softhater Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Hello! During the use of the Affinity Designer, I noticed some difficulties in the work and would like to describe them. 1. It would be great if you could change the name when creating / editing a document. 2. The left toolbar can not be edited and configured directly from the preview window. The need for viewing - setting tools. And the top toolbar can! 3. Export all settings to a separate file. 4. One checkbox turns the normal search into a hotkey search and all menu functions. Give people the opportunity to set up a modal window in height! I have a big screen, but I do not see all the hot keys on the screen!5. Make the gradient a separate modal window and add it to the studio. This will speed up the work several times! 000, A_B_C, Aammppaa and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softhater Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 10. It would be great if you could download your library of lut-presets. upload each time, a very long time! 11. Double click on the style — rename (fast) del/backspake — delete style (add hotkey) 12. Please add hiding of artboards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted September 16, 2017 Staff Share Posted September 16, 2017 Lots of good suggestions, thank you! We would struggle with number 12 in particular as our artboards are containers - hence they clip their contents. The example you show is from illustrator which has artboards that are basically just background areas drawn specially - they do not contain the items placed over them. If you only wanted one artboard then we could do this as you’d not actually use artboards at all - just a normal document with single spread. The background of this kind of document could happily be shown/hidden as it would not clip its children softhater, MobinA and 000 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciated the boards-containers, I also like the function Clip to canvas, which removes everything outside the artboard. Hiding the artboard is necessary only in order to type in text or a large amount of infographics. It would be great if there was an opportunity to change the background color. I still have many ideas and questions! For example.. How do I manually search for fonts? How to download dictionaries for spelling for the Russian language? How to select a locked layer and unlock it without resorting to the layers panel? up. I realized that in the mode of outline can select a closed object Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avicenna Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hi. This is just my opinion. For #7. I don't agree. Maybe it looks cool, but the border is needed to separate it from the panel color. (maybe options to toggle it on or off will be better) For #8. Since I use a small monitor, the current panels/ buttons are already huge, showing it all together will take more space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Functions 7 and 8 imply the existence of the flag, this means that they can be turned on or off. #8 there are check box. If you have a small screen, then you can only use Color wheel. I find it hard to switch every time, it would be good to use them together. (as an idea) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
