SVG drag support from e.g. the Noun Project Client

[Gatada]

Hey,

 

Love Affinity Designer – I see the distant light in the tunnel from Sans Adobe land!

 

I'm guessing you know and love The Noun Project? A huge "free" pictograms collection growing by the minute. Well, they recently released a Mac client allowing me to browse icons and import the .SVG by dragging from the client directly. It is awesome.

 

However, Affinity Designer (Beta) doesn't support dragging from the client. I have to drag to e.g. Pages and then into Affinity Designer.

 

Would love to see improved drag support for .SVG!

Hi Johan,

 

I've not heard of that before - but I'll take a look. You can just drag SVG files straight onto Designer and it will open them, so I don't know how they're offering their files in order for them to not work, but it must be fairly easy to sort it out, I'm sure...

 

Thanks again! :)

I've added this now so the next beta of Designer and Photo will be able to correctly accept vector information from drags from this (and other) applications.

 

Thanks,

Matt

I'm able to drag icons into Affinity Designer but they are not vectors and then I can't edit them.

What are you dragging them from? The Noun Project Mac Client App?

Yes.
