helloiammary12 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I hardly, if ever, use the joystick icon to do task in affinity designer on the iPad. Please allow a setting to always have it hidden when opening a document. It is annoying having to hide it every time and it gets in the way of the canvas.

The problem is that there doesn’t seem to be a Preferences setting to keep it hidden until further notice.

But: It's just one click/tap to hide it. And If it were a Preference, and you ever needed it, you'd have to leave the document, update the Preference, and come back to the document.

Not if the preference is simply to remember the state it was last in and keep it that way, or else to indicate whether or not it should be initially visible when opened (but leave the icon there to show/hide as it is now). walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_J Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 In Photo, the Command Controller is off by default. If that is the intended behavior, I wonder why it’s different in Designer. Maybe Serif assumes it will be used more in Designer? I prefer consistency between the apps. I like fde101’s suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Ash Posted December 7, 2022 Staff Share Posted December 7, 2022 It should just always remember your last state - we’ll sort it!
