TwangerMan Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 New to iPad and Affinity Designer. Don’t see a way to navigate thru and choose a folder for the Save As. Must be missing something… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 When you do a Save As from Live Docs in Designer 2, you should get a Files dialog like this one: The navigation bar on the left side will let you navigate elsewhere on your iPad or in your network.

I have one Doc on Live Doc, and when I tap the 3 line icon, I get Save and Save As. Save As does not give me those options. I'm also not sure if I should start another thread as when I am actually in the document, I do not have "Save a Copy" as an option. Have not been able to get a file that iCloud says is saved there to my desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 You're too early for those options, @golfortennis. Persevere, and give it the name, and click Save. 59 minutes ago, golfortennis said: I'm also not sure if I should start another thread as when I am actually in the document, I do not have "Save a Copy" as an option.

You're not supposed to have any Saving options within the document, at least in the current retail and beta releases of V2. You Save from Live Docs.

Thank you. It appears the issue was the length of time it was taking to save, not the process. I do see my file where I want it finally. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Live Docs, clicking Save simply "saves" with a brief little pop-up and a spinning thingy while it is saving. Which is expected behavior for Save. It is Save As where I would expect a navigation panel to select a location. I see exactly what golfortennis shows, a little Save/Cancel pop-up dialog where I can change the name, and that is it.

Wasn't golfortennis doing a Save As, not a Save? Their screenshot is of the Save part of the dialog when using Save As, I think.

Coming back to this as I had forgotten about it at the time. I had pulled up a video from someone showing V2 and new features, and his menu had Save a Copy. At 9:03 of this video, his menu is very different from what I have. (Don't know how to embed with the arrow set to the exact moment.) But 9:03 would also explain my previous question, since I saw that. I don't get the sense this fellow is a Serif guy based on what I am seeing but maybe. Just seems weird he has that.

TwangerMan Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Have since rediscovered what sent my on this trail...When I have an Untitled file and want to navigate to an existing file and re-use part or all of the filename. Cannot seem to do that, as the name is required first during a Save As. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
