Requests for Designer

[Raff]

I updated Designer to the latest version, 2.2.1 (on Windows 10)
I have some doubts.
I don't understand what has been fundamentally improved/added compared to the previous one, I think nothing!

1. The possibility of vectorizing images has not been introduced.
It is essential in a program that should be specific to work with vectors!

2. There is no possibility to make a quick and easy preview of a multiplied pattern (as there is in Affinity Photo).

3. There is no possibility of "recoloring" a vector drawing/pattern by automatically exchanging the colors of the assigned palette (as there is in Adobe Illustrator).  You have to do everything "by hand"!

At the moment, to create and modify a pattern design I have to use alternately 3 (THREE) different programs.

- Inkscape (or other external software) to vectorize images and correct the vector/path thus created.
- A. Designer to set the pattern by importing the vectors created with Inkscape.
- A. Photo to be able to see the effect given by the pattern I created, after exporting it as JPG from Designer.

And this a thousand times, until the result satisfies me.

I'd say we're not there!

I believe that what I mentioned are some of the functions necessary to be able to work well with vectors and patterns.
I hope that they will be implemented in "our" Designer as soon as possible!

Ok. These are (almost) all "improvements" or fixes to existing bugs, NOT insertions of important and fundamental features like the ones I mentioned.

Yes I know but you didn't fundamentally know what the made up the update so I just added a link for you to see what had been done.

There are requests for some of what you would like to see, such as trace capabilities but not everything is requested that you want so I would suggest you make requests in the appropriate section: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/122-feedback-for-the-affinity-v2-suite-of-products/

Sì, lo so, ma fondamentalmente non sapevi in cosa consisteva l'aggiornamento, quindi ho appena aggiunto un collegamento per farti vedere cosa era stato fatto.

Ci sono richieste per alcuni di ciò che vorresti vedere, come le funzionalità di tracciamento ma non tutto è richiesto quindi ti suggerirei di fare richieste nella sezione appropriata:  https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index .php?/forum/122-feedback-for-the-affinity-v2-suite-of-products/

Thanks

If you learn more about the meaning of the numbering of individual versions of ASuite applications, you will know that changing version 2.2.x to 2.2.y (for example, 2.2.0 to 2.2.1) always brings only bug fixes and minor improvements. More fundamental changes and new functionality can only be expected when version 2.3.x is released.

Se approfondisci il significato della numerazione delle singole versioni delle applicazioni ASuite, saprai che cambiare la versione da 2.2.x a 2.2.y (ad esempio, da 2.2.0 a 2.2.1) porta sempre solo correzioni di bug e miglioramenti minori . Cambiamenti più fondamentali e nuove funzionalità saranno previsti solo con il rilascio della versione 2.3.x.

I was also referring to the transition from version 1 to 2... meaning that these functions have not been added so far.
Not specifically the last update, maybe I didn't express myself well.
