Create 1x and 2x versions of image with export persona

[beatrixwillius]

I'm still using v1 of Affinity Photo.

 

I want to create 2 versions of an image with the export persona. I added a second slice for the 2x image so that I get 2 images:

But the result is totally not useful. I expected the original image and an additional image 50% smaller. Instead the second image is 100% larger. Is this a bug or a feature? How can I make the second image smaller than the original?

It is already clear from the name of the slice that the image will be "2x" larger than the original.

Try this

Ah, okay. I missed something simple. I thought that this meant the name of the resulting slice.

Yes, the second item is the name of the output file, and it reflects the set parameters (the first item) in which the dimensions of the exported image are defined.

Well, the result is a file with the original name and another with the name 0.5x. This is about as clunky as my Retrobatch script.

And how else would you like to define the name of the two exported files/slices? You can rename them according to your needs, but there will always be/must be two.
