danklim Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Hi i want to save a default template with preset canvas size and a green background for all of my documents, every time that i open up the app without needing to manually select anything. How do i do this? Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 16, 2018 Staff Share Posted July 16, 2018 Hi danklim, Welcome to Affinity Forums Currently Affinity apps don't support custom document templates. The best you can do is create a document as you want/need, save it, then open it and Save As with a new name everytime you want to use it as a base for a new document.

Polygonius Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Just a hack: You could create one or several files as you want, save them and make them in the finder "unwrite-able". Then drag this file or an alias into your dock. Start with this item not with your regular AP-icon and you have your template which you can not save (overwrite by misstake) just create a copy with "save as".

It isn't really a hack if you set the file's Locked attribute in its Info window.

markw Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 If you are on a Mac you could also “Check” the ‘Stationery Pad’ box in the file’s Info window. Every time you then open that file the OS will automatically duplicate it and it will be in the duplicated document that you will actually be working, leaving the original untouched. dvoth 1 Quote macOS 10.15.7 | 15" Macbook Pro, 2017 | 4 Core i7 3.1GHz CPU | Radeon Pro 555 2GB GPU + Integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 1.536GB | 16GB RAM | Wacom Intuos4 M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
