Double-clicking on view tools no longer works

[Michail]

With a double-click on the zoom tool, the 100% view was previously obtained, and with a double-click on the view tool, the fitting view. Both no longer work in Affinity Designer 2. In Photo and Publisher it works as expected.

Furthermore, both tools are now in the same tool flyout, which may be intentional.

The developers may have worked in this area. Therefore there might be a connection to the following thread:

- View/ customize toolbar (the second one, at the bottom of  View menu).

- Drag the normal loupe (amplifier tool) over the vertical toolbar. Place it wherever  you love best.

- Drag the normal HAND (view tool is called?) over the vertical toolbar. Place it wherever  you love best.

- To avoid visual repetition, as slows workflow, you can remove  the existing deployable loupe, just drag it over the icons vault, the large depot that appears while yet there "customize tool bar" being active.

- Close customize toobar (just clicking again on View/Customize toolbar).

- There, same functionality than before.

 

I'm happy I solved this in 5 minutes after reading the post... That's an improvement over 3 days of one of my latest workarounds "discoverings".

Kind of... not a bug, but that they thought this was more tidy?

But hey, that's why I love software with options, like Affinity, to each their own to configure it at their best preference. I agree with you, that we have this muscle memory from Adobe tools (and maybe corel?), where it worked exactly like that, and indeed, it is HUGELY practical to  have this double click functionality in our every day in the 3 apps.

This served me to leave my designer beta with this already "fixed". So, thank you.

Cheers.

(and apologies for the writing style and typos, I'm a bit in a rush at the moment  ).

About zoom... I hadn't notice the other thread's issue, as I use the mouse wheel for zoom (unchecked by default in preferences)... but other ppl are used to that workflow. In their shoes, I'd might use X-Mouse Button control (free, but only Windows) to replace some mouse-keys combo, but right now dunno if it's actually possible.

I am aware that you can customise the tools. However, it is surprising that the double-click only works for the individual tools.

It's not a big deal and I just wanted to mention it. It's an inconsistency between the programmes.
I've also been wondering since the beginning that only in Affinity Publisher are the two thematically related tools next to each other.

As I said, I just wanted to mention it

I suspected that you could know this, somehow. But in doubt, I preferred to leave here the solution, to be honest mostly for other people (I'm afraid that the number of people not knowing that you can customize the tools is not a small number) that might find the thread, and/or have less clues about what is going on when double clicking the loupe or the hand icon, as actually, I hadn't realized it happens in Designer -I am hyper focused on Photo-, and at a first moment when you warned about it, I checked it and had a first impression of a removed feature (while it's about changing a default, really).

Hi @Michail,

I've now logged this inconsistency with the developers.
