Henrik Asteberg Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 The Designer app for iPad i great in many ways but the file management gives me a headache. I’ve read the blogpost on Affintiy Spotlight several times to understand their reasoning for the file management but it still causes me confusion, I know I can’t be the only one. If I only used the iPad app I wouldn’t have this issue but moving between iPad and desktop is confusing. My issues are: 1) There is no way of knowing if a file is saved locally in the iPad app, imported from the cloud or opened from the cloud. Please make this clear with some sort of indication, grouping or anything that makes it clear to me as a user that moves between desktop and iPad. This can’t be difficult to make clear for users. 2) When I have opened a file from the cloud in the iPad app and then edit that file on the desktop the change doesn’t happen in the iPad version, there is no syncing of the changes made on the desktop to the iPad. However it seems to be syncing the other way around, changes made and saved on the iPad appear on the desktop. However I never feel certain of this and have experimented several times to understand what is happening. 3) Since I never know if a file is stored locally or on the cloud I don’t know if it is “safe” to close a document or not. Am I simply closing it on the iPad or is it still stored in my cloud storage? skmwrp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
