Grid preset: setting needed to set a grid preset as default


Recommended Posts

Once a grid preset is created (using the menu 'View/Grid and Axis'), Affinity 2 needs to give people the ability to set that preset as a default - so that when the software is reopened and a new image opened, that preset grid can instantly be made visible using the shortcut Cmd and '   .

This would restore a time-saving function lost between versions 1 and 2.

Hi @Mark_A,

This is more of a feature request/improvement than a bug, so i've moved this thread over to feedback.

This is also something that we currently have logged internally as an improvement, so it's possible that this will be added in a future update. 🙂

Just installed V2.1.0 and still this issue is not fixed.  😟😟😟 It's even more confusing: When I switch in the settings to my custom grid of 128px it's working fine - well known so far. When I save as afphoto and load again, it's still working. However when I open a new photo switching on the grid doesn't work again. Obviously this setting is saved in the context of the photo, not in general. This is annoying and unacceptable: The setting has to be set any time a new photo is opened.

A lot of users are affected by this issue:

"This is more of a feature request/improvement than a bug, so i've moved this thread over to feedback." Too bad, I suspect that feature requests or the feedback section will be given a lower priority. As mentioned in the thread I referenced above this may be subject of discussion: A feature (switching on the grid by shortcut) that worked in V1 trouble-free doesn't work in V2 anymore. This is a bug.

Totally agree, it is from the first moment that I installed v.2 that I'm trying to get some attention about it in two different threads, here and also here - but months passing by and there is no improvement...

Every time that I open a new photo I lose the grid and have to set it up again. This is unacceptable and unusable when trying to check alignment in a lot of photos.

Please, please, please sort this out. It worked fine in V1 but does not work in V2!!!! Treat it as a bug even if through some convoluted logic you really believe that it is an enhancement. Your users don't agree with you..... to us it worked well in V1 and does't work in V2 so it is a BUG!

Just installed v2.2.0.  This issue IS STILL NOT ADDRESSED.   It is essential to have the ability to be able to set a custom grid as a GLOBAL default that persists when AP is closed or a new image is loaded.

Why is something long requested and so labour saving not addressed?   It's irritating issues like this that make me think 'come back Photoshop'.

Please fix this urgently Serif.
