ronnyb Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I haven't seen this in software yet, and its something that's tedious doing manually: Flopping. Not Flipping. Check out the attachment which explains it visually. I would distinguish the two by saying Flipping involves a single item, while Flopping involves two or more items. Flipping is self-explanatory, while Flopping is a multi-step process: 1 Flip all items as one group 2 Flip all items independently (to restore proper orientation).

Staff Ben Posted January 26, 2015 Staff Share Posted January 26, 2015 Already though of that. It was written ages ago as part of prototyping the distribute/align command, but currently has no UI. Rather than flipping twice, the distribute just reordered the shapes and spaces in each axis. ronnyb and 000 2 Quote SerifLabs team - Affinity Developer Software engineer - Photographer - Guitarist - Philosopher iMac 27" Retina 5K (Late 2015), 4.0GHz i7, AMD Radeon R9 M395 MacBook (Early 2015), 1.3GHz Core M, Intel HD 5300 iPad Pro 10.5", 256GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyb Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 why am I not surprised? :) I've been using that flopping routine for years... Can't wait til it's finally a tool!

ronnyb Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 @Ben, if you send me a list of parameters, I can take a crack at putting together a rough GUI....

Staff Ben Posted January 28, 2015 Staff Share Posted January 28, 2015 It's ok - it would have been part of the Arrange popout, but it was scaled back to keep it simple. We may look at doing something when there is time. Perhaps another panel.

000 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I suggest, putting in in a simple script or macro "flip all selected objects individually", not sure though, if Apple Script works in Affinity. Another way would be to put a tick box or iOS-like slider-switch in the Arrange panel with the option to "treat objects individually"; This way one could just switch between regular flipping and super-flipping (don't like the term ,flopping', sounds somewhat negative) while using the standard buttons and features.
