loukash Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 You mean something like the Place Images panel? Is there anything wrong with it? apu_place_images_panel.mp4 EricP and ronnyb 2 Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estudio Emosie Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 Muchas gracias por la ayuda pero tal y como funciona no me parece muy práctico. Lo ideal seria que no desapareciera el panel. que estuviera activo y pudieras usarlo. Estaria genial algo como el panel que funciona en publisher como PIXABAY pero con nuestra carpetas Muchas gracias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loukash Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Well, such a panel would then be sort of a "very poor man's DAM"… I'd rather use some more advanced 3rd party DAM and drag and drop my images directly from there. In fact, just yesterday I bought PixlPath which is a simple and lightweight DAM where you can create image catalogs for individual projects or clients. From there I can just drag and drop images into the Publisher layout to make them linked. Easy.

Estudio Emosie Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 I use Bridge for the same thing but I'll take a look at the application you recommend. Thank you. 🥰 In any case, I would like something native, that was in the same program 🤞 But thank you very much for your interest! 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I understand the idea. Still, -1 from me. I specifically dislike the "dynamic" aspect here. I don't think that yet another background process that may slow down the app performance is needed. Stuff like that should be offloaded to a separate process, be it the long requested and eagerly awaited "Affinity DAM" or a corresponding 3rd party app. Besides, there are easy to use built-in OS tools and workflows that can dynamically achieve more or less the same. For instance, what I've been doing since the Mac OS System 7 days: Project folders with Finder aliases to all assets being used in the project: photos, graphics, logos, texts, fonts, you name it, regardless where they actually live on the hard drive. Like that I have only one folder to navigate to via the Place command.

Estudio Emosie Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Gracias por las molestias que os habeis tomado. En fin a mi si me parece una buena idea, no se si el panel debe de ser dinámico o no pero por otro lado también pienso que no debería depender de otros programas que a su vez ya ocupan memoria.... pero esto ya excede mis conocimientos... Un fuerte abrazo y de nuevo gracias por haberos molestado en contestar 😍 loukash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricP Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I like the place panel but I would like it to be persistent. If I drag 20 images and start placing them one by one (not autoflow), I cannot stop the process or switch to another tool to make a small adjustment, otherwise the place panel disappears and I loose track of what images have already been placed. Making it persistent like any other panel would be very helpful when working with imported assets mrqasq, bures, myclay and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
