Affinity 2.... Distribute Open Documents using Tile-Arrange

[Paul Batty]

I suggested a feature for Affinity 1 Photo, a number of years ago, nothing ever came of that suggestion. Therefore I would like to submit the suggestion again to the development plan of Affinity 2 software. It is feature which may also be useful for Publisher and Designer.

Many photographers need to see quick side by side comparisons, or to to be able to see multiple donor images which can aid in the production of composite images. It definitely improved the speed of production in my own professional work flow.

I am talking about the arrange document window feature which is found in many other pieces of software on the planet, even MS Excel has it!

How come the Affinity suite does not even have the most basic 'Tile' option?

To be able to take open documents and have them neatly arrange themselves in the workspace in a fraction of second is a great aid, rather than the awful 'Float View to Window' option, which I have used, but find a real pain when compared to what the competition offers!

Other Affinity users in the forum said they would welcome such a useful feature. I attach an image which shows a possible implementation, in my mind it would improve the Affinity software for the many end users who support your efforts.

Please can you make a start and just add the basic 'Tile feature. Its not much to ask, is it? But if you can add the other bits that would be even better. Thanks.

Thanks @Paul Batty. Your idea is amazing! I'd love and need this feature.

I'm frequently working on batches of images at the same time, sometimes different exposures, so this would be helpful also I agree.
