Paste FX should be in context menu


Recommended Posts

This is a dumb little thing, but I actually thought the Affinity suite didn't HAVE this feature until I went up to the edit menu and saw "Paste FX." (In other programs I know this as Paste Attributes or similar). So I was actually just about to make a request for this feature... but it exists! So that's great. But I feel like the most logical place to discover it would be right-clicking on a layer? Is there a reason it is not available in that context menu?

If you add an "fx" to something you just copy the item and then you will have the "Paste Fx" option in the menu. This is with Photo but I'm quite sure Designer has it too.

Yep - I found it there - but for years at this point (lol) I didn't know it existed. I'm just saying it should be more discoverable, maybe by putting it in the right-click menu.

Something else that would help would be a simple message in the FX panel (there's a good amount of white space along the bottom bar) subtly mentioning "You can paste FX in the Edit menu." Or something to that effect.
