sjmagy Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Hello, I’ve searched through existing posts (see short list below) but it’s not clearly stated if those requests have been added to the development list or out of consideration. (They don’t appear to be reflected in the roadmap unless I’m missing a reference.) Is it possible to get clarification as to whether Affinity has plans to support: Ability to import Photoshop and Illustrator 'Preset' files / styles: Most Important:Gradients: .grd file extension Styles: .asl file extension Patterns: .pat file extensionIncluding preset pattern fills (related post by someone else is referenced below) Moderately important but could live without:Color Swatches: .aco file extension Custom Shapes: .csh file extension I have a huge library of the above (gradients, styles, and patterns in particular) that I'd rather not lose (or have to recreate) by switching to Affinity Designer. Somewhat-related forum posts: Import .ase and .aco files: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/1483-import-palette…-importing-ase-and-aco-files/ Import Photoshop and vector brushes: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/532-import-photoshop-and-vector-brushes/ Vector pattern fills, custom vector brushes, dotted lines: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/1913-vector-pattern-fills-custom-vector-brushes-dotted-lines/ (This one in particular, it’s stated that vector pattern fills are not yet in the roadmap; does that mean that it’s out of consideration, or just that it’s not coming in the near future?) Thank you for any clarification you can provide. Regards, --S Don - NZ, dkistner1111, tetsu1 and 2 others 5 Quote
PaulB Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I would also like to see an import option for styles and custom shapes since I have a lot of them. Don - NZ 1 Quote
PixelMonsters Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I would like to see this feature also but by the lack of communication here from a mod or staff that worries me. I have a huge collection of styles etc, this may be a deal breaker for me until you guys can get an import for all of them. Don - NZ 1 Quote
Staff MEB Posted August 9, 2015 Staff Posted August 9, 2015 Hi all, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Sorry the delay replying to your questions. I believe it's a little to soon to start looking into these. There's still basic functionality/features (see our roadmaps) that must be implemented first before we can think in new features. Some of those formats refer to features that aren't even implemented/supported yet (vector patterns). So while some may appear in the future they are not a priority at this point.
