My wish list (from a former Corel user)

[uli123]

My wish list to improve Affinity software (first suggestions):

- Keep all export settings "from the last time", even between all apps.
- Photo: open dialogs (adjustments, filters, effects ...) with default values instead of zero, so I can see directly what happends (on/off in preferences)
- bring CMYK swatches
- print and export more pages on one page (eg. 6 business cards on one page)
- copy outline and filling from one object to another
- speed up color selection with the mouse: left for filling, right for outline color
- bring a slider next to text frames for line space
- convert artic text to frame and frame text to artic text

(I miss this and much, much more because I've switched from Corel)

Is there a particular reason you posted this in Feedback for Affinity Publisher? You could have used the section for the Affinity Suite if these apply to all the applications.

For printing, all the applications support an "N-Up" layout mode.

Select the source object, and Edit > Copy (or right-click and choose Copy). Select target object and Edit > Paste Style. (Note: Does not work for text.)

Thank you, Walt!

I don't print, I always export things like PDF. That's why I haven't used the print dialog. With Windows 10 I can print into a PDF file, that's ok.

Paste Style works, thanks a lot!

You're welcome.
