height and width to those dimensions. It saves a lot of time for me and I miss that functionality. Unless I'm missing the option to enable that somewhere, is there any chance that could be added in a future release?

walt.farrell Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. Have you tried File > New from Clipboard? (Keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+N, by default, on Windows. On Mac use Cmd instead of Ctrl.)

CodeCat Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 BWahahahaa.... Yeah, like File > New from Clipboard. I looked all through the application settings and didn't see anything, it wasn't on the welcome panel (though "New Document" is), and I couldn't find anyone else mention it in the forum which surprised me. I spend so little time in the "File" menu that I completely missed it. Thank you Walt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
