AshTeriyaki Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 It's something you review frequently enough that it shouldn't be buried in a menu bar, I'd also say the same for the section manager.

MikeW Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I don't think the Resource Manager should be a Studio panel. To make full use of it requires a wider size and I would hate to see it bounce wider/narrower when in use or focus has been moved elsewhere. However, the information for a selected image or other asset should be in a Studio "information" studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the Resource Manager is work in progress I am just hoping for a better solution to come. Quote iMac 27" with macOS Mojave (German) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrika Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 +1 The way it is, as its own window, it is constantly in the way of what I'm doing - you either need to close and reopen it constantly or keep moving it around. sportyguy209 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that the selected image details should show in a studio as well. sportyguy209 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eph Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 One more vote, resources should be managed in a flexible way, like all the other 'live' tools. This feels like a step back into the 20th century..! woefi and sportyguy209 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, that it's nice to have the UI split into 2 narrow sidepanels, as Lightroom does. And a big resource-panel is most times kind of in the way (I tried it with Indesign's on a smaller Screen - it's never broad enough) -> BUT ever since my main workhorse got an 27 inch next to its 24 Inch AppleCinemaDisplay all the panels went to the 24 Inch. Also: since I sometimes work in the wild using my tiny 13 non-retina macbook, I appreciate the minimized panel-approach of Indesign: one icon on screen and, if pressed (not expanded), overlap all the other panels on screen, and go back to icon-size.

Fixx Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I really not care where the menu command is located – I prefer to call palettes up with key shortcut anyway. It should be possible to set single studio panel appear bigger than others. Of course saved workspaces would help here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USD Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 +1 In my opinion, the Affinity suite interface needs a big change. Sometimes there are too many steps for a simple task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
