Hi can one not adjust the slice outputs on iPad for anything other than the 1x -3x settings? If so, can someone clue me into the process?

If not possible, what are they thinking?

Thanks,

Jim

Pretty sure those presets are to help app developers who normally have to create many versions of icons and bitmaps with those ratios.

Hi Paul, yes agreed that is the usual. However the desktop version allows us to specify even more, SO I am looking for a way to do so with Designer for iPad.

 

Thanks

Unfortunately on iPad we only support 1x 2x and 3x at the moment.

Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

Well, here’s a wrinkle that is interesting, and might even be helpful for some.  These comments apply to the current release of Designer, 1.10.

If you define custom Slices in Export Persona on a desktop, move that file to iPad, Export Persona will use the desktop slice definitions, so iPad definitely has a way of finding those definitions.  At least, that’s what happens when I do that, as I discovered by accident.  However, if you inspect such a file on the iPad, Designer does not confess to knowing anything about the desktop slice definitions.  I did not try to edit the desktop slice definitions on my iPad, but I’m sure they will be overwritten on the iPad.

If your iPad is faster than your desktop like mine is, and you have a large enough Export workload, it might be worth using a Cloud mechanism to move export workloads to iPad.

What I’d really like to see is the desktop slice preset mechanism come to iPad.  That would be wonderful.

I suspect the iPad honours all desktop settings but the iPads UI does not offer access to create/edits those 'hidden' settings. Changing text background is a simple example. Available in desktop but not iPad yet desktop settings are honoured in iPad. So much power under the hood that we are not given access to.🙁

@DM1I’m sure you’re right.  My experience using AD on both MBP and iPad suggests the biggest issue on the iPad is display space.  I find the desktop UI considerably easier to use and more efficient, but there are also aspects of the iPad that are superior to my MBP setup.  Perhaps it’s related to the fact my MBP is quite old now, and does not have a touch-sensitive display such as the iPad’s; my MBP is old, and does not support Apple’s SideCar.
