Path with gradient

[DarkClown]

I have a path with a gradient. Copied the path and move it somewhere else. Now the gradient on the copy is only a fraction of original gradient. But the color field for the gradient shows up properly. How can I reset the startig and endpoint for the gradient to align with the start and beginning of the curve bounding box? (I assume a gradient following the curve is still not available?!)

Any help appreciated

Sadly, no… 
(Heck, even Apple's puny Preview app can correctly display PDFs with gradients that follow a curve!)

Likely the best workaround so far is to create the gradient-on-curve in another app that supports it (e.g. VectorStyler), export as PDF and place the PDF as passthrough into Affinity. It will be displayed as slightly pixeled, but it should probably export correctly as vector if needed.

Stupid me ... could have tried that before ...

Thx loukash

Recently stumbling over this lacking feature myself again, I'm just wondering if there are any plans on implementing propper path following gradients just like e.g. in Illustrator?

I know the workaround, but that's not the ideal way of course.

Now in AD 2.5.7 !! Make a brush of a gradient filled strip.

See this video. Thank you 2dgameartguru

 At last! 🥴 🥳

Thanks. Yeah, that's the workaround I mentioned. Not the real deal, but better than nothing. To be honest tho, I'm tired of workarounds and I wouldn't speculate that optimisticly on 2.5.7.
