Lojza Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Sorry, if I'm missing something, but is there a way, how to duplicate an existing slice in the Export Persona? There's so many things that may be defined within a slice, so duplication would really speed things up...

Staff MEB Posted October 4, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hi Lojza, As far as i know currently there's no way to duplicate a slice. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schubi63 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hi Lojza, that's true. But if you want to duplicate the export settings of a slice you have at least the possibility to copy the settings from one slice to another. Unfortunately therefore are no customizable short cuts provided. Best, Stefan.

Julian23 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I think it should be possible to drag a slice with the ALT key being pressed to duplicate it. It would make it much easier to create equally sized slizes for GUI projects. MattP, Brad Brighton and kirloi 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted October 6, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 6, 2016 I think this would be a good idea. I'll move this to the Feature Requests section. anon1 1 Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know why, but I thought it was some image format configuration :wacko: This helps a lot!

voidsea Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I need this feature a lot. Quote The Boss is watching you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p10n Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Why can't we just copy-and-paste slices from one document to another? This would be very handy if you have to export images with similar width/height ratio from different documents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadbuttrue Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Any progress on this, as it appears to still be a severely lacking feature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 1, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi sadbuttrue, Welcome to Affinity Forums No, sorry. I've moved this thread to the new Feedback for the Affinity Suite of Products section (as it refers to more than one product). The original one where you posted was old/archived. p10n 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightjar Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Still lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zmip Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Still lacking... Moreover: slices don't seem to snap to anything. So if you create a grid with ruler lines, you're still out of luck when you want to create a number of equally sized slices. Serif really has my sympathy, but as a (graphics) software developer I find it hard to understand why someone tasked with a feature (let's say: slices), just makes things this half-baked. Did the spec say: "something with slices", or was the spec actually complete, making slices a feature people could actually use? Tip: create the software you actually want to use. I've said it before: you have some really smart people working on the Affinity suite, you can do better than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p10n Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Yes, good point! I am missing snapping as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
