Mark_A Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 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. Mark Dimitrios 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff NathanC Posted March 29 Staff Share Posted March 29 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. 🙂 Mark_A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_A Posted May 18 Author Share Posted May 18 Yes, hopefully Serif will be able to give this some love in due course, it's not so much a feature request as a regression from version one. Mark Andy Mo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sempervivum Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 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: Dimitrios 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sempervivum Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 "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. Dimitrios 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayR Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 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! Dimitrios 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_A Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 Alas, this regression from Affinity 1 not fixed yet in Affinity version 2.2. Please revisit this, Serif. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayR Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 This change in functionality is REALLY ANNOYING - especially when you are loading and checking lots of individual photos. Please, please, please Serif sort this out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len96 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 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.
