Restricted macro record facility

[ChrisPWilliams]

Hello all

 

I think it would be very useful if you could expand on the macro record feature witihn Affinity Photo. Allowing the ability to change layer names and switch between layers would be a good start.

 

Keep up the good work!!

Hi ChrisPWilliams,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

You can already change layer's names - they will be recorded - but you can reference them for use in other steps if that's what you are referring to.

Can you elaborate a bit?

Hi

 

Thank you for responding.

 

I tried to record a macro but if I try to switch between layers either to rename them or adjust them whilst recording the macro, I get the message: ' cannot record set current selection'

 

If I try to alter the name of any layer including the one i am working on, I get the message: 'Cannot set description in record macro mode'

 

Also if I try to clip an adjustment layer to a pixel layer I get the message 'cannot record move'

 

Hope that makes more sense
