SolCygnus Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 save as ... different file formats why not being straight forward instead of having to save in affinity format and then using export? MartinK and Pixlers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 You don't have to save in affinity format before exporting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim@ping23.com Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 This is my question also. I am rapidly falling in LOVE with Affinity - GREAT WORK! ...However, the dysfunctional "Save As" dialog severely hampers my workflow. Part of my process is to create and save variations on images. Being able to "Save As" in the SAME file format as the original, back in the SAME folder as the original, with a minimum of clicks is a very basic kind of operation. The "Export" dialog does allow you to accomplish this, but it requires more work, especially as it does not default back to the same folder the original file came from. I would so love to move away from Photoshop. I do hope you'll consider changing this to the (very functional) way that most applications (yes, Photoshop) behave.

SrPx Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Would making yourself a macro be a best fit for you , for now ? I haven't tried to do so with AP or AD, though... But I remember doing that with a bunch of packages, and having different macros for different export types, that also included several settings on the way, even deactivating some steps, for certain cases. Quote AD, AP and APub. V1.10.6 (not using v1.x anymore) and V2.4.x. Windows 10 and Windows 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
