Unable to see Asset names on iPad

[jonL]

Asset names painstakingly created on Mac with a view to sharing with other devices aren't now visible when the resulting .afassets file is imported on an iPad. Surely that can be fixed? I have dozens of very small and visually indistinguishable thumbnails on iPad Publisher so currently *impossible* to find the right one.

@jonL Welcome to the forums.

As it is the Assets studio in the iPad versions of the apps don't have the option to Show as List.

This may be an option that's added in the future so that the individual asset names can be shown.

Thanks - that confirms what i thought. I look forward to that change hopefully being implemented.

I'd like to upvote on this, I know that space is a premium on the iPad UX but even an option to switch between the name and the asset display would help if it was difficult to stack a thumbnail above some text in the list.

I'm given a crappy Windows machine at work without Affinity and as a Cloud Platform Architect I really don't want to use Visio or Draw.io which is what work provides, I've got a little leeway to use my own iPad and mail in diagrams so I added the whole svg set of GCP icons to Affinity last night, then I was a little lost trying to use them today - it was actually easier yesterday just using files in iCloud Drive because I could find them by name and preview them there but using place for every one is a PITA.

I know Designer isn't designed as a business diagramming tool but surely other folks have fairly large asset sets that they could benefit from displaying with text, or even being able to search on the text like in the Stock tool.
