anweid Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 All Affinity programs use descriptive icon texts for the tool bar that at one point are misleading. See the attached screenshot: For the (z-)reordering of layers, the word Anordnen is used (1). That's good. For aligning objects, the word Ausrichten is used (2). That's fine. (3) also aligns objects, but unfortunately is translated as Anordnen, which means something else. To prevent misunderstandings, (3) should also be called Ausrichten. [nitpicking warning] (4) shows up as Zentriert, which is perfectly understandable and clear, but doesn't have the same wording as the other two horizontal alignment texts next to it. For textual consistency, I would prefer the text Zentriert ausrichten or, if a shorter text is desired, Zentrieren. Andreas Weidner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a discrepancy between the toolbar and the menu: - There is a "Arrange" button in the toolbar: - In the Layers menu, however, this command group is called "Align": - One consequence of this disorder is that two groups of symbols have the same name: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anweid Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 This is what I meant with (3) above: This button should better be called Ausrichten to be consistent. I realised this problem exactly because suddenly, two groups with the same text appeared in the toolbar... Andreas Weidner Michail 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
