meatwaddancin Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Web developer here, bought Affinity Designer in hopes of switching off Adobe completely. The app was great, got the job done, then I go to export the icon as an SVG and... it saves the color black as "fill:#000". Why Affinity why? :( It should save the color black with no fill tag at all, which will still appear as black, but lets web developers like me then alter the color dynamically via CSS. svg { fill: #888; } Am I hopefully just missing this setting somewhere? Kinda breaks the whole process of making svg icons. I don't want to have to use some important rule or something to overrule such a silly mistake.

Dave Harris Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'm afraid we don't currently support exporting black as no fill. You can export it as "black", but that wouldn't help you. We'll add this in future. km.au and meatwaddancin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatwaddancin Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Any word on if the feature is coming anytime soon? My Adobe renews at the end of the month :( Affinity does like 99.9% of the work, ugggg so tempting to drop Adobe but I don't want to have to remove all the fills manually.

Dave Harris Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 It should be in the 1.5 beta, which should available in a matter of weeks rather than months. meatwaddancin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatwaddancin Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Awesome! How do betas work? Do I have to register to join a beta program or opt-in somewhere in app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 6, 2016 Staff Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hi meatwaddancin, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) You only have to download it from here (1.4.2 beta 4) and install it on your system. You must keep the Mac App Store version installed to be able to validate and run the Customer Beta, otherwise it will not run. When there's an update available you will receive a notification as soon as you start the app with a download link. Download/install it overwriting the previous one. There's also a Customer Beta available for Affinity Photo. You can find it in the corresponding area in Affinity Beta Support section, usually pinned at the top.

meatwaddancin Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Thanks much!! Now tell the rest of the team to hurry up with the 1.5 beta with the svg fill change, I just told my Adobe account to not renew at the end of the month. I'm officially committed! ;-) Madame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
