antonkudin Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 There should be an option to copy and paste layer effects 1:1, without any changes to parameters. When copying and pasting layer effects, editor would change some parameters like sizes, offsets, blurs etc. Assuming it compensates layer size differences. When working on UI its very annoying to keep values in sync between layers. DanÆ, IndieGuy and Kozaluss 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 An interesting idea which I can also see the benefits of. I am wondering whether this functionality could be controlled by the existing “Scale with Object” setting in the Layer Effects Panel. At present, when you use “Paste FX”, the effects are automatically scaled to fit the sizes of the layer(s) the effects are pasted to, no matter what the setting of “Scale with Object” is on those ‘recipient’ layers. If the functionality of “Paste FX” was altered so that it took the “Scale with Object” setting for the ‘recipient’ layers into account then we could determine how this functionality worked on a layer-by-layer basis. And, since the “Scale with Object” setting was determined before the paste was actioned, the ‘recipient’ layers would already be set-up to be resized without scaling without any further user action. It might also help with this if we could have an application-level setting as to whether “Scale with Object” for layer effects was set or unset for new layers (I think this has already been requested). Note: I think this thread may need to be moved to the more-general “Affinity Suite” section of the forums as it’s not just for Designer on Desktop.

Kozaluss Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I second that - so annoying. Whenever I paste FX I have to manually get through all parameters and fix them :/. There should be a switch - paste with scaling or not. Or at least use the switch which is on the FX dialog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted February 18, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 18, 2021 Hi @antonkudin, We are aware of this issue. I've updated/bumped it again to bring it up to developer's attention. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim S Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Is there any movement or fix for this? Still would love to be able to paste absolute fx values to other layers. I'd rather them stay fixed than scale, even, if I only had one choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show fx panel, select layers in Layers panel, enter values in fx panel, which will be set to fx selected layers. Although a bit cumbersome, but at least you can set identical fx parameters for several different objects.

The object you are copying from will either have the option "Scale with Object" on or off in the FX dialog Try the copy using both settings and you should get the result you need either way (V2) Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
