infobahn Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) When Mission Control is invoked on Mac, any "floated" windows in Designer disappear. While this is expected behaviour for elements like floating tool palettes on the Mac, it should certainly not apply to document windows. I suppose the underlying problem is Affinity's unusual treatment of these windows as auxiliary. In any case, it makes working between documents on a small screen unnecessarily opaque.

fde101 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 "unusual" doesn't even begin to describe it... they way they implemented those windows is just plain wrong. PaoloT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakub M. Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 This should be fixed. For me its crucial part of workflow and I guess for others too. PaoloT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaoloT Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 The Affinity programs are clearly made by someone who has developed on Windows for decades, and now seems to try to counter any convention of the Apple UI. The result is not just a matter of different attitude and adaptation, but one of compromised efficiency. Bryan Rieger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adobe has done several things right (the floating and collapsible palettes!), but also too many things in a very confusing way. The problem, here, is that it is supposed one will work on a single document at a time. I don't know if this works fine for a designer, but that's not how an editorial process works. Having several documents open at the same time (for reference, multiple contributions, revision, integration, comparison, translation, reuse) is the common rule. That's one of the reasons of the great success of Apple in the publishing world. Affinity has decided to do the opposite of what made Apple successful in this area.
