AshTeriyaki Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 What would be the odds of getting macros in Designer too? Shared codebase and all that... I think it'd be super handy. RichardDut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 ""AND can a macro work cross AP and AD?" Theoretically yes, but it is not exposed in Designer. Macros are one of the prerequisites for scripting - and scripting certainly will be exposed in Designer in the future." https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/20561-macro-persona/?p=110171 ....maybe that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be nice to have some basic scriptability today. Surely macros are an implementation of basic scripting = catch an event, do a function, iterate.

Staff Callum Posted August 8, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 8, 2016 Hi AshTeriyaki, As far as I am aware we don't currently have any plans to add Macro support to Affinity Designer however that doesn't mean it can't happen in the future. Hopefully one of the devs will drop by just to confirm this :) C Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully one of the devs will drop by just to confirm this :) Well, Andy Somerfield said this in another thread: "Macros are one of the prerequisites for scripting - and scripting certainly will be exposed in Designer in the future." So there you have it.

AshTeriyaki Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Didn't see this reply! I also saw Andy mention that scripting (Yay) with javascript (Semi-boo) is on the way, I still feel macros would be tip-top though. Firstly for basic things like isometric transforms, scaling tricks etc. But later down the line a Nuke-type implementation would be amazing. Think about it - write a variable, declare a type or make it an argument in a UI-control-create function of some sort, save it as a macro and bosh! On the fly basic plugin and macro creation, pretty killer. If you look into nuke gizmos they even have a basic UI creation tool so you can drag out controls and hook them up later in scripts.
