Additions to the Context Toolbar


Recommended Posts

I would like to have the "Section Manager...", "Font Manager..." and "Resource Manager..." from the Document menu available on the Context Toolbar alongside the "Document Setup...", "Spread Setup..." and "Preferences...".

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

A really, really handy and I'm sure often-used addition to the Text Context Toolbar would be a twin increase-decrease (up-down arrows) to change text point size, one point at a time. The current version's Text Context Toolbar uses such a control for the number of Columns. See uploaded image below. Same for line spacing and other numerical controls. Sure would be faster/easier than selecting the number and typing in another value. Great success using the current Beta.

Also looking forward to being able to import, convert and use old InDesign files.

Bill PDX, if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel you should be able to hover the mouse pointer over the Font Size field and use the scroll wheel to change the value by a Unit. Also, Shift+scroll-wheel changes by 10xUnit and Ctrl+scroll-wheel changes by 0.1xUnit. The same thing should work for the other numerical input fields too, although not all numerical input fields change by a simple Unit (e.g. Paragraph Leading).
