suizenji Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I have a question in AffinityPhoto. I want to start recording a macro with a portion of a photo selected as a range. 1、CTRL+X 2、CTRL+V Cut and paste to stop recording macro. Next, play the macro with a different part of the picture selected. It cuts the selected area, but pastes the part that was cut during macro recording. Is this a bug? Or is it a specification? If this is the case, I can't use macro anywhere else. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think it is viewed as a bug, but merely one of a large number of areas where macros could be improved. suizenji 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suizenji Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 Thank you. For example, Photoshop provides a way to flip a selected range of images, but Affinity does not. So I tried to create a macro that would cut the selected area, flip it left and right, paste it, and flip it left and right. 1、CTRL+X 2、CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+Left key 3、CTRL+V 4、CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+Left key 5，V However, it did not work well with this macro. It may be that it's a specification and there are cases where it's better, but it would be nice if you could improve it like macros in other software. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's been suggested many times. If you want to add your voice you can search for a one of the topics in the Photo on Desktop Feature Request forum and add your own comment to it. That's where Serif looks for suggestions about improving the application. suizenji 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
