Ron P. Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I'm running Designer on Windows, and that online help is for Designer on Windows. Do like the instructions suggest and you will get that menu. I didn't know it existed, until I read the help about it, and tried it.

However, I find it impractical that you cannot open menus such as the "Transform" menu. PaulEC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulEC Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 How much simpler can it get? Select the item you want, then hit Return! How could it work if you just opened a Menu without first selecting the object? And wouldn't opening a Menu be more work than just hitting Return?

bures Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Perhaps this option should be listed in the user interface. E.g. as a context menu item, main menu item, toolbar button, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it's really easy. The menu is much more logical and better, because all the other menus such as transform, etc. are accessible via the menu.

Return Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Perhaps the (online) help should have a section where it states " what's new" in version XX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like this, perhaps: https://affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/Introduction/keyFeatures.html?list=newFeatures It would be even more helpful if it also included sections for what's new in 2.1, and in 2.0, rather than only including the new items in 2.2.

Perhaps before the introduction link with emphasis in color to stand out from the rest of the help topics. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
