The problem with the grid is the same as with several settings in the Affinity apps, rather than making the setting “sticky”, so that the user can choose the default setting that they want, Serif insist on the settings continually defaulting back to whatever the developers chose instead!

I would be seriously interested to know why Serif does it this way and doesn't use the user-friendly way of setting things up.

I too wonder about Serif's reasoning for some of the settings having a hard wired default choice.

Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Hi Guys at Serif

Speaking of sticky things required I would also like to have the selections I make in Batch mode to be sticky so I don't have to select all of the settings each Time I want to batch process a bunch of images. Even the ability to save the settings until I change the save file would be a big help.

While this is not a bug it does pertains to PaulEC's and J3rry's comments above about having sticky settings to make work flows more user friendly.

If the devs could achieve this it would be great for all of those issues relating to multiple repeated key strokes required to achieve a simple task in other editing software.

Any improvements in this regard would be greatly appreciated as I have invested a lot of time and effort to stick with AP and want to continue if things can be made more streamlined. I have been seriously considering switching to Luminar Neo regardless of price and hope Serif is interested in retaining its user base.

Thanks, and fingers crossed.

Just loaded v2.2.0

It is STILL NOT POSSIBLE to set a grid preset as a GLOBAL default that persists when Affinity Photo is closed or when a new image is loaded.

Forever having to open GRID & AXIS and then load a preset just to get a visible grid of the desired pitch is time wasting, frustrating and not acceptable.    Complaints have been registered on this forum since the demise of v1 and have not been acted on.   This is NOT an enhancement request - it is a request for a return to the functionality of v1

Do you care Serif?

Here we are v2.2.1 update loaded - STILL no resolution of this time wasting and frustrating issue.

Can we have a response from Serif please on when this issue dating from the launch of v2.0.0 will be addressed?   Please.

Almost certainly they will not do that. This is because for several years now it has been their policy not to comment on if or when new features will be introduced into the apps. This in turn is because they do not want to raise any false expectations about such things until they are certain they can be added.

The best you can hope for is to check the latest beta versions to see if something has been added & if it appears to be bug-free.

A previous response from myself can be found on page 2 of this thread - 

This is still logged as an improvement request with our developers, as it is not technically a bug with Affinity Photo. I'll be sure to 'bump' this again for you now.

I'm happy to confirm that the latest beta version, Affinity Photo 2.3.0.2114 has made the following improvements:

  1. The default behaviour of View > Show Grid has been returned to match Affinity Photo V1's behaviour - meaning the 'Automatic' Grid will be applied, which changes the frequency of grid subdivisions as you zoom in/zoom out.

And there will be much rejoicing throughout Affinity-land when this makes it to the retail version! :8_laughing:
