Visual Foundry Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 Hi, when if ever will the window bounds fit to the document when zooming? This is now the main reason I can't switch to Affinity Photo as it does not work with my workflow. Often I work with many documents open and the manual window sizing is doing my head in and is unworkable for me. Another feature that is also very important in my workflow is the ability to Cascade and Tile open documents. Both of these issues slow down mu workflow to about half that of when working in Photoshop. Maybe I'm missing something but I've had a good look around in version 1.10 and can't find anything related to these lack of features. Please consider implementing these so I can get to work with your otherwise fantastic app. Thank you, Richard Quote

Go to the Windows menu, select Float All. You have several documents open, that results in all those tabs opening initially Cascading. But tiling will have to be done manually. With Windows if you're really wanting Tiled Windows, after Floating All, then right-click on the Task Bar and Select Show Windows Side by Side. Viola' tiled images. 😉 Quote Affinity Photo 2.5..; Affinity Designer 2.5..; Affinity Publisher 2.5..; Affinity2 Beta versions.

The zoom to Fit and the Fit to Width are not quite what I was getting at. When zooming in and out, it's important to my workflow that the document edge automatically fits tight to the document. I think that if Serif want people to make the switch then some of these features (like Cascade, Tile and window bounds fitting the document) would need to be implemented. Otherwise for the workflow that I'm talking about, it is just a mess of sizing windows and window shuffling. And re: the Windows menu/Float All... I am on Mac as Walt pointed out there is a difference. Thanks again, Richard Ron P. 1 Quote
