R34V3r Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I mainly like to work on a surface for photo editing thanks to the great screen, pen input and touchscreen. I think a lot of people also like surface as a photo editing machine. After seeing the Ipad version of Affinity photo it left me a bit wanting of the traditional desktop UI on devices like the surface however. It is a great UI experience when using the device in laptop/desktop mode, but when you want the paint with the pen for example, the experience turns bad quickly. I allready struggled with the fact that touch input is seen as the same as a mouse click instead of panning the canvas, so using the touchscreen as a main navigation tool is not that intuïtive, but after seeing the Ipad version, a lot more things pop out to me like "damn that's a good idea, I wish my surface could do that". I was wondering if Windows 10's tablet mode could be more integrated with the application, like switching to the Ipads UI when tablet mode is activated, so that editing on a device like the surface is a lot more comfortable. This would mean that someone could just flip the keyboard and work in the document with a UI tailored for tablets, and flip it back to tablet mode when wants a more desktop like experience. Are there plans to implement such features into the desktop app? Or is there a touch based UWP app in the works? I was really blown away in how good the Ipad UI actually is, and I really think a more integrated experience into Windows' built in tablet mode will help a lot of people in their workflow.

Staff MEB Posted June 12, 2017 Staff Share Posted June 12, 2017 Hi R34V3r, As far as i'm aware currently there's no plans to develop a touch based interface for Windows similar to the one found on iPad. I'm moving this thread to the Feature Requests section.

Codex404 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 This is something that would add a lot to Affinity in my opinion. Laptops with touchscreens are readily available and it seems weird to me that even MS Office has better support for it touchscreens than drawing software with a pen.
