any "select tools" besides "marque"? (constrain aspect ratio)

[thomaso]

@matt, @andy,

 

your reply in https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/560-selection-marqu%C3%A9-tools-constrain-aspect-ratio-and-slow-speed/&p=2336 does irritate me.

 

I don't see any tool called "select" besides a various marque tools in pixel mode – whereas a beta mail mentioned "Select tool ... constrain aspect ratio" and matt asked/replied "I assume" concerning my initial question.

 

Just in case Affinity has more than the the rich bunch of Marque Tools of pixel mode ("persona"? you might want to consider to define/name them accordingly in the later manual & online help. (compare 2 screenshots attached: "marque", "selection")

 

(i'll check in next beta: marque: constrain aspect ratio – and let you know here)

Hi thomaso,

 

I'm genuinely really sorry if I've upset you in any way - it's certainly not my intention at all and both myself and Andy were just trying to help :) If any confusion has come about because of the beta email mentioning the 'Select tool' then that is completely my fault and I apologise - it was our name for the 'Move Tool' for the last few years before we changed to call it the 'Move Tool' just before beta and I've obviously made a mistake and referred to it as the Select tool in the beta update email the other week.

 

Again, I'm very sorry for any confusion or upset, I certainly didn't mean to! :)

Matt

> if I've upset you in any way

 

no, you did not. Also,  -_- , I feel sorry if my reaction did sound like beeing upset.

 

I just got confused and/but felt shure you want to be informed about any such users' insureness. This is what 'beta' is about, right?

However, just pls make shure not to 'surprise' any not [fixed] issue or wording in the a beta.

 

btw: I am a youngtimer in this forum: there are posts about 'beta 5'. – Long time ago? I experience beta names like "17644" or "18089".

 

I feel shure it would help anyone if you would use one strictly consequent naming for beta versions. And for any users posting, too, if needed. Up to you: forums structure: by beta? = by date ? Shure?

Unfortunately I had added some questions about a totally different topic above. The quoted question meanwhile got sort of answered by TonyB: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/762-does-a-beta-update-overwrite-previous-beta-behavior/&p=2683
