pavelkout Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Please merger Character and Paragraph panels in a single panel, which will have to switch tabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00Ghz Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 what's the point then? It will just add one more required click. Quote UI Designer, CG Artist Macbook Pro 15" 2014 2.5 Ghz, 750M https://www.behance.net/VladMafteiuScai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff TonyB Posted February 23, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 23, 2015 We have plans to replace the current Character and Paragraph panels so expect a big improvement later this year. A_B_C, smallreflection and achilles177 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, that'll be great! He's now working with text in simulation design websites not work with two panels comfortable. For example, in the Character panel missing line height.

smallreflection Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Excellent. Personally, considering the typesetting controls necessary to later add separate Character and (hopefully?) Paragraph styles, I like them being seperate. I would also request adding leading control the main bar along with font-size. That's one of my go-tos in typesetting. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DashingDave Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Would the Typography window be included as a panel, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Johnson Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I’d have to agree that the Character and Paragraph panels … contain generous amounts of white space.

Staff MEB Posted May 19, 2015 Staff Share Posted May 19, 2015 We are aware of this. As TonyB already said, they will be revamped later this year. Russ Johnson 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Campbell Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 We are aware of this. As TonyB already said, they will be revamped later this year. While you're revamping, can I request the ability to choose fonts by typing font name (possibly auto-completing Illustrator-style). I have a VERY long font list and having to mouse to the top corner of the interface, click on the font selection and then scroll through is pretty laborious. With AI, I go CMD-ALT-SHIFT-F, which highlights the font selection, then type two or three letters of the font name, and then hit return. I set a lot of type and the current font selection process is major reason for not migrating to AD completely. While I'm on the subject of typesetting, having a 'Recent Font' option added to the contextual menu when right-clicking text would be a huge bonus… Thanks!

Staff MEB Posted May 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted May 24, 2015 Hi Jim, You can already do that. Click on the Font family drop down in the context toolbar and write the first letters of the name of the font. It should jump to that area.

That said, now I've tried it — if I'm working with type, I'll usually have both hands on the keyboard so a keyboard shortcut to activate the font menu would still be much appreciated.

Stephen_H Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I hope this revamp will include upgrading/changing the way tabs are managed. It's totally hit and miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen_H Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 While requesting a font usage improvement... Could the font size values get up & down arrows to tap the font size up a point size or two. If it's not in the pull down list, then you have to manually type new values, (or worse… use my mouse's track surface which sends me skyrocketing into massive numbers) Thanks in advance.

Stephen_H Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 While requesting a font usage improvement... Could the font size values get up & down arrows to tap the font size up a point size or two. If it's not in the pull down list, then you have to manually type new values, (or worse… use my mouse's track surface which sends me skyrocketing into massive numbers) Thanks in advance. I see this has and hasn't happened... Font size and leading still don't have up & down arrows, but amazingly enough, every single other font attribute does. Clearly, this must be a conscious decision to leave them off because it's obviously not a technical limitation. I can't think of any reason for this. Come now guys, what's up with this???? 00Ghz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
