Styles Panel - Thumbnail & Label view

[cocopotomos]

Hi
I am new to Affinity Designer and a long time user of FreeHand.
From a tutorial I noticed that on the iPad version of AD there is the option to view the Styles Panel in either Thumbnail or Panel view.
That does not appear to be an option on the desktop version - is this the case or am I missing something?
If so will this feature be available in a near update?
Can the different styles be sorted into any preferred order?
This is a feature I use a lot with FreeHand as I have an extensive library of styles.
thanks
Helen

The styles panel is in need of some attention and is very basic.

• There is no alternate view other than the one you see
• You can't select multiple styles and move styles to other categories
• You can't increase or decrease the icon sizes
• You can create categories and create styles within those categories

I would hope Affinity add a styles manager soon as it's definitely needed, the organisation of assets such as Brushes, Styles and Assets (in Designer) is a core feature for professional apps but in many ways Affinity is lacking in this area and needs to up it's game.

Hello Helen,
Welcome to this forum.
Styles, is activated in the Panel Studio.

A sort order is not known to me, but you can create new categories, and fill them with new styles.

 

I hope it helps.

Cheers
